Associate Pilot Number to a Site
--------------------------------

**Prerequisites**

* To associate a Voice Mail Pilot number with a site, the Pilot Number must be
  created before starting this procedure. See Define a Voice Mail Pilot Number.

.. note::

   In VOSS Automate, the event related to SIP Local Gateway may be generated as a
   result. Also you can select an E164 number to associate with the Pilot Number.



**Perform these steps**:

1. Log in as a Customer or Provider administrator.
2. Set the hierarchy path to the desired Site.
3. Choose **Services > Voice Mail > Associate Pilot Number to Site**.
4. Click **Add** to associate a Voice Mail Pilot Number with a site.
5. From the **Voice Mail Service** drop-down, choose the mandatory name of the
   Voice Mail Service.
6. From the **Voice Mail Service Pilot Number** drop-down, choose the mandatory
   Pilot Number for the selected Voice Mail Service.
7. From the **E164 Number** drop-down, optionally choose a E164 number from your
   site's inventory to associate with the Pilot Number, or type the E164 number
   you want to use.
8. Click **Save** to associate the Voice Mail Service Pilot Number with the site.
    
   * The association appears in the list. When a Pilot Number is associated to a
     site, the **Site Management > Defaults > CUC Defaults** are updated so that
     the subscriber management templates can take advantage of this new Voice Mail
     Service for the site.
   * If the site has one or more SIP Local Gateways associated with it and an
     E164 Number has been specified, the HcsSipLocalGwAddVoiceMailPilotNumberEVT
     is generated. If enabled, the IOS Command Builder generates the default IOS
     commands associated with the event for each SIP Local Gateway.
