Setting a System Number Plan
5-6 AltiContact Manager Administration Manual
Default
Password The default password for newly created extensions will be
randomly set; when changing the password, it must be four
to eight digits in length.
DID Number
Length The number of digits needed to match a DID (Direct Inward
Dialing) number, with a range of 2 - 16.
Each extension can be assigned a DID number. A DID
number does not have a fixed length. For example, the DID
number length is 4; the extension DID number - 2529299.
Depending on the service contract with the Central Office
(CO), the DID trunk can send all 7 digits (2522999) or just
the last 4 digits (2999). If this DID Number Length option
is set to 4, the system always tries to match the last 4 digits
received to the last 4 digits of a DID number, regardless of
what is received.
Note: To accommodate future growth and minimize
disturbance, it is recommended that the length of the DID
numbers assigned to an extension be greater than or equal to
this DID Number Length. However, it is not necessary to
use the DID Number Length when routing via tie trunks.
Dialed Digit
Translator This option enables architecture that intercepts and
manipulates a dialing digit string before it is sent out for
outbound call processing. The feature allows programmers
to write a DLL (Dynamic Library Link) to enable a
customized dialing plan, such as single digit call routing.
To set up a dialed digit translator entry, check the Enable
checkbox and click the Setup key. This opens a First Digit
Translator dialog box or Extension Dialed Digit
Translator.
Note: These two applications do not work simultaneously;
only the selected application will work.
