The Persistent Profile that is used as a basis for the configuration of this subscriber and the subscriber's call services. The default values for many other fields in the subscriber's configuration are taken from the selected profile. Select from the list of Persistent Profiles that are configured for use by Individual Lines, or select Persistent Profile "None" to use the system defaults instead of using a profile.
Directory number selection method This field determines how to allocate directory numbers to the new subscribers. Values:
  • Select consecutive directory numbers
    You specify the first directory number to be allocated; the remaining subscribers will be given consecutive numbers following on from this number.
  • Select numbers in range
    You select a configured Number Range; the subscribers will be allocated numbers from this range.
Select first directory number This field appears only if Directory number selection method is set to Select consecutive directory numbers. Either type in a directory number (full national telephone number including the leading zero) (which must be within one of the Number Ranges configured for this switch), or click on the ellipsis symbol at the end of the field to select from the list of numbers not currently in use. If you are configuring multiple Business Group Lines, the valid numbers are taken from the parent Business Group Number Block. The default is the first free directory number in the parent number block.
Directory number range This field appears only if Directory number selection method is set to Select numbers in range. If you are configuring multiple Business Group Lines, this field shows the range of the parent number block. It is displayed for information only and you cannot change it. Click on the ellipsis symbol at the end of the field to select from the list of Number Ranges configured for this switch.
Presentation number The presentation number of this subscriber (the number that is presented to users; the actual number used on this exchange may be different if the number has been ported). Specify the full national telephone number including the leading zero. This field should be used only if you want to use the same presentation number for all of the subscribers. If each subscriber needs a different presentation number, leave this field blank and then configure it separately for each subscriber.

  • Normal
    Normal number on this exchange.
  • Ported to
    Number from a different exchange that has been ported to this exchange (for use by a subscriber connected to this exchange).
  • Ported from (UK only)
    Number ported from this exchange to a different exchange (for use by a subscriber connected to that exchange).
  • Ported out (North America only)
    Number ported from this exchange to a different exchange (for use by a subscriber connected to that exchange).

    Number from a different exchange that has been ported to this exchange, but is not yet in use by a subscriber connected to this exchange.
  • Recently moved
    Number that a subscriber has recently stopped using, to change to another exchange or to another number on this exchange. When someone calls this number, the NE plays an announcement about the change.
  • Reserved - old number
    Number that has previously been used and is being kept for a period of time before re-use.
  • Reserved for future use
    Number that has been reserved for future use.
  • Non-geographic
    Non-geographic number owned by the local exchange. This number status is used when there is a requirement to define a subscriber with a non-geographic Directory Number. Calls to this subscriber will only succeed if this switch and adjacent switches are configured to route calls directly to this number without performing AIN non-geographic number lookups.
Ported exchange ID The ID of the exchange to which calls for this subscriber should be redirected. This is a 5-digit number, allocated by the OFTEL Numbering Unit. When redirecting the call, the local exchange identifies the target exchange by adding a 6-digit prefix to the called number; the prefix consists of the digit 5 followed by this exchange ID. This field appears, and must be supplied, only if the Number status field is set to Ported from.
Subscriber Group The Subscriber Group to which the subscriber belongs. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Select from the list of all configured Subscriber Groups.

If you are configuring multiple Business Group Lines, you can choose Use default to use the setting from the parent Business Group Number Block.
