Shortcut to programming NPAs in LD 90?

[marcuswelby]

Is there a shortcut in regard to programming NPAs?

I tried the following unsuccessfully:

LD 90
REQ NEW
FEAT NET
TRAN AC1
TYPE NPA

NPA 12

ESN115 - "Too few digits entered"


I then tried:

NPA 120

ESN078 - "First digit or second digit of NPA/NXX is invalid"


I hope I don't have to enter every area code...

Print your NPAs first but also SPN, NXX, HLOC of the AC1
There might have a conflict between somes

dlesap - Currently I have no translations provisioned.

The NTP states that the NPA must be 3-digits and in my second example is not working because the first digit in an NPA cannot be a "1"

My question - is there a shortcut or do I need to program every area code?

Can I set up SPNs, say:

12 - to cover 2xx area codes
13 - to cover 3xx area codes
14 - to cover 4xx area codes
.
.
etc

Maybe one of the guys that use Procom has a script for this, but I would not advise adding blanket NPA's, as there are several known NPA's that have been traced back to fraudulant activity (Freaking etc)

spn bars slows down the switch to a point that it's almost as bad as a cell phone (or worse a cisco).. here's a shortcut i use to enter all the npa's you'll ever need.. then i delete the dozen or so i don't want..

proc main
    integer iCount
    string sCount

    for iCount = 1200 upto 1999
    waitfor "NPA  "
    itoa iCount sCount
    transmit sCount
    call stepto
    endfor
    transmit "End^M"

endproc 

proc stepto
  beep
  set txpace 40
  endproc
