The LNP Cache Entry object is a child of the Global Intelligent Networking Services object.
This object is used to hold a temporary copy of an LNP cache entry so that you can view or delete it within the EMS interface. It is created when you use the Manage LNP cache action button on the parent Global Intelligent Networking Services object, and is deleted when you complete the requested action and move away from it to any other object in the EMS tree view.
The LNP Cache Entry is created with only one field visible: the directory number. The remaining fields appear only when you have supplied a directory number and successfully queried the cache entry for this number.

After you have used the pushbuttons to query or delete a cache entry, you can then use the Reset pushbutton and type in another directory number in order to access another cache entry. There is no need to return to the parent Global Intelligent Networking Services object to create another LNP Cache Entry object. When you complete the requested action and return to the parent Global Intelligent Networking Services object, or move to any other EMS object, the LNP Cache Entry object disappears. This is because it is a temporary object used to display the cache entry details; the EMS Server does not store these details. |
