NPA's for NARS 1

[ajfischer]

Is there a "wild card" or trick to entering long distance NPAs under LD 90 for all of North America, instead of one at a time?

Thanks!!

Instead of entering 1408, you could just enter 14. That way all 1400 through 1499 would go out the same route.

On a side note, you would have to remove all of the 14XX's before you would be allowed to enter in just 14, so you do risk having people not be able to dial to cetain areas while you are modifying the range.

You also just hit enter and it will print them all.

Most people I know use scripts. I don't have a script myself, but try a search-- I know they are out there.

i would never recogmend using 14 as a npa.. your calls will slow down a lot.. and when you need to do a special control on the 1414 555 for example, your shot,, if you need a script to add or delete a range from bars, let me know i will write and post it here. just need to know exactly what you need on the scripts..if you just need one that will add all posible npa's with no deny tables, just let me know the rli you want.. i can write one that simple in a few minutes...

Hey John-

That would be great....just need to allow all NPAs except 1-509, 1-360, 1-425, and 1-253 for RLI "3", ENRTY "0", FRL "2" using ROUT "1"....also, I guess I need instructions for running the script.

F.M.I.-the syswtem would not let me put in entries like 14..., 15... etc... to allow/deny all 14xxx or 15xxx. It says invalid number of digits...it seems to want 1+(3)digits...if I wanted to...is there a way to enter those entries?

Thanks!!

John, is it possible to script it so that when it hits an NPA that is already in the switch it keeps going down the list? I have some sites that have had NPAs added during the course of the year, so everytime I try to create a script to add the new NPAs, it fails when I hit a system that already has one in. Any ideas?

clean trick for an after hours add of npa's, write a script that deletes all numbers from 1200 to 1999, no skips, when your script hits a non entered combination, you get a quick code, and the prompt npa.. since that's the same prompt as your "waitfor npa" prompt anyway.. 10 minutes and their all gone, another 30 and a few hundred new ones are back in.. i put usually put in 1200 to 1999, and then run a quick delete, since the delete is quicker... i have one for my area, but it is a month or two old, with just the working.

another short cut, if the script hangs, instead of stopping and doing an edit.. (shortcut) alt f3 alt e...edits the current script

proc main
goto loop

then after the last perfect line

loop:

that restarts it in the middle

that is slower...try this one


just start typing the info, using the last npa 1999, return etc,,as you are typing, the script will see a match in the waitfor line and start itself

Well...I see I didn't read your original post closely enough. Thought you just wanted to print them, but I see you are modifying them. Sorry.
