Enter the following information.
Note that which fields are displayed depends on the value you select for the Number status field.

Description |
Persistent Profile | 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. |
Directory number | The directory number (full national telephone number including the leading zero) of this subscriber. (This is the actual number used on this exchange; the number that is presented to users may be different if the number has been ported.) 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'.
