Creating Phantom TNs
You may have a requirement to assign a particular extension number to a non-office based
employee. When that employee is in the office, the Phantom TN can be remote call
forwarded to a real extension. When they are away it can be forwarded to voice mail or
a mobile number.
The Phantom Terminal Numbers feature does not require any hardware. It is used in
conjunction with Call Forward All Calls and Remote Call forward. It is programmed as a
500 type set but certain requirements apply, as listed below.
The Phantom TN is programmed in a Loop or Superloop which has been defined as a Phantom
Terminal Loop.
The Directory Number must be unique to the Phantom TN. It cannot be shared with any other
telephone.
Two software packages are required. PHTN package 254 and FFC package 139.
The system software must be Release 20.x or later.
The default configuration for the system loops, generally, does not include the Phantom
Loops. You may have to contact BT to arrange for this part of the configuration to be
carried out. You can check if Phantom Loops have been defined by printing the
Configuration Record (CFN) in LD 22. This is a section of a typical Configuration Record.

SUPC
In this example, notice that Superloop 64 has a prefix of N. This denotes that it is used
as a Phantom Loop.
Phantom TNs can use loops 0-159 for all machine types except the Option 11.
Meridian Option 51-81C
So for the 51-81C range of machines, once the phantom loop has been configured, the TN's
can be programmed on that loop as you would normally do it.. For the above example, TN64
0 0 0 would be the first Phantom TN.
Meridian Option 11-11C
This is not the case for the Option 11. The Phantom loops do not correspond directly with
the Superloop number.
For Meridian Option 11 with Release 20 to 23 software the Phantom Loops use Superloops
in the range 64-80. If Superloop Number 64 is configured as a Phantom loop, TN41-0 through
to TN41-15 can be used to program Phantom 500 sets. It will also allow you to program the
16 TNs on TN42, TN43, and TN44. A total of 64 TNs on the Superloop.
This is summarised in Table 1 below.
Table 1:Meridian Option 11 Release 20 to 23
Superloop (N) TN Range 1 TN Range 2 TN Range 3 TN Range 4
64 TN41-0 to TN41-15 TN42-0 to TN42-15 TN43-0 to TN43-15 TN44-0 to TN44-15
68 TN45-0 to TN45-15 TN46-0 to TN46-15 TN47-0 to TN47-15 TN48-0 to TN48-15
72 TN49-0 to TN49-15 TN50-0 to TN50-15 TN51-0 to TN51-15 TN52-0 to TN52-15
76 TN53-0 to TN53-15 TN54-0 to TN54-15 TN55-0 to TN55-15 TN56-0 to TN56-15
80 TN57-0 to TN57-15 TN58-0 to TN58-15 TN59-0 to TN59-15 TN60-0 to TN60-15

For Option 11 systems using software Release 24 or later, the same principle applies but the Superloops are in a different range. They are Superloops 96-112. This results in a different range of Phantom TNs as summarised below in Table 2.
Table 2:Meridian Option 11 Release 24 and later
Superloop (N) TN Range 1 TN Range 2 TN Range 3 TN Range 4
96 TN61-0 to TN61-15 TN62-0 to TN62-15 TN63-0 to TN63-15 TN64-0 to TN64-15
100 TN65-0 to TN65-15 Tn66-0 to TN66-15 TN67-0 to TN67-15 TN68-0 to TN68-15
104 TN69-0 to TN69-15 TN70-0 to TN70-15 TN71-0 to TN71-15 TN73-0 to TN72-15
108 TN73-0 to TN73-15 TN74-0 to TN74-15 TN75-0 to TN75-15 TN76-0 to TN76-15
112 TN77-0 to TN77-15 TN78-0 to TN78-15 TN79-0 to TN79-15 TN80-0 to TN0-15


Configuring a Phantom TN
Only the following prompts need a response. Leave all the other prompts as default, including the class of service (CLS). You do this by pressing the Enter Key (Carriage Return) to leave the setting as default.
Load overlay LD 10 to configure the Phantom 500 sets.

LD 10
REQ NEW
TYPE 500
TN 41 5 (For example.)
PHANTOM (This is printed by the system as you programme the Phantom TN.)
DES PHANTM (This doesn't have to be PHANTM but it is a useful way to
identify them.)
CUST 0
DN xxxx (Enter the DN you want to use)
FTR CFW 16 (This is required if the calls are to be forwarded to an
alternative DN)
FTR DCFW 16 xxxx (You have to enter a DCFW.)
Tip. If you can't remember where the Phantom TNs are, use LD 81, the Feature Print overlay.
You can search for them by entering the DES in the Listing. That's why it is useful to enter the DES as PHANTM when creating a new Phantom 500 set.
Using the Feature
A call is directed to a phantom DN. If the phantom DN is Call Forward Activated, the call
is directed to its CFW DN. If the phantom DN is Call Forward Deactivated, the call is directed to its DCFW DN. The Remote Call Forward feature is used to activate or change the CFW DN.
To activate Remote Call Forward:
Dial the Remote Call Forward Activate Flexible Feature Code.
Dial the Station Control Password for the telephone to be forwarded.
Dial the Prime DN of the telephone to be forwarded.
Dial the number to which calls will be forwarded.
Dial the end-of-entry digit #
To cancel Remote Call Forward:
Dial the Remote Call Forward Deactivate FFC.
Dial the Station Control Password for the telephone.
Dial the Prime DN of the telephone.









Colin

Just make a new phone on 156 0 1 00 to 156 0 1 02 as the loop is there already.

Colin or Ace,

If loop 156 is define as a phantom, does it mean that the range of TN I can built as a phantom tn are from 156-0-0-0 to
156-1-15-15. Is there a limit of how many phanton tn you can build. Thanks.

Just how many Phantoms do you want to make?

You can make more Phanton loops.

I believe it is limited by the number of TN's you have available.

You can also make ACD DN's with MAXP of 1 and NCFW to do the same thing.

I'm just curious how many tn's you can build in one loop.

Note: Phantom TNs can use loops 0-159 for all machine types
except the Option 11C. Phantom TNs on Option 11C telephones
are restricted to card slots 41-60 (which convert to superloops
64-80



You can register for free and read the HTP's

Thanks for the help. I found that when you go to LD20.
req:luvu does not show you all that is available. It's the same as installing a new card they don't show till you build the first TN.

You can also make ACD DN's with MAXP of 1 and NCFW to do the same thing

Click to expand...

that will save you money, your not burning tn's when you use maxp 1 acd to redriect a number. another point luu will list phantoms. luvu will only list tn's you can run a jumper.. here's another point, each digital card has 16 vertial tn's on it, 4 0 0 16 thru 31 if card 0 is digital. about the only diff is the set has to match, ie.. 4 0 0 0 is a 2616, so is 4 0 0 16. i use those in my switch, but i only have 4 built, and around 8000 sets.. new licsence cost almost a hundred a pop, when i started here they had 300 phantoms
