View Directory Number Inventory

Use this procedure to view the range of directory numbers that have been defined for a site.

Note

In VOSS-4-UC, an * can appear before a directory number in a Type 4 dial plan.

Procedure

  1. Log in as provider, reseller, or customer administrator.

  2. Choose an available site from the hierarchy node breadcrumb at the top of the interface.

  3. Choose Dial Plan Management > Number Management > Directory Number Inventory.

    The list of all directory numbers (DNs) configured for the site appears. You can view the list of DN numbers or delete a DN number from this page. To filter the list of directory numbers, click the up arrow beside the title of the Internal Number column. Enter the Search String you want to locate, and all directory numbers that match the search string appear.

    When a DN is first added to the inventory, the Used column is blank, and the Available column shows ‘true.’ The Used column changes to ‘true’ when the DN is put into use when a line is created and associated to a phone or subscriber. The Available column indicates that the DN is used by a device or service that does not allow a shared line (for example, a Hunt Pilot).

    The E164Number column and value on an instance form displays as in the examples below for E164 Associations (N to 1 DN), depending on the number of E164’s being associated and whether a primary E164 is set or not.

    Note that the first example display is also the display for E164 Associations (N to N DN):

    • \+27726043938

      No primary is set. The first number associated is displayed. Only one number is associated.

    • \+27726043938 (P)

      The displayed number is primary. Only one number is associated.

    • \+27726043938 (P) [+8]

      The displayed number is primary. Eight (8) more numbers have been associated in addition to the displayed number.

    • \+27726043938 [+8]

      No primary is set. The first number associated is displayed. Eight (8) more numbers have been associated in addition to the displayed number.

    Directory numbers that begin with a * (asterisk), denote DNs that are used with hunt groups, assistant lines, Contact Center lines, and so on. This type of directory number cannot be reached from an outside line. Typically, a DN with the * prefix is not called from another line (user), but is tied to a service feature such as call pickup, hunt groups, or contact center.

    Note

    Adding a new DN to inventory on VOSS-4-UC does not add a directory number on Cisco Unified Communications Manager until it is associated to a line on VOSS-4-UC.

    The Directory Number Inventory entries appear in other end-user provisioning tasks in VOSS-4-UC as described in the table that follows. For more information on provisioning each of these tasks, refer to the VOSS-4-UC Core Feature Guide.
