Paradyne 6800 manual Site Contact Phone

COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

•If a site name is not found, one will be generated using the significant data from the site contact phone number. If this data is unavailable, the device will be mapped to an unknown site.

Site Contact Phone

•The country code (if present), area code, and local exchange portion of the phone number determine the positioning of the site on the Release 4.2 network map. Standard area codes and local exchange information should therefore be used in all phone numbers. If the area code and/or local exchange information is missing or invalid, the site will be positioned, together with all other such sites, at the ``unnamed'' location. Sites having 800 area codes will also be placed at the unnamed location.

•A leading 1 in the phone number is not necessary and will be ignored.

•The country code for the United States (001) is assumed by default so that U.S. numbers do not need to be specified in international format.

•International phone numbers that were correctly interpreted by the Release 1 network map (i.e., the devices appeared at the correct location) already conform to the required format for Release 4.2 and require no modification.

•In all other cases, format international numbers as follows:

ÐPrecede the entire phone number with a pound sign (#) to identify it as an international number.

ÐFollow this with a contiguous sequence of digits comprised of the international country code and, if it exists, the city code. No non-digits (spaces, hyphens, letters) should appear between the country and city codes. (Refer to the International Dial Codes section of the COMSPHERE

6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide for a list of country and city codes.)

ÐIf additional digits are entered following the country and city code, they must be preceded by a non-digit to delimit them from the above. For example:

The United Kingdom has the country code 44, and Belfast has the city code 232 (country and city codes vary in length). A device located in Belfast could be correctly positioned via any of the following phone numbers:

#44232

#44232-555-1212 (the hyphen is the delimiter)

#44232 555-1212 (the space is the delimiter)

However, the following examples would be incorrect:

#44 232 (city and country codes are not contiguous)

#44-232-555-1212 (same as above)

#44232555-1212 (delimiter is missing after city and country codes)
