Using the Change Extensions Command
If the system fills in the Ending With field and prints “Subscriber Already Exists,” you have specified a range of numbers that includes at least one number that is already assigned. The system will not permit the Change Extensions screen to delete an existing number in the course of adding another. In this case, continue through the lettered steps below:
a.Access CANCEL to exit this screen.
b.Type list address ranges at the command line. Discover from the resulting list where to find extensions within the range you earlier specified to receive the extensions being changed.
c.Having determined in the previous step which machine(s) have the problem extensions assigned, either type list extension if the machine is local, or type list
d.Use this information as a basis to reconsider the target range of numbers. Once you have worked out new number ranges, return to step 1 of this procedure to implement them.
10.Press F3 (Enter) again.
The system fills in the display fields as it works and displays the message Command Successfully Completed when finished. The cursor returns to the command line.
NOTE:
If for some reason you have to press CANCEL during this operation, a certain amount of work will already have been done by the program. Recover as follows:
a.Note the numbers shown in the display fields. They will indicate approximately where the program stopped working.
b.Next, list extensions to find exactly which numbers have been changed and which have not. (Use the print list e command to make a copy on your system printer.)
c.Finally, plan what needs to be done to recover, and use the ch e command to change extension numbers as necessary.
11.Type exit to leave AUDIX Administration.
12.While the local machine is busied out, connect, in turn, to each remote machine with which the local machine is networked. On each remote machine, perform steps 2 through 11 using the name of the original local machine in fields that call for a machine name.
!
CAUTION:
The network ports of the machine on which the local subscriber’s extension length has been changed must remain busied out until the change has been administered on all remote systems.
