Working with Access Classes
Access classes are logical groupings of access phone numbers you can use to
group numbers by carrier, kind of number (such as toll-free), or other criteria.
You can create as many classes as you want. A subscriber can have one access
phone number from each access class, so multiple classes let you offer
subscribers multiple access numbers.
All access phone numbers belong to an access class. One class, LOCAL, exists
automatically. You can rename it if you want. If you don’t want to categorize
access numbers by carrier or other criteria and you don’t want to offer multiple
access numbers to subscribers, you can assign all numbers to one class.
Adding an Access Class
1 In the System Administration navigation bar, click Access Classes.
The Access Classes page appears (Figure 2-9). The list shows the existing
access classes. Below that, a blank input field and Add button (green “+”)
let you add access classes to the list.
2 In the blank Name field, enter a name for the access class. It may be up to
30 characters long and may contain spaces and punctuation.
3 Click the Add button.
The system confirms that the access class has been added and provides a
link back to the Access Classes page.
4 Click the link to reload the Access Classes page.
The new access class appears in the list.
Repeat the above procedure to create more access classes. Then, assign
access phone numbers to the classes. See “Working with Access Phone
Numbers” on page 35.
