Number Range

The Number Range object is a child of the Number Ranges object.

Each Number Range object defines a range of telephone numbers that are owned by the NE, which it may allocate to new subscribers; typically this corresponds to all the numbers in one area code. There may be more than one Number Range object:

For example, if the NE owns area codes 323 and 325 except that numbers 3253000 - 3254999 are owned by a different exchange, you need to create Number Range objects for the following ranges: 3230000 - 3239999, 3250000 - 3252999, and 3255000 - 3259999.

You must create and enable at least one Number Range object before you can use the NE. To configure and use a Number Range, you need to do the following:


The Reserved Number and Test Calls objects must reference a number that is within a valid Number Range. Before deleting an existing Number Range that contains one or more numbers used as Reserved Numbers, you need to do the following.
  • Ensure that there is another configured Number Range for these objects to reference.
  • Create a new Reserved Number object within the new Number Range for each type of Test Call that is required.
  • Modify the Test Calls object to reference the new Reserved Numbers.
  • Delete the old Reserved Numbers from the old Number Range.

Description
First number Create The lowest valid telephone number in this range. Specify the number as a full national telephone number including the leading zero. Number ranges must not overlap, and a number in one number range cannot be a prefix of another number range. For example, if you reserve the range 2000 - 2099, you cannot then reserve the range 2050 - 2099 (because this overlaps with the existing range) or 20 - 24 (because 20 is a prefix of the existing range).
Last number Change Inactive The highest valid telephone number in this range. Specify the number as a full national telephone number including the leading zero, which must be the same length as the First number in this number range. Number ranges must not overlap, and a number in one number range cannot be a prefix of another number range. For example, if you reserve the range 2000 - 2099, you cannot then reserve the range 2050 - 2099 (because this overlaps with the existing range) or 20 - 24 (because 20 is a prefix of the existing range).
