Enter the following information.


Parameter

Description
Configured SIP Binding This field appears only if the Call Agent signaling type field on the PBX object is set to SIP. Specifies the configured SIP binding that this PBX Line uses to connect to the NE. To specify a configured SIP binding, click on the search button at the end of the field to select from a list of configured SIP bindings for which the Usage field is set to Subscriber. As a short-cut to select the Configured SIP Binding, you can type match details into the field and click on the search button to select from a list of items that match these details. Match details can be a text string, a wildcard string such as B*, or a range such as CA-FL.
Gateway The Trunk / Access Gateway or Subscriber Gateway that owns the Access Device that this line uses to connect to the NE. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS. Click on the search button at the end of the field to choose from access devices on Trunk / Access Gateways or access devices on Subscriber Gateways. Then select from the displayed list of gateways of the specified type. As a short-cut to select the gateway, you can type match details into the field and click on the search button to select from a list of items that match these details. Match details can be a text string, a wildcard string such as B*, or a range such as CA-FL. If the task you are using has already added access hardware and is now adding a new subscriber to use this hardware, this field is read-only.
Access Device The Access Device that this line uses to connect to the NE. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS. Click on the search button at the end of the field to choose from Access Devices on the gateway specified in the Gateway field. If the gateway contains only one Access Device, this device is selected automatically and there is no need to change it. As a short-cut to select the Access Device, you can type match details into the field and click on the search button to select from a list of items that match these details. Match details can be a text string, a wildcard string such as B*, or a range such as CA-FL. If the task you are using has already added access hardware and is now adding a new subscriber to use this hardware, this field is read-only.
Access Line number This field appears only if the Number status field on the PBX object is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic and the Call Agent signaling type field on the PBX object is set to Analog line/T1 CAS. The Access Line number on the specified Access Device that this line uses. Either type in the number (which must not match the access line number used by any other subscriber on this access device), or click on the ellipsis symbol at the end of the field to select from the list of numbers not currently in use. The highest line number that you can specify depends on the access device type: for an IAD it is the number of voice ports configured, and for other devices it is a configured parameter on the access device. If you click on the ellipsis symbol, the dialog box that appears offers 'manual selection' or 'automatic selection'.
  • If you select 'automatic selection', the EMS will assign the subscriber the next free access line number for this device.
  • If you select 'manual selection', the following dialog box presents sub-ranges of access line numbers. 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.)
