Configuring the Subscriber Table

Configuring Address Table Entries

If you have selected any redirect parameters for a Subscriber Table entry, you must use the Address Table to designate the alternate subscriber addresses that will be used by the redirect option(s) you have selected (see page 4-4for more information on redirect options). You can designate up to Þve alternate addresses for each subscriber table entry.

Each address table entry requires the following values:

Index

The index value assigned to the address table entry. Some redirect options use this value to determine the order in which alternate addresses are selected. Allowable values are 1 - 5; values need not be assigned sequentially.

Address

Use the address Þeld to enter the Subscriber ID for any alternate subscribers you wish to associate with the selected subscriber table entry. These alternate addresses will be used by any enabled redirect options to determine alternate paths for call requests directed to the selected subscriber. Note that you cannot use wildcard characters in this Þeld.

Adding or Modifying Subscriber Table Entries

To add or modify a subscriber table entry:

1.If you wish to modify an existing entry, be sure that entry is highlighted in the Subscriber Table portion of the window.

Remember, any additions or deletions to the Routing Table or the Address Table actually

TIP modify the selected Subscriber Table entry.

2.In the Subscriber Table portion of the window:

a.Enter the appropriate Subscriber ID value. You can use up to 15 digits, including the question mark (?) and asterisk (*) wildcards. For subscribers using a Public Data Network (PDN), be sure the ID you assign follows the code specifications for that network.

b.In the Algorithm field, select the means by which any alternate routing paths assigned to this subscriber will be selected. (Alternate routing paths are assigned via the Routing Table, as described in step 3.) If you do not wish to employ one of the available algorithms, simply accept the default value and assign only a single routing path.
