The Number Range object is a child of the Number Ranges object.
Each Number Range object defines a range of telephone numbers that are owned by the NE, which it may allocate to new subscribers; typically this corresponds to all the numbers in one area code. There may be more than one Number Range object:
For example, if the NE owns area codes 323 and 325 except that numbers 3253000 - 3254999 are owned by a different exchange, you need to create Number Range objects for the following ranges: 3230000 - 3239999, 3250000 - 3252999, and 3255000 - 3259999.
You must create and enable at least one Number Range object before you can use the NE. To configure and use a Number Range, you need to do the following:

The Reserved Number and Test Calls objects must reference a number that is within a valid Number Range. Before deleting an existing Number Range that contains one or more numbers used as Reserved Numbers, you need to do the following.

Description |
First number | Create | The lowest valid telephone number in this range. Specify the number as a full national telephone number including the leading zero. Number ranges must not overlap, and a number in one number range cannot be a prefix of another number range. For example, if you reserve the range 2000 - 2099, you cannot then reserve the range 2050 - 2099 (because this overlaps with the existing range) or 20 - 24 (because 20 is a prefix of the existing range). |
Last number | Change Inactive | The highest valid telephone number in this range. Specify the number as a full national telephone number including the leading zero, which must be the same length as the First number in this number range. Number ranges must not overlap, and a number in one number range cannot be a prefix of another number range. For example, if you reserve the range 2000 - 2099, you cannot then reserve the range 2050 - 2099 (because this overlaps with the existing range) or 20 - 24 (because 20 is a prefix of the existing range). |
