Termination Ranges

23 Termination Ranges

Termination number ranges are set up on the Termination Ranges tab of the ACS Resources screen.

A termination range is a mask used to validate the input of a termination number.

The ACS system administrator must assign termination number ranges for each customer. A customer may use their own termination numbers in their control plans, but they cannot edit the termination ranges that are assigned to them. Only the ACS system administrator can edit termination number ranges.

Tip: It is not necessary to set termination ranges in this screen if the customer is a managed customer (that is, the Adding customers check box on the Customer screen was selected).

Termination ranges can only be added, edited or deleted by the ACS system administrator. When editing a termination number range that is currently being used by a compiled control plan, the control plan will be recompiled and the compiler report will be displayed. There may be several control plans to be compiled, so this process may take some time.

Note: It is not possible to delete a termination range that is currently in use by a customer control plan. Editing a termination range will cause all compiled control plans that use that range to be recompiled.
