Changing Dial Plan Mapping

This topic provides information on changing the Dial Plan Mapping for a remote machine. You can change the extension ranges that are mapped or the network addresses to which the extensions are mapped.

Warning! You cannot change existing Dial Plan Mapping after initial system administration. When subscribers are added to Message Networking, they are associated with the Dial Plan Mapping for their remote machine. When you change a Dial Plan Mapping, subscribers continue to be associated with the mapping as it existed when they were initially added to Message Networking, regardless of any changes you make. The only way to properly change an existing Dial Plan Mapping 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 change a dial plan map 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 change an extension range of a dial plan map:

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 change the Dial Plan Mapping from the Remote Machine Name drop-down menu.
   The current Dial Plan Mapping settings for the selected remote machine display.
3. Select the extension range that you want to change in the Mailbox ID table, and then click Change Extension Range.
4. You are prompted to confirm that you want to change the extension range.
5. Click OK.
6. Modify the fields on the page to change the extension range.
7. Click Save, and then click Back to return to the Dial Plan Mapping page.
