How to add prefix (SPN) in Option 11 1

[jstevens]

Greetings,

I need to add a prefix to my Option 11 and have read the faq but not 100% of what I need to put in. Also I am unable to print out my prefix list according to the faq as well.

> LD 90
REQ NEW
CUST 0
FEAT NET
TRAN AC1
TYPE SPN
SPN ? (Do I put the pre I want such as "409")
FLEN RETURN
RLI ? (How do I know what RLI # to enter? I have done a prt on a NPA and got 3?)
SDRR RETURN
ITEI RETURN
SPN ** (To return to root of LD 90)

Just want to be sure that for SPN I stick in 409 or what ever prefix I want to add and RLI of 3.

When I went to print out my prefixes according to the faq I enter in "99" for SPN and I do not get the results I am looking for, aka all my prefixes do not print out. I would also like to print out all the area codes I have entered.

Thankyou
Jason

add a prefix as a nxx, and your on the track, just print a nxx that works today and use the same rli, that sends it over to load 86.. so if you printed another nxx (city code) then use rli 3.. then go to ld 86 and print rlb 3 that will show you the route and frl... the frl sets the rest. level which tells you which ncos on a set is allowed to use that route list index

spn is usually for special numbers 1010288 911 etc...but they will work for an exchange 434 or npa (area code) 1803

Thanks for the reply,

However I do not understand a word of what you just said

I was trying to prt an existing spn but couldnt seem to get it to return the results?

Honestly I do not care how 86 is working although I understand that RLI works in close connection with it, I just want to add the prefix 409 to my system.

I will try and prt an existing spn again to get the appropriate rli.

Otherwise I just need to know if for SPN all I need to enter is the pre I need such as "409" and how to find my rli since printing out all my prefixes does not seem to work as well, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks
Jason

when you are in the prt mode and get to type prompt enter spn than just enter through. all spn's will then be displayed.

to print npa and nxx's it's the same routine but enter npa or nxx instead of spn at the type prompt.

 

[jstevens]

Great,

Yes I just pressed enter and all my SPN's were displayed but again you are right. They are only special prefixes such as 411, 911. When I try to dial a local number in a suposedly new prefix 409 I get a fast busy? I thought I had to add a prefix for it but that doesnt appear to be the case. I do have to add area codes correct?

Is this a phone company issue?

Thanks in advance,
Jason

you may use fcas tables. ld 87 prt at the feat prompt enter fcas and enter through. if table of numbers show up you will need to add the new prefix in the appropriate table ie a table that has a prefix in the same area.

if no fcas tables look at nxx's in ld 90.

23. ADDING A NEW AREA CODE:

With the increase in pagers, cell phones, and the rapid population growth of our fair country, it becomes necessary to create new Area Codes from time to time. A user may inform you they can not connect to a particular number. This may be due to the Area Code not being programmed into the Meridian system. It could also be the Prefix of the phone number if the phone number is within your particular Area Code. We will cover Prefixes in the next chapter.

Our example is as follows. Steven Mallard advises you he is trying to reach (442) 555-1212. You ask Steven if he knows what city and state this Area Code belongs to. Steven informs you the Area Code is Encinitas, California. On your Meridian teleset, you attempt to dial the number. As you get to the last number in the Area Code, you hear a fast busy signal. This indicates to you Area Code 442 is not programmed in the Meridian system.

To program a new Area Code in the Meridian system, you will need to be in LD 90. You will also need to know another Area Code for comparison purposes of the programming. The Area Code should be within the same state as the new one you need to create. So for our example, compare another California Area Code’s programming.

In LD 90, at the REQ prompt, type PRT. At the CUST prompt, type 0. At the FEAT prompt, type NET. This is Meridian’s command for Network Translation Tables. At the TRAN prompt, type AC1. This is Meridian’s command for Access Code 1. At the TYPE prompt, type NPA. This is Meridian’s command for Numbering Plan Area Code Translation Data Block. At the NPA prompt, type 1 and the Area Code you wish to check the programming of. In our example, we will type 1760. Remember that you must put the 1 in front of the Area Code, but do not put a space in between the 1 and the Area Code. Below is an example of what you will see.

The area we are concerned with is the RLI information. In our example, we see the RLI is 2. This is the information we need to program for our new Area Code to route properly.

At the REQ prompt, type NEW. At the CUST prompt, type 0. At the FEAT prompt, type NET. At the TRAN prompt, type AC1. At the TYPE prompt, type NPA. At the NPA prompt, type 1 and the new Area Code. In our example, we will type 1442. At the RLI prompt, type in the RLI from the Area Code we made our comparison. In our example, we will type 2. At the SDRR prompt, hit the Enter key. At the ITEI prompt, hit the Enter key. At the NPA prompt, if you have no more Area Codes to add, hit the Enter key. Below is an example of what you will see.

Congratulations. You just successfully added a new Area Code into the Meridian system. To double-check your work, try dialing the number that was reportedly unreachable, or have the user try it and report back to you. Also, we must add the Area Code into the Aspect system. See Chapter 9 for this.

24. ADDING A NEW PREFIX:

Adding a new Prefix is very similar to adding a new Area Code. A Prefix addition is required when a user is trying to call a number within our own Area Code and gets an error tone or fast busy signal.

With the increase in pagers, cell phones, and the rapid population growth of our fair state, it becomes necessary to create new Prefixes from time to time. A user may inform you they can not connect to a particular number. This may be due to Prefix not being programmed into the Meridian system.

Our example is as follows. Steven Mallard advises you he is trying to reach (702) 215-1234. On your Meridian teleset, you attempt to dial the number. Within the first three numbers dialed, you hear a fast busy signal. This indicates to you the Prefix 215 is not programmed in the Meridian system.

To program a new Prefix in the Meridian system, you will need to be in LD 90. You will also need to know another Prefix for comparison purposes of the programming. The best thing to do is look at your own local Prefix for your switch. In our example, we will use Las Vegas’ Prefix of 360 for comparison.

At the REQ prompt, type PRT. At the CUST prompt, type 0. At the FEAT prompt, type NET. At the TRAN prompt, type AC1. At the TYPE prompt, type NXX. This is Meridian’s command for Central Office Code Translation Data Block. At the NXX prompt, type the Prefix you wish to check the programming of. In our example, we will type 360. Below is an example of what you will see.

Again, we are looking for the RLI number. In our example the RLI is 1. This will be used later in the programming of the new Prefix.

At the REQ prompt, type NEW. At the CUST prompt, type 0. At the FEAT prompt, type NET. At the TRAN prompt, type AC1. At the TYPE prompt, type NXX. At the NXX prompt, type the new Prefix. In our example, we will type 215. At the RLI prompt, type in the RLI from the Area Code we made our comparison. In our example, we will type 1. At the SDRR prompt, hit the Enter key. At the ITEI prompt, hit the Enter key. At the NXX prompt, if you have no more Prefixes to add, hit the Enter key. Below is an example of what you will see.

no not carrier issue normally, ld 90 prt nxx 409...if you don't have one prt one that works then add 409 as a nxx instead of a spn.. in load 90 prt 0 net ac1 npa return return ...you'll see them all...post a few here or just go back through the prompts starting with new and answer the prompts to match a working nxx... if 409 is in a fcas correctly you can dial it...you don't normally need a fcas for a number unless it is a 1 npa nxx that is free if you send it out local.. that may not always be true depending on your carrier arrangement
