Deleting a dial plan extension range

This topic provides information on deleting a dial plan extension range from a remote machine.

Warning! You cannot delete dial plan extension ranges after initial system administration. When subscribers are added to Message Networking, they are associated with the Dial Plan Mapping set up for their remote machine. When you delete a dial plan extension range, subscribers continue to be associated with the mapping as it existed when they were initially added to Message Networking, regardless of the deletion. The only way to properly delete an existing dial plan extension range after subscribers have been pulled into the system is to:

• Delete the remote machine (which also deletes subscribers and all Dial Plan Mapping for that machine).
• Add the remote machine back into the system.
• Set up a new dial plan map.
• Perform updates.

The only scenario in which you can safely delete a dial plan extension range is while you are initially administering a new Message Networking system, before subscribers from that remote machine have been pulled into the Message Networking system.

To delete a dial plan extension range from a remote machine:

1. Start at the Administration menu, and select Message Networking Administration > Remote Machine Administration > Dial Plan Mapping.
   The system displays the Dial Plan Mapping page.
2. Select the remote machine for which you want to delete a dial plan extension range from the Remote Machine Name drop-down menu.
   The current Dial Plan Mapping settings for the selected remote machine display.
3. Select the extension that you want to delete in the Mailbox ID table.
4. Click Delete Extension Range.
   You are prompted to confirm that you want to delete the extension range.
5. Click OK.
   The selected extension is deleted.

6. Click Return to Main to return to the Administration menu.
