Individual Line

The Individual Line object defines an end user connected to the NE.

To configure and enable an Individual Line, you need to do the following:

When you first enable the subscriber, most of the subscriber services are disabled by default, except for a small number that can be enabled by default in the global Call Services configuration. You can then activate individual services for this subscriber as required.

Note that the EMS currently includes Tasks to simplify the processes of adding and configuring subscribers. See the MetaSwitch Class 5 Softswitch Tasks Guide for more information.


An Individual Line object can represent a Teen Service line for another Individual Line (the primary line), as identified by the Primary Line Directory Number field. The Individual Line object for the Teen Service line is created automatically when you specify its directory number in the Teen Service object associated with the primary line; you cannot create it directly. The normal way to remove a Teen Service line is to unconfigure it in the primary line's Teen Service child object, not to delete the Individual Line that is a Teen Service line. In some error cases you may need to delete the Individual Line object; you can do this only when its Actual status is Disabled or its Alarm state is Attention Required. Many of the fields in this object do not appear for a Teen Service line, because they apply only to the primary line with which the Teen Service line is associated.

Description
Directory number Create The 10-digit directory number of this subscriber. This is used by the NE to identify a subscriber among all other subscribers. Either type in the number (noting that the directory number must be within an active Number Range if you set the Number status to Normal, Ported from, or Non-geographic), or click on the ellipsis symbol at the end of the field to select from the list of numbers not currently in use. If you click on the ellipsis symbol, the dialog box that appears displays a list of configured Number Ranges. Select the Number Range from which the new subscriber's number should be taken and click on Next. The next dialog box offers 'manual selection' or 'automatic selection'.
  • If you select 'automatic selection', the EMS will assign the subscriber the next free number within this number range.
  • If you select 'manual selection', the following dialog box presents sub-ranges of 100 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.)
If you need to change the subscriber's directory number, you can do this using the Tasks interface; use one of the Configure Individual Line tasks under Update Tasks.
Charge number Change Inactive The 10-digit directory number to which calls are billed, which can be different from the directory number if required. If this field is left blank, calls are billed to the subscriber's directory number. This field does not appear for an Individual Line that is a Teen Service line for another line.
Calling party number Change Inactive 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). This field does not appear for an Individual Line that is a Teen Service line for another line.
Persistent Profile Change This field does not appear for an Individual Line that is a Teen Service Line for another Individual Line (the primary line). The Persistent Profile that is used as a basis for the configuration of this subscriber and the subscriber's call services. The default values for many other fields in the subscriber's configuration are taken from the selected profile. Select from the list of Persistent Profiles that are configured for use by Individual Lines, or select Persistent Profile "None" to use the system defaults instead of using a profile.
In use by Read only Specifies the service, if any, that is using this Individual Line. This is set up in the configuration of the appropriate service. This field will not be visible if it is not being used by a service. Values:
  • Test Calls
    The number is in use for Test Calls (101 or 105).
Customer information Change Inactive A text field that can be used to store information about the Individual Line, for example the address of the customer associated with it. This field is optional; you can supply up to 64 characters of free-form text. The text wraps to the width of the field on screen, or you can use the Enter key to force linebreaks. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters.
Customer information 2 Change A text field that can be used to store additional information about the Individual Line. This field is optional; you can supply up to 32 characters of free-form text. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters.
Customer information 3 Change A text field that can be used to store additional information about the Individual Line. This field is optional; you can supply up to 32 characters of free-form text. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters.
Customer information 4 Change A text field that can be used to store additional information about the Individual Line. This field is optional; you can supply up to 32 characters of free-form text. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters.
Customer information 5 Change A text field that can be used to store additional information about the Individual Line. This field is optional; you can supply up to 32 characters of free-form text. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters.
Customer information 6 Change A text field that can be used to store additional information about the Individual Line. This field is reserved for use by Web Services, so you should not edit it using the EMS. The total contents of all six Customer information fields must not exceed 164 characters.
