Excluded Range

The Excluded Range object is a child of the Business Group Excluded Number Ranges object.

Each Excluded Range describes a range of directory numbers within the grandparent Business Group Number Block that have been reserved for use by other subscribers and are not available for use by Business Group Lines or MADNs in this Business Group. Business Group Excluded Number Ranges are typically used to reclaim unused numbers within a Business Group Number Block so that they can be used by other subscribers.


You cannot create an Excluded Range that includes one or more directory numbers to which Business Group Lines or MADNs have already been allocated. You will need to delete these Business Group Lines or MADNs before you can create the range. Similarly, you cannot delete an Excluded Range if one or more directory numbers in the range are in use by other subscribers, or reduce the size of the range so that one or more numbers in use by other subscribers are no longer part of the range. You will need to delete the other subscribers before you can delete the range or reduce its size.
