Changing a Block of Extensions (without Extension
Length Change)
Issue 1 June 2000
B-11
If the system fills in the Ending With field and prints “Subscriber
Already Exists,” you have specified a range of numbers that includes
at least one number that is already assigned. The system will not permit
the Change Extensions screen to delete an existing number in the course
of adding another. In this case, continue through the lettered steps below:
a. Access to exit this screen.
b. Type list address ranges at the command line. Discover from the
resulting list where to find extensions within the range you earlier
specified to receive the extensions being changed.
c. Having determined in the previous step which machine(s) have the
problem extensions assigned, either type list extension if the
machine is local, or type list remote-extension <remote machine
name> if the machine is remote.
d. Use this information as a basis to reconsider the target range of
numbers. Once you have worked out new number ranges, return to
step 1 of this procedure to implement them.
9. Press (Enter) again.
The system fills in the display fields as it works and displays the message
Command Successfully Completed when finished. The cursor returns
to the command line.
NOTE:
If for some reason you have to press during this operation, a
certain amount of work will already have been done by the program.
Recover as follows:
a. Note the numbers shown in the display fields. They will indicate
approximately where the program stopped working.
b. Next, list extensions to find exactly which numbers have been
changed and which have not. (Use the print list e command to
make a copy on your system printer.)
c. Finally, plan what needs to be done to recover, and use the ch e
command to change extension numbers as necessary.
10. Continue with “Release the Voice Ports”.
NOTE:
If a remote system is not administered to receive automatic updates,
extension changes will need to be done manually on this system.
