Use this page to administer Telephone Numbers for subscribers residing on remote machines in the network. These Telephone Numbers are used by Modular Messaging systems to identify callers as subscribers within the messaging network. For example, when a Modular Messaging subscriber receives a call-answer message, the Modular Messaging system attempts to match the sender's calling party number (CPN) to a local subscriber (via their PBX Extension) or remote subscriber (via their Telephone Number) in the database. If a match is found, the caller is identified as a system subscriber, and the local subscriber is given the option to call the sender.
When you administer Telephone Number Mapping, the Message Networking system attempts to match a digit string (the Map From field below) to the beginning of a specified base address. If a match is found, the matching digits are replaced by the series of digits you specify (the Map To field below). If multiple Map To entries match a base address, the entry that matches the greatest number of digits is used.
The resulting Telephone Numbers must be no more than 30 digits in length and must be unique on the system. If a resulting Telephone Number matches an existing number, the new Telephone Number is set to null and an entry is added to the Administrator's log. If the resulting number is greater than 30 digits in length, an entry is added to the Administrator's log and the number is set to null.
Note: You can also administer telephone numbers
for individual subscribers by modifying the Telephone Number field
on the Subscriber Parameters Administration
page.
This page contains the following fields.
Remote Machine Name: Select
the remote machine for which you want to view or administer Telephone Number Mapping. When you select the remote machine, any existing mapping for that remote machine displays.
Telephone Number Initialization
Type: This field indicates the base number
used in the Telephone Number Mapping. The base address can be:
When you create the first mapping for this remote machine, you must specify the initialization type. The same initialization type is used for all subsequent telephone number mappings you create for this remote machine.
The table beneath the Telephone Number Initialization Type field displays any existing mapping for the selected remote machine. The table contains the following information:
- Map From: This field displays the digit string that
is compared against the subscribers' base addresses. A match occurs when
the value in the Map From value is the same as the beginning portion
of the base address. When a match occurs, the portion of the base
address that matches the Map From digits is stripped, and the Map
To field value is prepended to the base address to create the telephone number. Leave this field blank to add the Map To from field digits
to every base address.
- Map To: This field displays the digits that are prepended
to the base address after the digits that match the Map From field
are stripped.
