Specify MADN preferences

This step is mandatory.

Enter the following information.


Parameter

Description
Calling party number The 10-digit number, if any, to be sent in signaling messages for this subscriber in place of the subscriber's directory number (for example, if the directory number corresponds to an outgoing-only line and should be replaced by the number of another line that accepts incoming calls).
Call limit algorithm Specifies how the NE should limit the total number of concurrent incoming calls to the MADN. When this limit is reached, any further incoming call attempts will receive a busy indication. Note that an incoming call to the MADN counts against this limit only if it is connected to a Business Group Line that is a direct child object of the MADN; calls connected to another MADN or MLHG that is a child of the called MADN are not counted. Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • Total calls cannot exceed number of members
    The total number of concurrent incoming calls to the MADN, including both calls connected to Business Group Line MADN members and queued calls, cannot exceed the number of lines configured as MADN Members. Note that some calls may be queued if one or more lines are busy with outgoing calls or direct-dialed incoming calls to a MADN Member.
  • Total calls cannot exceed specified value
    The total number of concurrent incoming calls to the MADN, including both calls connected to Business Group Line MADN members and queued calls, cannot exceed the number specified in the Call limit value field.
  • Queued calls cannot exceed specified value
    The total number of queued incoming calls to the MADN cannot exceed the number specified in the Call limit value field.
Call limit value This field appears only if Call limit algorithm is set to Total calls cannot exceed specified value or Queued calls cannot exceed specified value. Choose Use default or specify the maximum total number of incoming calls (minimum 1) or the maximum number of queued calls (zero indicates that calls will never be queued).
Force LNP lookup This field is used to force an LNP lookup for a particular subscriber. This is typically only used when a ported subscriber is moving. During the period where the subscriber number is configured as active on two switches, the number portability database is the definitive reference for which number is active. The typical sequence used for porting a subscriber is as follows.
  • Set force LNP lookup flag on original subscriber record
  • Create new subscriber record on recipient switch, also setting force LNP lookup flag
  • Update LNP database at time when line is to be moved.
  • Clear force LNP lookup flag on new subscriber record.
  • Delete old subscriber record or mark it as "Reserved, ported out" as required.
This field is valid only when Number Status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • True
  • False
