The Digit Map object is a child of the Digit Maps object.
Each Digit Map object defines the valid digit sequences for a specific dial plan. A digit map consists of multiple digit map sections in which the digit sequences are defined. A Digit Map cannot be enabled until at least one child Digit Map Section is enabled.
The Subscriber Group object specifies which Digit Map is used for calls made by subscribers within that group.

You cannot create or modify a Digit Map or perform any actions on it while its parent Config Set is active. |
Parameter |
Access |
Description |
Digit Map name | Change Inactive | Unique user-friendly name identifying the Digit Map. Digit Maps must begin with an alphabetic character (in upper or lower case) and can contain only alphabetic, numeric or underscore characters. Specify a name of up to 64 characters. |
Description | Change Inactive | A text string used in the EMS System Explorer to identify this Digit Map. Specify a string of up to 64 characters. |
Number of references from Subscriber Groups | Read only | The number of Subscriber Group objects that refer to this Digit Map. This field appears only when this Digit Map is a child of the active Config Set. |
Critical timer value | Change | This parameter applies only to Media Gateways controlled using Megaco, and not to third-party gateways controlled using MGCP. Length of the critical interdigit timer. When the dialed digit sequence so far results in a match in the digit map but could also be the prefix of another matching sequence (for example if the dialed string is 123 and both 123 and 12345 are valid matches), this timer is used to distinguish between the two. If no further digits are dialed within this time, the shorter string is matched. Range: 0 - 99 seconds. The value must be less than Partial timer value if both are non-zero. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the Media Gateway's default timer value should be used; for a MetaSwitch Media Gateway this is 4s. |
Partial timer value | Change | This parameter applies only to Media Gateways controlled using Megaco, and not to third-party gateways controlled using MGCP. Length of the partial interdigit timer. When the dialed digit sequence so far does not result in a match in the digit map but could be the prefix of another matching sequence (for example if the dialed string is 123 and 12345 is a valid match), this timer is used to wait for further digits. If no further digits are dialed within this time, the sequence is considered a mismatch. Range: 0 - 99 seconds. The value must be greater than Critical timer value if both are non-zero. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the Media Gateway's default timer value should be used; for a MetaSwitch Media Gateway this is 16s. |
Export - number of objects exported | Read only | The total number of objects (including child objects) written to the export file so far in the current or most recent export operation. |
Export - status | Read only | The status of the current or most recent export operation, if any. Values:
|
Export - file | Change | The name of the text file (in the EMS User's home directory on the EMS Server) to which configuration information for this object will be exported. The maximum length of the filename is 32 characters. |
Export - log correlator | Read only | If the export status is Failed, this field contains a correlator for the log message that contains details of the failure. Click on the 'go to log' button next to this field to jump to this message in the EMS log viewer window. |
Export - correlator metaswitch | Read only | If the export status is Failed, this field contains the name of the EMS Server or MetaSwitch Network Element that generated the failure log. You may need this information to find the log in the EMS log viewer window. |
Requested status | Read only | Specifies whether an administrator has attempted to activate the Digit Map. Values:
|
Actual status | Read only | Specifies the current status of the Digit Map object. Values:
