Follow the steps below to create a call park orbit range by using Communications Server Control Panel.

To create a new range of numbers for parking calls

  1. Open Communications Server Control Panel.

  2. In the left navigation bar, click Voice Features.

  3. On the Call Park tab, click New.

  4. In the New Call Park Number Range dialog box, in the Name box, type a name for the number range.

  5. In the first Number range box, type the first number in the range of extensions for this call park orbit.

    Note:
    • This number must be less than or equal to the number you type in the second Number range box, which specifies the last number in the range of extensions for this call park orbit.

    • The value must also be the same length as the last number in the range of extensions.

    • Valid values: Must match the regular expression string ([\*|#]?[1-9]\d{0,7})|([1-9]\d{0,8}). This means the value must be a string beginning with either the character * or # or a number 1 through 9 (the first character cannot be a zero). If the first character is * or #, the following character must be a number 1 through 9 (it cannot be a zero). Subsequent characters can be any number 0 through 9 up to seven additional characters (for example, "#6000", "*92000", "*95551212", and "915551212"). If the first character is not * or #, the first character must be a number 1 through 9 (it cannot be zero), followed by up to eight characters, each a number 0 through 9 (for example: 915551212;41212;300).

    • You should not have more than a total of 50,000 orbits per pool. Each orbit range typically encompasses 100 or fewer orbits, but it can be much larger as long as it includes fewer than 10,000 orbits. For example, instead of specifying a starting number of "7000000" and an ending number of "8000000," consider specifying a starting number of "7000000" and an ending number of "7000100."

  6. In the FQDN of destination server box, click the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or service ID of the Application service that hosts the Call Park application. All calls parked to numbers within the range specified by the start number and end number in the orbit range will be routed to this server or pool.

  7. Click Commit.
