The Individual Line objects define each of the end users (typically residential subscribers) connected directly to the NE. Because there may be many hundreds of these objects, the EMS System Explorer groups them all under a single Individual Lines object. This grouping allows you to hide the individual Individual Line objects in the Tree View panel so that you can concentrate on other objects in the tree.
The Individual Lines object does not have any modifiable fields or pushbuttons, and you cannot configure or manage it. It exists simply as a way of grouping the individual Individual Line objects and showing their overall status.
The Individual Lines object is a child of the Subscriber Configuration object.
To view details of individual subscribers, click on the symbol next to the Individual Lines object. Because there will typically be large numbers of subscribers, the EMS System Explorer displays them in groups according to the defined Number Ranges:
To hide individual subscribers, click on the symbol next to the Number Ranges or the Individual Lines object.
To add a new subscriber, first select the Individual Lines object. (You cannot add a subscriber to a specific number range by selecting that number range.) Click on Add Sub-component and choose Individual Line. In the new subscriber object that appears, you can specify a Directory number for the new subscriber. Alternatively, you can add a subscriber using the Add new subscriber Task; see the MetaSwitch Class 5 Softswitch Tasks Guide for details.
