[Spce-user] How to add thousands of Alias Numbers to a subscriber

Fri Sep 28 04:59:31 EDT 2018

Hi,

ngcp basically uses explicit alias numbers rather than regexpes:

-          It can generate billing events ie for adding or removing particular numbers

-          The complex pbx features are based on managing numbers explicitly (groups)

-          Since multiple resellers can be hosted, they must not steal each others‘ numbers. This number management relies on explicit numbers and works safely even in race condition sceanrios.

-          While the alias number define which numbers are reachable for incoming calls, the numbers allowed as clis for outgoing calls can be defined separately with the subscribers‘ „allowed_clis“ setting.

So basically, range entry will always rely on deflating to explicit numbers.

-          the pbx subscriber admin forms in the panel UI allow to specify e164 ranges. For an e164 range, aliases are generated by appending all combinations of digits for a given suffix length.

-          the api uses an array field „alias_numbers“ to post the list of numbers. While ok for few thousands of elements, there will however be performance implications when POSTing lists with tens of thousands of numbers, which we are about to address. Also topical for allowed_clis.

-          In the Migration/Importer framework you can find (outdated) code for parsing proprietary files with provisioning data, which was used to process range notations (including intersection detection etc.).

However, there is an preferrence to enable „extended dialing mode“. If enabled, where the system will find numbers suffixed by any additional digits. Maybe an enhancment / feature request would be to introduce a regexp preference here for more detailed control.

We are also in the evaluation phase and just recently put our own PBX on the test system.

One thing that I can think of that would help is to add an option of adding a range when you add an alias number.

For example, you could add the alias 1 200 2001234 and a range 38 (creating aliases 1 200 2001234 through 1 200 2001271)
Then, you could add an alias of 1 200 2005003 with a range 15 (creating aliases 1 200 2005003 through 1 200 2005017)

This sort of set up would greatly decrease the repetitiveness of turning up new PBX customers who have a large quantity of DID's.

I was thinking of adding a feature request for this sort of thing, but haven't looked into doing so yet.

Does anyone know where to do so and how receptive they would be of this sort of request?

Thank you!

Hi,

No I’m using the GUI to configure. Don’t have much in the way of programming skill to use the API yet.

Hello Kevin,

With this large number of entries I would most certainly use the API to add them.  Are you using the built in API?

Thank you

Kevin

Hi,

I’ve got a test setup of Sipwise CE mr 6.4.1 connected to my upstream voip  provider on one interface and my backend PBX on another network interface.

I created the PBX as a subscriber and can get inbound calls working by adding in the Primary Number  and Alias Numbers fields.

I’ve DID number ranges, non-sequential numbers in total adding up to about 50000 numbers.

How would I add those the Alias Numbers?

Normally on our SBC’s you can add a regular expression for the number range but on Sipwise all I can do is add the numbers in the format <cc> <ac> <upn>.

The UPN has to have at least three digits otherwise it doesn’t work so I can cover some of the number ranges like this but this still leaves me with thousands of numbers to add to this subscriber.

Is there a better way to achieve this?

Thanks

Kevin
