## Directory Numbers

## Definition

A directory number is a number that is assigned:

- A line position, that is an extension or a trunk
- A facility group number, ACD-number etc.

Directory numbers can have 1, 2, 3 or 4-digits. Directory numbers can be freely selected as long as they are not incompatible.

## Use

All persons assigned a directory number can be called from extensions in the system.

All directory numbers can be assigned a name.

Calls to internal directory numbers via the public network or private network have the possibility to be translated into DDI numbers by the individual number translation table.

For further information please refer to the document Individual Number Translation on page 1.

See facility description Telephone Directory (481/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

## Operation

See respective facility description (xxx/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

## Capacity

Each facility or hardware unit can be assigned one directory number only.

## Limitations

Directory numbers must not be incompatible, for example, directory numbers 200 and 2000 cannot exist at the same time.

## Programming

On initiation of the system extensions and trunks are assigned directory numbers automatically.

Extensions are assigned numbers from 200 and upwards.

Trunks are assigned numbers from 700 and upwards. All trunks are placed in one route and are assigned directory number 0.

If the system has an OPERATOR, directory number 9 will be assigned as internal call number to the OPERATOR queue.

See respective facility description (xxx/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

Assigned directory numbers can be changed.

### To change directory numbers of extensions

5601 |  | Directory number

Using this command it is possible to allot the required number to an extension's line position.

If this line position already has a directory number it will be overwritten. Command 5902 will read the directory number of a certain line position.

However, references to previous numbers will remain. The references are to be deleted or replaced by the new number.

5602 |  | Alter an extension number

With this command it is possible to change an extension's directory number.

If one wishes to change the number to a new number, that is in conflict with the old number, this cannot be executed directly. In such a case first replace the number with a random free number and then replace this number with the desired number.

5603 |  | Change of line position for extension

Is used when two extensions are to change position and retain their directory numbers as well as all programmed categories and functions. The display shows

Press Enter and enter the extension numbers of the extensions that should be exchanged.

5604 |  | Change of number series for extension

Alter the number series for an extension number. This command is to be used only if you wish to alter the entire existing number series on system start. Use the command in an existing system.

Please enter the lowest extension number of the new number series. The system will then calculate the difference to the existing lowest extension number and, based on this result, will change all the telephone numbers of the number series.

For other directory number changes see the following functions:

- ACD-group
- Background music
- Trunk line
- Fictive number
- PBX-hunting
- Music-on-hold
- Voice message
- Answer group
- Operator
- Route
- Paging
- Common short numbers

Using this group of commands you can read out which directory numbers that are used in the system.
