Long Distance Service Configuration

The Long Distance Service Configuration object is a child of the Call Agent. It is used to group together the Long Distance Service Class and ANI Screening Table objects and to provide overall configuration and status information for them.


If you disable this object, subscribers may be unable to make long-distance calls. On-switch calling card calls will be rejected, and long-distance account codes will not be collected.

Object-Specific Actions
