This step is mandatory.
Enter the following information.
Parameter |
Description |
Calling number screening | This field is visible only if Call Agent signaling type is set to ISDN PRI or SIP. Specifies whether the calling number provided by the PBX on outgoing calls is used as the calling party number and/or charge number. This field does not apply if both the Calling party number and Charge number fields are specified; the configured numbers always take precedence.
Choose Use default or specify a value:
|
Maximum call appearances | The maximum number of simultaneous call branches in which the PBX can participate. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic and Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP. |
Number Validation and routing attributes | Attributes used to determine how a call made by the subscriber is routed to the network. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic.
Choose Use default or, if required, select one or more of the following values:
|
Service suspended | Specifies whether service for this subscriber is currently suspended (the subscriber is prevented from making or receiving calls). This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Values:
|
Force LNP lookup | This field is used to force an LNP lookup for a particular subscriber. This is typically only used when a ported subscriber is moving. During the period where the subscriber number is configured as active on two switches, the number portability database is the definitive reference for which number is active.
The typical sequence used for porting a subscriber is as follows.
|
Line Traffic Study | Specifies whether this line should have statistics for line traffic usage recorded. Values:
|
Line Class Code 1 - 20 | This field appears once for each Line Class Code that you have configured below the Trunk Routing and Policy Services object. The field name for each code appears as LCC n - description (showing the index value in the range 1-20 and the configured description, if any). A Line Class Code is used as a match attribute in number validation and/or routing to provide additional options for routing calls originating from this subscriber. If you need to perform specific routing for this subscriber's calls, set this field to a value used as a match value for the Line Class Code in the appropriate Number Validation Entry or Routing Action. Specify the Line Class Code as an integer value in the range 0 - 2147483646. Alternatively, if one or more valid values have been configured in the Line Class Code object, you can select a specific value from the list of valid values by clicking on the ellipsis symbol at the end of the field. Either scroll down the alphabetic list of code value descriptions to select the value you want, or type the first few letters of the code's description so that the alphabetic list scrolls to select the entry you want. |
Locale | The language variant used for voice announcements played to this subscriber. Values:
|
Long distance carrier | The long distance carrier ID (PIC1) used by default for this subscriber. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Choose Use default or specify the carrier ID as a 4-digit number. |
Local carrier | The local carrier ID (PIC2) used by default for this subscriber. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Choose Use default or specify the carrier ID as a 4-digit number. |
International carrier | The international carrier ID (PIC3) used by default for this subscriber. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Choose Use default or specify the carrier ID as a 4-digit number. |
Calling party number | The 10-digit number, if any, to be sent in signaling messages for this subscriber in place of the subscriber's directory number (for example, if the directory number corresponds to an outgoing-only line and should be replaced by the number of another line that accepts incoming calls). |
Line selection method | This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS. Specifies the order in which the NE allocates lines for incoming calls to the PBX. This should be different from the order used by the PBX itself to allocate lines for outgoing calls, to minimize glare. Values:
|
Dialtone supported (pre-R4.0) | This field has no effect when used on an NE which is running V4.0 or later.
This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS. Specifies the types of line for which the PBX provides dialtone to the caller. If this option is not selected, the MetaSwitch NE provides dialtone on lines of that type. If required, select the following value:
|
Ringback supported (pre-R4.0) | This field has no effect when used on an NE which is running V4.0 or later.
Specifies whether the PBX provides audible ringing tone to the caller. Values:
|
Fix bits | A series of options that control the details of how the MetaSwitch NE interoperates with the PBX. If required, select one or more of the following values:
|
ANI / DNIS format | This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS.
The format of ANI and DNIS digits outpulsed to the PBX, identifying the calling number and/or the PBX Line for which the call is intended. This is a string of the format prefixDNISseparatorANIsuffix or prefixANIseparatorDNISsuffix. The default is *ANI*DNIS*.
|
Deliver ISDN User Provided Number on emergency call | This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to ISDN PRI. Specifies whether to use an ISDN User Provided Number or the subscriber's directory number when connecting an emergency call. Values:
|
