The Local Area Numbers object is a child of the Local Routing object.
Each Local Area Numbers object contains information about the telephone numbers expected to be present in a local area managed by the MetaSwitch NE. These include numbers that may be ported to or from the local exchange if local number portability is allowed, and ranges of non-geographic numbers where some but not all numbers in the range are owned by the local exchange.
