Description |
Directory number | The directory number of this subscriber. This is used by the VP3000 to identify a subscriber among all other subscribers. Either type in the number (noting that if you set the Number status to Normal or Ported from the directory number must be within an active Number Range), 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.) |
Signaling number | Depending on your version of MetaSwitch, this field may not be included. 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). |
Number status | Select the status of the telephone number to configure for the subscriber. Select from the list of values. If you do not select an alternative, Normal will be used by default. The value that you select for this field will affect which other fields are displayed.
