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 remote-extensions<remote machine name> if the machine is remote.

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.

Release 3 specifications

Lucent Technologies Release 3 was a significant milestone in the evolution of telecommunications. Launched in the late 1990s, it represented a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to improve network performance, reliability, and scalability. Aimed primarily at enhancing communication services, Release 3 showcased advanced technologies and features that reshaped the industry landscape.

One of the standout features of Release 3 was its support for both circuit-switched and packet-switched networks. This dual capability allowed service providers to utilize a single platform to provide a variety of services, including traditional voice services and emerging data applications. The integration of these two technologies led to more efficient use of network resources and improved service quality.

Release 3 also emphasized flexibility and modularity. Its architecture was designed to support a range of hardware and software configurations, enabling telecom operators to customize their deployments according to specific business needs. This modular design allowed for easier upgrades and scaling, which was essential as the demand for bandwidth and services continued to grow.

Another key technology featured in Release 3 was its advanced signaling and control capabilities. By implementing protocols like SS7 and integrating them with IP-based communications, Lucent enabled more efficient call routing and management. This capability was critical for managing increasing traffic loads and offering enhanced features like caller ID, call waiting, and other value-added services that were becoming popular at that time.

In addition, Release 3 introduced improved quality of service (QoS) mechanisms, critical for ensuring that voice and data services could coexist on the same network without degradation. This was especially important as the world began to embrace the Internet, leading to a surge in data-intensive applications that needed reliable delivery.

Security was another focus with Release 3, as telecom operators faced growing concerns about fraud and cyber threats. Enhanced encryption methods and secure access controls were built into the system, providing operators with the tools needed to safeguard their networks and customer data.

Overall, Lucent Technologies Release 3 represented a forward-looking approach to telecommunications, combining innovative technology with the flexibility needed in a rapidly changing industry. It laid the groundwork for future advancements in both voice and data communications, helping operators to adapt to the burgeoning digital landscape. As a result, it played a pivotal role in the transition towards more integrated and efficient telecommunication networks.
