7 Control Plan Change

The Control Plan Change tab allows you:

  • To replace the termination number in the termination node of a control plan

  • For each service number on the ACS Numbers screen, to override the scheduled control plan, with the predefined alternative control plan

    Note: To override a scheduled control plan, the alternative control plan name must follow this syntax:

    <ServiceNumber><alternativeCallPlanNamePostfix>

    For example, if service number 0800123456 uses control plan "ABC", the alternative control plan for this service number must be named 0800123456_alternativeCallPlanNamePostfix.

    Where alternativeCallPlanNamePostfix is the value specified in the alternativeCallPlanNamePostfix parameter of the acs.conf file. For more information, see ACS Technical Guide.