Subscriber Group Change Inactive The Subscriber Group to which the subscriber belongs. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Select from the list of all configured Subscriber Groups.
Primary Line Directory Number Read only This field appears only if the Individual Line is a Teen Service line for another Individual Line (the primary line). It shows the directory number of the primary line with which this Teen Service line is associated.
Ring Cadence Read only This field appears only if the Individual Line is a Teen Service line for another Individual Line (the primary line). It shows the ring cadence that is used to identify an incoming call to the Teen Service line's directory number; this is specified in the Teen Service child object of the primary line. Values:
  • Long-Long
  • Short-Long-Short
  • Short-Short-Long
Number status Change Inactive Specifies the status of this number. Values:
  • Normal (default)
    Normal number on this exchange.
  • Ported to
    Number from a different exchange that has been ported to this exchange (for use by a subscriber connected to this exchange).
  • Ported from (UK only)
    Number ported from this exchange to a different exchange (for use by a subscriber connected to that exchange).
  • Ported out (North America only)
    Number ported from this exchange to a different exchange (for use by a subscriber connected to that exchange).
  • Reserved - ported in (North America only)
    Number from a different exchange that has been ported to this exchange, but is not yet in use by a subscriber connected to this exchange.
  • Recently moved
    Number that a subscriber has recently stopped using, to change to another exchange or to another number on this exchange. When someone calls this number, the NE plays an announcement about the change.
  • Reserved - old number
    Number that has previously been used and is being kept for a period of time before re-use.
  • Reserved for future use
    Number that has been reserved for future use.
  • Non-geographic
    Non-geographic number owned by the local exchange. This number status is used when there is a requirement to define a subscriber with a non-geographic Directory Number. Calls to this subscriber will only succeed if this switch and adjacent switches are configured to route calls directly to this number without performing AIN non-geographic number lookups.
For a Teen Service line, the only valid values are Normal, Ported to, and Reserved - ported in.
Recently moved from old number Change Inactive Specifies whether this subscriber has recently moved to this directory number from a different number. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Values:
  • True
  • False (default)
Moved from directory number Change Inactive The old directory number from which this subscriber has moved. This field appears only if Recently moved from old number is set to True. Specify the number as a 10-digit directory number.
Connect call after announcement Change Inactive This field appears only if Number status is set to Recently moved. Specifies whether a caller who calls the old number should be connected to the new number after an announcement. Values:
  • True
    The caller hears an announcement about the number change, and is then connected to the new number. The field Moved to directory number must be specified.
  • False (default)
    The caller hears an announcement that the number has changed, but is not automatically connected.
Moved to directory number Change Inactive The new directory number to which this subscriber has now moved. This field appears only if Number status is set to Recently moved, and is required if Connect call after announcement is set to True. Specify the number as a 10-digit directory number.
Ported exchange ID Change Inactive This field appears, and must be supplied, only if the Number status field is set to Ported from. This field is valid only in the UK.
Call Agent signaling type Change Inactive The type of signaling used by this subscriber's telephone to connect to the NE. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Values:
  • Analog line/T1 CAS
  • ISDN PRI
  • SIP
Access Device Create The Access Device that this subscriber uses to connect to the NE. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Click on the ellipsis symbol 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, and then select from the displayed list of Access Devices on the specified gateway.
Access Line number Create The Access Line number on the specified Access Device that this subscriber uses. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. 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, for an IDT Port it is 2048, 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.)
ISDN Interface Change Inactive The ISDN Primary Rate Interface that this subscriber uses to connect to the NE. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if the Call Agent signaling type field is set to ISDN PRI. Select from the displayed list of ISDN Primary Rate Interfaces that have Usage set to Access (trunk PRIs cannot be used for subscriber access).
