[cisco-voip] Managing DID's ?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I hear ya on this one. Others have mentioned the route plan report, which is very helpful, but it's not a true DN management system. Something that could easily be built in though is an 'assign next available number' from a range you have programmed. The problem comes, with us anyways, where you are managing multiple systems.

I think a true number management system is too complex to be included in CallManager. Too many variables.

  I have one major issue/complaint if you will with callmanager, and
  that is in regards to managing DID's or extension ranges or whatever
  you want to call it.

  I have no experience with any other phone systems or PBX's so nothing
  to base this on but my own personal experience of having to manage
  callmanager over the years.

  Just seems there should be a way to manage them both DID's /
  extensions.  I am refering to which are used or not.  I guess I think
  of it in terms of DHCP kinda.  You put in the given range your working
  with, and you can easily add and delete from within that range and see
  statistics based on that range.  Such as how many are used, or
  available.  When you delete a user/phone/extension maybe it goes back
  into this available pool or something.

  Right now all I can do is search say extension beginning with 145 and
  see if anything is availble between 1450 - 1459 and so on.  I suspect
  everyone has to deal with this same mess and I have to wonder if there
  is a better way that I am simply not aware of.

  Real nightmare for me right now due to acquisitions of others and
  using their DID ranges which now seem to be all over the place for me.
   I have ranges using every number except 0 and 8, 8 is out outside
  access number.  So I am running into issues now trying to make it all
  work with new offices and what not.  I blame the person who setup four
  digit extensions.

  Thoughts and suggestions?
