Note

From release 21.1 onwards, a new field called Usage has been added to Directory Numbers (DN). This field tracks the type of device which the DN has been assigned to. For example: for Phones, Device Profiles and Remote Destination Profiles the usage is “Device”. For Hunt Groups, the usage is “Hunt_Pilot”, and so on.

The Usage field is automatically populated when the DNs are assigned to and removed from various devices from 21.1 onwards.

In order to populate the Usage field once-off for all existing Directory Number inventory instances, the Audit Number Inventory tool should be run once post-upgrade for each customer.

The tool only needs to be run once when initially upgrading to a 2x.x release from a 18.x or 19.x release. If it was already run when upgrading to 21.1 for example, then it does not need to be run again when upgrading later versions, for example 21.2, 21.3, 22.1, and so on.

Before running the tool:

  • Careful consideration must taken when selecting where the Number Inventory is deployed: Customer or Site - this is usually Dial Plan dependent.

  • Please review the Audit Number Inventory topic in the Core Feature Guide.
