Parameter |
Description |
Directory number | The directory number (full national telephone number including the leading zero) that an external caller dials to access the MADN. Either type in the number (noting that the directory number must be within the parent Business Group Number Block if you set the Number status to Normal, Ported from, or Non-geographic), or click on the ellipsis symbol at the end of the field to select from the list of numbers not currently in use. If you click on the ellipsis symbol, the dialog box that appears presents sub-ranges from the parent Business Group Number Block. Select the sub-range from which the number should be taken and click on Next. In the next dialog box, select a number and click on OK to accept this number. (If no number is shown, this indicates that there are no free numbers in the range; click on Back and select a different number range.) |
Number status | Select the status of the telephone number to configure for the MADN. Select from the list of values. If you do not select an alternative, Normal will be used by default. The value that you select for this field will affect which other fields are displayed.
Values:
|
Recently moved from old number | Specifies whether this subscriber has recently moved to this directory number from a different number. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Values:
|
Moved from directory number | The old directory number from which this subscriber has moved. This field appears only if Recently moved from old number is set to True. Specify the number as a full national telephone number including the leading zero. |
Connect call after announcement | This field appears only if Number status is set to Recently moved. Specifies whether a caller who calls the old number should be connected to the new number after an announcement. Values:
|
Moved to directory number | The new directory number to which this subscriber has now moved. This field appears only if Number status is set to Recently moved, and is required if Connect call after announcement is set to True. Specify the number as a full national telephone number including the leading zero. |
Ported exchange ID | The ID of the exchange to which calls for this subscriber should be redirected. This is a 5-digit number, allocated by the OFTEL Numbering Unit. When redirecting the call, the MetaSwitch NE identifies the target exchange by adding a 6-digit prefix to the called number; the prefix consists of the digit 5 followed by this exchange ID. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if the Number status field is set to Ported from. |
