If a site name is not found, one will be generated using the significant data
from the site contact phone number. If this data is unavailable, the device will
be mapped to an unknown site.
Site Contact Phone
•
The country code (if present), area code, and local exchange portion of the
phone number determine the positioning of the site on the Release 4.2 network
map. Standard area codes and local exchange information should therefore be
used in all phone numbers. If the area code and/or local exchange information
is missing or invalid, the site will be positioned, together with all other such
sites, at the ‘‘unnamed’’ location. Sites having 800 area codes will also be
placed at the unnamed location.
•
A leading 1 in the phone number is not necessary and will be ignored.
•
The country code for the United States (001) is assumed by default so that U.S.
numbers do not need to be specified in international format.
•
International phone numbers that were correctly interpreted by the Release 1
network map (i.e., the devices appeared at the correct location) already
conform to the required format for Release 4.2 and require no modification.
•
In all other cases, format international numbers as follows:
— Precede the entire phone number with a pound sign (#) to identify it as an
international number.
— Follow this with a contiguous sequence of digits comprised of the
international country code and, if it exists, the city code. No non-digits
(spaces, hyphens, letters) should appear between the country and city codes.
(Refer to the International Dial Codes section of the COMSPHERE
6800 Series Network Management System User’s/System Administrator’s
Guide for a list of country and city codes.)
— If additional digits are entered following the country and city code, they
must be preceded by a non-digit to delimit them from the above. For
example:
The United Kingdom has the country code 44, and Belfast has the city
code 232 (country and city codes vary in length). A device located in
Belfast could be correctly positioned via any of the following phone
numbers:
#44232
#44232-555-1212 (the hyphen is the delimiter)
#44232 555-1212 (the space is the delimiter)
However, the following examples would be incorrect:
#44 232 (city and country codes are not contiguous)
#44-232-555-1212 (same as above)
#44232555-1212 (delimiter is missing after city and country codes)
