You can compare two dial plans Did you know…. That in the Digit Translation Tool you can compare two dial plans? Using the Digit Translation Tool, you can compare two dial plans in the same ECP or in two separate ECPs. This can be accomplished in two ways:
Automated dial plan comparison After opening the Digit Translation Tool, select the View menu located on the DTT menu bar and then the Compare Dial Plan option. DTT will display the Compare Dial Plans dialog box. Using this dialog box, you can compare two dial plans within the same ECP or between two different ECPs. This comparison will determine if there are any additional or missing records found in the Secondary ECP when compared to the Master ECP. After the comparison is completed, you can create an apxrcv script to update the secondary ECP. Simply select the first ECP in the Master ECP list and enter a dial plan, then choose another ECP in the Secondary ECP list and enter a second dial plan. Click the Compare button to initiate the dial plan comparison. The DTT will display the result of the comparison in the Edit Dplan Table window.
Compare two dial plan windows side by side After opening the Digit Translation Tool, select the first ECP you would like to use in the dial plan comparison from the ECP list. Click the Dplan button located on the DTT toolbar, DTT will display the Dplan Table window for the selected ECP. Next, choose a different ECP in the ECP list and click the Dplan button again. Locate the dial plans you would like to compare in the left-hand grid in each of the ECPs. Under the Windows menu, select the Tile option. The DTT will display one of the Dplan Table windows above the other, allowing you to easily compare the selected Dial Plans. After confirming any differences found by the visual comparison, you can create an apxrcv script to update the ECPs.
You can email a section of your database information Have you ever wanted to email a section of your database information? What about pasting a small section of your data into a Word document? Simply click and drag your mouse over the data you would like to copy. Using the Menu button, select Copy highlighted to Clipboard. You can now paste this information into MS Excel, Word or Outlook. For more information on this topic, please refer to your DTT user guide or online help.
You can update your local and long distance dial plans using LERG Have you ever needed to update your local or long distance dial plans? Did you know that the Digit Translation Tool can update your dial plans monthly with new Npa/Nxxs from LERG? The Digit Translation Tool uses a wizard to update your dial plans using the LERG table and complete an audit. Depending on the options you choose, the audit will determine if there are any Npa/Nxx's missing, extra or if there are any changes or updates required. To access the Update DPlan wizard, go to the Edit menu and choose LERG Update. The updates the DTT executes are dependent on the options you choose in the wizard. For details on how to use the Update Dplan Wizard, please refer to your DTT user guide or online help. You can locate the switch information for a local dial plan Have you ever wanted to find the switch information for a local dial plan? Four of the columns found in the dial plan table (LATA, Switch/CLLI, Partial and RC Abbre) have been extracted from the LERG database and then combined with the dial plan fields. To view this information, select the DPlan button on the DTT tool bar. The DTT will display the DPlan Table window. Move your scroll bar all the way to the right to view these fields.
You can generate and schedule Tgs Did you know… You can generate and schedule Tgs? The Digit Translation Tool allows you to create and schedule the Tgs necessary to make the DPlan changes work. Current conditions sometimes necessitate tgs to be run during low-traffic times, per Lucent bulletins. The Digit Translation Tool uses DpVacant imported data, along with the DPlan Numbers found in the edit window, to create the proper TG script for you. If multiple DPlans are being edited, the DTT will display all necessary tgs. For step-by-step details, please refer to the Digit Translation Tool User Guide or online help.
You can determine which ones and how your Dial Plans are vacant Did you know… You can find out which ones and how your Dial Plans are vacant? Dial plan vacants can be viewed by selecting View from the DTT menu bar then and Edit Dial Plan Vacant. The Dial Plan vacants are shown, as they are inter-connected. Dial Plans on Lucent systems are chained together and are displayed using a Tree view. The Dp Vacant window shows these layouts in both forward and reverse order to allow you to view inter-relationships.
You can access periodically backed up databases Did you know… That in both the DTT and RTT the databases are backed up periodically? Using these backups, you can easily retrieve information to restore the switch databases. Simply click the Configure menu on the RTT or DTT menu bar and select Switch to database then Backed up < backup date>.
To ensure that you are retrieving the correct information, refer to the date displayed in the title bar of the Table window. This date refers to the actual date of the Table Dump. The administration station configures the periodic backup intervals and the number of backups held at one time. A database can be backed up at any time and your administrator can change the configuration.
You can update your Pn database using any number of the LERG that is ported Have you ever wanted to update the PN databases using any number of the LERG (Area Code 317, for example) that is ported? There is a "Ported" field in the DPlan Table. This field includes either a "Y" or "N", "Y" indicates that the Npa/Nxx (Pattern) is labeled portable in the LERG database. Follow the steps below to update your Pn database:
** If there is a Npa/Nxx in the Edit window that you do not want to update, re-open the wizard and enter the Npa/Nxx in the Exempt Npa/Nxx table. Close the Edit window and re-run the audit. The next time you do a similar audit, those Npa/Nxxs in the Exempt Npa/Nxx table will not be included. <
You can easily find a Dxdrte available route Trying to create a new Dxdrte route? Looking for a vacant / identical Dial Plan, Destx, Dnmi, Ri, Rls and Rlsnum in multiple ECPs? The Digit Translation Tool's unique feature allows you to easily and rapidly find a Dxdrte available route. Simply select the desired ECP and in the View menu select Available Dxdrte.
A window of all available routes for each ECP will appear. All you are required to do is to select a common available route. Each window identifies the DxD dialing plan, records and index numbers which are unused for call routing, route list selectors for operator assisted calls, route list selectors for direct dialing calls, etc.
You can locate all the chained DnMod forms for a given Chain Mode type Have you ever needed to locate all the chained DnMod forms for a given Chain Mode type? DnMod is a translation database that allows the engineer to perform changes to the dialed number to get a desired result for routing the call. Certain DnMod forms can be chained together due to having the same Chain Mode type. To find all the DN modification types for chaining (chmodtype) equal to four, we will use three functions of the DnMod window-Sort… , Get All… and Get Distinct…- to locate the Chain Mod type of four. Follow the steps below:
You can locate all DnMod forms with a destination index of Have you ever needed to locate all the DnMod forms with a destination index of Null (_) or zero (0)? The Destination Index (Destx) column indicates which record in the dxdrte database will be used to route the call instead of reanalyzing the digits. DnMod forms with a destination index of Null or 0 modify and reanalyze the dialed number. The Digit Translation Tool allows you to locate all the DnMod forms with a destination index of Null or Zero. Follow the steps below to locate the DnMod forms with a destination index of Null or Zero:
You can locate all assigned switches in the Rls form Have you ever needed to locate all assigned switches in the Rls form? The Rls table in the Digit Translation Tool contains a column call 'Sw' or 'Switch Identification'. This column contains the switches (DCS) for which the route list selector is being assigned. Sometimes, you may need to know the assigned switches in the Rls database. Using the Rls Table and the Menu button, you can display one of every assigned switch identification. Follow the steps below to locate all assigned switches:
