How many digit strings can be entered in the nested 'Digit Strings' table? You do not need to reply in the form of a question!
The EDocs say the number of entries is dependent on available system memory. If anyone knows what that means, we're only going to be using 36 ONS, and 36 LS trunks.

Well i will answer with a question, wouldnt it also depend on the feature level? my first guestimate would be 200.

Well, I've never hit the limit on a Mitel, which, since it allows conflict dialing, can have a simpler table.

But on an NEC 2000IPS using a CP-24 with MZ-357 memory add-on, I once had to make a table that broke out every area code in the US and blocked 555-1212 calls in that area code. I got up into the 500s before it ran out of memory.

Now, that required multiple entries, like this:

8A4005>0>801
8A4005>10>0099
8A4005>11>0000
8A4005>1200>0099
8A4005>12011>0000
...
8A4005>12014>0000
8A4005>12015551212>0099
etc.
(no "conflict dialing")

(yes, I could have used the "sixth digit" command to block 555-1212, as most folks do with 976, but these guys didn't want to dial 9 for an outside line, so the ARS / LCR was about as screwed up as I've ever had to program, and that prevented the "sixth digit" from working right -- no leading digit to strip).

So I probably could have done it in a Mitel easily... with about a 10th the entries... So I'm going to say...

512.

My customer wants to maintain their own 'Do Not Call' list, so each 10 digit number would need to entered manually. I told them that number would get up into the thousands over a period of time!
I 'implied' to them that they should 're-think' their application, but.........???

Fred, Here's an iteresting link with rules and even a chance to buy hardware for x number of stations. I gather that the scrubber computer and the automatic press "1" to capture the dialed number for the DNC list is included.

It also has a list of equipment to avoid.

P.S. The customer installed the new console yesterday and so far, no crashes. My parts are delayed a day, so I said we'd give them through the weekend to make sure it was the console.

Thanks Carl!

If the customer is calling within one area code, you might be able to do it. I had a stock broker* for a client, and they did this, but all of their calls were within one area code and for the most part within about four or five central offices.
