TNS Code

TNS Codes
This table is used to set the TNS (Transit Network Selection) information element for 4ESS and 5ESS exchanges. It is also used to set fields in the NSF information element. These are prefixes for alternative long distance carriers. When a number dialed matches an entry in the table, that pattern is stripped from the number before being sent out. For example, if the pattern 10XXX is added to this tab, when 10288 is dialed, the 10 is removed and 288 is placed in the calls TNS and NSF information fields.