ISDN default bearer capabilities Change Inactive Bearer capabilities (types of ISDN calls) for which this subscriber is the default subscriber. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if the Call Agent signaling type field is set to ISDN PRI. For each ISDN Primary Rate Interface, only one subscriber can be the default subscriber for each bearer capability. If an incoming ISDN call has no addressing information to identify the subscriber, it is routed to the default subscriber for the appropriate capability. Normally, you will configure one subscriber who is the default subscriber for all capabilities, so the default is all values selected. If you are configuring two or more subscribers on the same ISDN Primary Rate Interface, you will need to change this setting so that only one subscriber is the default for each capability. Select one or more of the following values.
  • Speech or 3.1kHz audio
  • 64kbps data
  • 64kbps restricted
  • 56kbps data
Deliver ISDN User Provided Number on emergency call Change Inactive Specifies whether to use an ISDN User Provided Number or the subscriber's directory number when connecting an emergency call. This field appears only if the Call Agent signaling type field is set to ISDN PRI. Values:
  • True (default)
    If an ISDN User Provided Number is available, send this as the calling number when connecting the call.
  • False
    Remove the ISDN User Provided Number and send the subscriber's directory number instead.
Use DN for identification Change Inactive Specifies whether the subscriber registers using their directory number instead of a textual user name. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. If this field is set to True, the SIP user name field will be hidden. If you change the value of this field and SIP authentication required is True, you must reenter the value in the New SIP password and Confirm new SIP password fields. Values:
  • True
  • False (default)
SIP user name Change Inactive The SIP subscriber's user name. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic, and the Use DN for identification field is set to False. Set this field to the user part of the SIP URI, not including the prefix or domain name. This is a string of 1 - 32 characters, which must not match any other SIP user name with the same domain name; the first character must be a letter (either uppercase or lowercase).
SIP domain name Change Inactive The SIP subscriber's domain name. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Set this field to match the domain name configured on the SIP device; typically this is a DNS hostname that resolves to the MetaSwitch NE's virtual IP address, or the IP address of a Session Border Controller through which the device accesses the NE.
Use static NAT mapping Change Inactive Specifies whether the NE should perform Network Address Translation on the contents of messages sent to this subscriber. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Values:
  • True
    Select this value if the subscriber is on a separate IP network from the NE and there is no Session Border Controller to provide the translation.
  • False
    Select this value if the subscriber is on the same IP network as the NE, or if they are on separate networks and there is a Session Border Controller associated with the firewall between the networks.
SIP registration status Read only Specifies whether this subscriber is currently registered with the NE using a Registered SIP Binding and can make SIP phone calls. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. (The Registered SIP Binding appears in the EMS as an associated object below this subscriber.) Values:
  • Registered
  • Not registered
SIP authentication required Change Inactive Specifies whether this subscriber uses SIP authentication (and must supply authentication parameters in SIP signaling messages). This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Values:
  • True (default)
  • False
If you enable SIP authentication for an existing subscriber, you must also specify the SIP user's password in the New SIP password and Confirm new SIP password fields. Either ask for the user's preferred password, or specify a new password and provide it to the user for future use.
New SIP password Change Inactive The password that this subscriber uses with his or her SIP phone to register. The password is not displayed in the EMS and you cannot view it, although you can change it to a new value if necessary. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Specify a text string of 6 - 15 characters. If you use the Refresh pushbutton to refresh the object's status, any characters you have typed will be discarded without changing the password.
Confirm new SIP password Change Inactive This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. To confirm that you have typed the new password correctly, type it again in this field. The characters you type must exactly match the characters you typed in the New SIP password field. If you use the Refresh pushbutton to refresh the object's status, any characters you have typed will be discarded without changing the password.
Preferred location of Trunk Gateway Change Inactive This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP. Specifies the location for Trunk / Access Gateways that should be used to route calls for this object where possible (to reduce unnecessary long-distance traffic when a call can be routed locally). Select from the displayed list of available Location objects or None (no location). The value defaults to None.
Maximum call appearances Change Inactive The maximum number of simultaneous call branches in which the subscriber can participate. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP. Choose Use default or specify a value. When the subscriber's SIP phone registers with the NE, creating a Registered SIP Binding object, this value determines the number of SIP Call Appearance child objects of the Registered SIP Binding.
