Technician Created Dialing Translation Table
In some instances the Dialing Translation Table can be very large and essentially
the same for all Norstar Voice Mail systems in the same calling area. A Dialing
Translation Table can be easily created using a basic text editor program on your
PC. After the ASCII file has been created and saved to a floppy disk, the technician
can then load it onto the Norstar Voice Mail system. The disk can then be kept and
used to install the Dialing Translation Table on other Norstar Voice Mail systems
in the same calling area.
Creating the Dialing Translation Table file
The Technician Created Dialing Translation Table must conform to the following
rules:
1. Only one Dialing Translation Table entry per line. A Dialing Translation
Table entry consists of one Input value and one Output value.
2. No blank lines in the Dialing Translation Table.
3. The Input value is entered first, followed by the Output value. The Input value
must be separated from the Output value by one or more spaces. A tab can be
used in place of a space.
4. A null Input value must be represented by a single hyphen ( - ) .
5. A null Output value must be represented by a single hyphen ( - ) .
6. An Output value of a restricted DN must be represented by a ( # ) .
7. No extra characters can be added to either the Input or the Output value. In
particular, no * should be added after the Input or Output value. After the
Dialing Translation Table has been loaded on the system, the * is added
automatically after each Input and Output value.
8. Each Input entry must be in ascending numerical order, but longer strings
must appear before shorter more generic sub-strings. All null Input values
( - ) must appear at the end of the Dialing Translation Table. Refer to the table
"Sample Dialing Translation Table" on page 58 for examples of how to set up
the Dialing Translation Table.
9. The Dialing Translation Table must be saved as: dial.20.
Note: The above rules must be followed to ensure the Dialing Translation Table
will function properly.
