Configuring the Subscriber Table

4.In the Address Table:

a.If you wish to modify an existing Address Table entry, be sure that entry is selected (and remember, any changes you make to the Address Table effect the Subscriber Table entry currently highlighted in the top portion of the window).

b.In the Index field, enter the index value you wish to assign to the entry you are configuring. Allowable values are 1-5; these values neednot be assigned sequentially.

c.In the Address field, enter the Subscriber ID assigned to the subscriber device you wish to use as a redirect option for the selected subscriber. How these addresses are used is dependent upon the redirect options selected for the Subscriber Table entry you’re modifying. Note that you cannot use wildcards in this field.

d.Click on to create a new entry, or on to edit the entry selected in the Address Table list box. (Note that either adding or modifying an Address Table entry automatically modifies the Subscriber Table entry highlighted in the Subscriber Table list box.)

5.Click on to exit the window.

Deleting Table Entries

You can delete individual entries from any of the three tables in the window; keep in mind, however, that deleting a Routing Table or Address Table entry simply modiÞes the selected Subscriber Table entry; deleting a Subscriber Table entry also deletes all associated Routing Table and Address Table entries by default.

Remember, too, that deleting all Routing Table entries for a Subscriber Table entry invalidates the entry (as no path to the subscriber device is provided); deleting all Address Table entries for a Subscriber Table entry invalidates any enabled redirect options, since no redirect addresses will be deÞned.

To delete an entry from any of the tables:

1.Click to select the entry you wish to delete.

2.Click on . The selected entry will be removed. If you have deleted a Subscriber Table entry, all associated Routing Table and Address Table entries will also be removed.