Maximum permitted contact refresh interval Change Inactive The maximum time for which a SIP registration from this subscriber remains valid. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if Call Agent signaling type is set to SIP. Choose Use default or specify a value. This time corresponds to the Expires header on the SIP request; the SIP phone will be disconnected if the user does not re-register within this time. The SIP phone may specify a shorter interval when registering, but if it specifies a longer interval or does not specify one, the value in this field is used in the SIP response. If the SIP phone specifies an interval lower than 3600 seconds (1 hour), this field must be set to the exact value specified by the SIP phone; otherwise the registration attempt is rejected and the SIP phone is disconnected.
Signal function code Change Inactive The subscriber's signal function code which is used for CAS signaling. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Values:
  • Loop start (default)
  • Ground start
  • E and M wink start
  • E and M wink start (Originating), delay start (Terminating)
  • E and M wink start (Originating only)
  • E and M immediate start (Originating only) (not valid for GR-303)
  • E and M wink start (Terminating only)
  • E and M delay start (Terminating only)
  • LRB wink start
    The abbreviation LRB indicates Loop Reverse Battery.
  • LRB wink start (Originating only)
  • LRB wink start (Terminating only)
  • Reversed LRB wink start (Originating only)
  • LRB delay start (Terminating only)
  • LRB wink start (Originating), delay start (Terminating)
If the Individual Line uses Off-Premises Extension Service or Teen Service, the only valid values are Loop start and Ground start. If the Individual Line uses an Access Device on a Subscriber Gateway that is controlled using MGCP (as specified in its Remote Media Gateway Model), the values Loop start and Ground start are equivalent. All of the E & M and LRB values are also equivalent, except that the Originating only and Terminating only values mean that the line can be used only for outgoing calls or only for incoming calls.
Line usage Change Inactive Specifies whether the subscriber intends to use this line for voice and/or fax, or exclusively for fax. This controls the use of compression on the line. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Values:
  • Voice and fax (default)
    The line normally uses 32kbps ADPCM compression (G.726), which is appropriate for voice lines, but switches automatically to uncompressed 64kbps PCM (G.711) if it detects a fax or modem tone.
  • Fax only
    The line uses uncompressed 64kbps PCM (G.711).
Nailed-up connection Change Inactive This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS and the configured Access Device uses a GR-303 IDT. An IDT may be set up so that there are more subscribers than available DS0s within the IDT's Interface Group, so it is possible that a subscriber will be unable to make a call if other subscribers are already using all of the DS0s. Nailing up the connection for a specific subscriber gives priority by ensuring that a DS0 is always reserved for this subscriber's use (except when the configuration prevents the subscriber from making or receiving calls, or when there is a shortage of DS0s because of a failure). In order for this to work, the number of subscribers with nailed-up connections must be smaller than the number of DS0s available in the Interface Group. Values:
  • True
    A DS0 will be reserved for this subscriber if there is one available.
  • False (default)
    The subscriber may sometimes be unable to make a call during busy periods when other subscribers are using all of the available DS0s.
GR-303 dial type Change Inactive This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS, Signal function code is set to Loop start or Ground start, and the configured Access Device uses a GR-303 IDT. Choose whether the subscriber line supports DTMF dialing in addition to pulse dialing. Values:
  • DTMF or Pulse Dial (default)
  • Pulse Dial only
FSK format Change Inactive The type of FSK tones used to pass Caller ID and Visual Message Waiting Indicator messages to this subscriber. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic, and does not appear if the subscriber uses an access device on a Subscriber Gateway. Values:
  • UK
    Standard UK format
  • Bellcore
    Standard North American format
Long distance carrier Change 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 Change 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 Change 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.
PIN Change The personal identification number (PIN) that this subscriber should use to access services related to their phone line. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. You must specify a valid PIN before the subscriber can access any services that require a PIN. Specify a 4-digit number.
