## Fictive Number

## Definition

A fictive number is a directory number that is not connected to a hardware position.

## Use

Fictive numbers are used when it is desired to direct calls to a directory number that is not connected to a hardware position.

Example of use:

For the common call pick-up function the calls are directed to and queued at the fictive number.

Members of the group have assigned the supervision function for the fictive number and can pick up calls from it.

It is possible to set direct diversion onto a fictive number – see also Diversion Direct (165/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

This is especially useful, when it is required to handover the name assignment of the fictive number to the diversion address

Example:

One answering position for several companies.

## Operation

See also Call Pick-Up – Common (142/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

## Capacity

It is possible to define 1000 fictive numbers, which can be splitted up into a 16 number series as a maximum.

## Limitations

- It is not possible to make a call to a fictive number via a programmed supervision key.
- Name strings within the telephone directory cannot be provided for all fictive numbers, because of the limited storage capacity of the internal directory book – see also Telephone Directory (481/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).
- Following directory numbers will not be supported as diversion address:

- S-bus terminals, because they are dedicated as trunk individuals.
- Individual mailbox
- Common abbreviated numbers
- Route numbers
- Trunklines

## Equipment

The following features for the fictive number facility are affected by the FECU:

- usage of more than 16 fictive numbers; without FECU the rest of the fictive numbers are handled as blocked directory numbers and any access to such a number shall result in a FECU warning;
- direct diversion from fictive numbers; without FECU no diversion is executed and a FECU warning is generated,
- CTI monitoring
