Assigning the DID Numbers

Use the add station XXXX command to assign the DID numbers. Use a block of unassigned extensions from the switch numbering plan. The DID numbers must match the DID numbers assigned by the customer’s telephone company. To maintain consistency, the extension length on the switch must match the extension length of the DID numbers assigned by the telephone company.

The quantity and management of DID numbers assigned is up to the customer. The customer may want to limit the quantity of DID numbers assigned, or have the ability to give out a DID number to every guest. If the customer wants to use both automatic and custom selection of DID numbers, they must have one set of automatic DID numbers and another set of custom DID numbers. When assigning the DID numbers, do not use a COS that has the Client Room feature enabled. This prevents someone from accidentally checking in or checking out a DID telephone number.

The following examples show and XDID and XDIDVIP station assignment.

add station 6224		Page	1 of 1
	STATION
Extension: 6224			BCC:	0
Type: xdidvip			TN:	1
	Coverage Path 1: 5		COR:	1
Name:	Coverage Path 2:		COS:	10
	Hunt-to Station:

When you first assign the DID numbers, the Hunt-to Station field does not have an assignment (it is a display-only field). When a DID number is assigned to a guest room extension when the guest checks in, that guest room extension is then displayed in the Hunt-to Station field of the assigned DID number. Use the list station type xdid or list station type xdidvip commands to list the DID number assignments.

After you assign one DID number, use the duplicate station XXXX command to create the rest of your DID numbers. Duplication can be used for only one station type at a time (XDID or XIDVIP, but not both at the same time).