Locale Change The language variant used for voice announcements played to this subscriber. Values:
  • English (US)
  • English (UK)
  • English (Canadian)
  • User Defined 1
  • User Defined 2
Billing type Change The type of billing used for calls within this subscriber's local area. Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • Flat rate
    The subscriber pays a fixed fee that covers all local calls.
  • Message rate
    The subscriber is billed for each call.
  • FX rate
    The line is served by an exchange in a different location from the subscriber (a foreign exchange). A Message Billing Index (MBI) is recorded for each call, and can be used to provide detailed control over billing.
Number Validation and routing attributes Change 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 the following value:
  • Pre-paid / calling card subscriber
    The subscriber uses a pre-paid or calling card service. The NE must check with an external pre-paid billing platform before routing the call, to ensure that the subscriber is permitted to make this type of call (local, long-distance, international etc.)
Deny all usage sensitive features Change Specifies whether the subscriber is prevented from using any call services that are configured with usage sensitive billing. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • True
    The subscriber is not permitted to use any call service that is configured with usage sensitive billing; this may be configured explicitly in the subscriber configuration or by default from a Persistent Profile or the global setting.
  • False
    The subscriber can use all call services that are configured, regardless of the billing type.
Line side answer supervision supported Change Inactive Specifies whether Line Side Answer Supervision is supported for this subscriber. This field appears only if Call Agent signaling type is set to Analog line/T1 CAS and Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Values:
  • True
  • False (default)
Service suspended Change 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. For an Individual Line with Teen Service enabled, this field controls service on all of the Teen Service lines as well as the primary line. It is not possible to suspend service on a Teen Service line separately from the primary line. Values:
  • None (default)
    Service is not suspended: the customer can make and receive calls as normal.
  • Incoming calls
    The subscriber is prevented from receiving incoming calls, except that he or she can still receive calls from the operator.
  • Outgoing calls
    The subscriber is prevented from making calls, except that he or she can still make calls to emergency services or to the operator.
  • Incoming and outgoing calls
    The subscriber is prevented from making or receiving any calls, except for emergency and operator calls.
Force LNP lookup Change 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.
  • Set force LNP lookup flag on original subscriber record
  • Create new subscriber record on recipient switch, also setting force LNP lookup flag
  • Update LNP database at time when line is to be moved.
  • Clear force LNP lookup flag on new subscriber record.
  • Delete old subscriber record or mark it as "Reserved, ported out" as required.
This field is valid only when Number Status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • True
  • False

  • WET (-1)
  • GMT-2 (-2)
  • GMT-3 (-3)
  • AST (-4)
  • EST (-5)
  • CST (-6)
  • MST (-7)
  • PST (-8)
  • ALST (-9)
  • HST (-10)
  • SST (-11)
Adjust for Daylight Savings Change This field appears only if Timezone is not set to Unknown. This specifies whether the time for this line should be automatically adjusted for daylight savings time. This moves the subscriber's time forward one hour at 2am (local time) on the first Sunday in April, and back one hour at 2am (local time) on the last Sunday in October. Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • True
  • False
If Timezone is set to Unknown (so this field is hidden), this field is treated as being set to False.
Line Traffic Study Change Specifies whether this line should have statistics for line traffic usage recorded. Values:
  • True
  • False (default)
Note that if the maximum allowed number of currently active studies has been met, setting this field to True will be rejected when you apply the change. This field is not available to Teen Service Lines.
Enabled date Read only The date and time at which this object was enabled in the EMS.
Line Class Code 1 Change A code used as a match attribute in number validation and/or routing to provide additional options for routing calls originating from this subscriber. Choose Use default or specify any integer value in the range 0 - 2147483646. If you need to perform specific routing for this subscriber's calls, set this code to a value used as a match value for Line Class Code 1 in the appropriate Number Validation Entry or Routing Action.
Line Class Code 2 Change A code used as a match attribute in number validation and/or routing to provide additional options for routing calls originating from this subscriber.
