The following table shows you how to add a new Subscriber Group record to the NP RapidDial Table (using Subscriber Group 10 as an example).

Prompts | Example of User Input | Comments

Subscriber Group 10 does not exist. Create new Subscriber Group 10? (Y/N) | Y | Begin creating Subscriber Group 10.
Enter prefix length: | 5 | Sets the first five digits of the phone number as the prefix.
Enter suffix length: | 2 | Sets the last two digits of the phone number as the suffix.
Enter prefix: | 12345 | Sets all phone numbers in this group to begin with 12345.
Enter suffix range (start-end): | 10-99 | Sets all phone numbers to end with a number from 10 through 99.
Enter prefix: | Enter | Enter another prefix or press Enter to end.
Enter Subscriber Group (1-1000): | Enter | Enter a new Subscriber Group or press Enter to end.
1 record(s) added. | Enter | A notification appears that the group was created.

When creating a Subscriber Group, the following rules apply:

- Mailbox numbers in Subscriber Groups can be up to 11 digits.

- The prefix can be a maximum of nine digits.

- The suffix is the NP RapidDial number that group members will use to access mailboxes in their Subscriber Group.

In the example above, the mailbox numbers are set at seven digits with five digits in the prefix and two digits in the suffix. All mailboxes numbers have the prefix 12345. Members of Subscriber Group 10 can use the two-digit suffix to address messages to other mailboxes in the group. For example, the user for mailbox 1234510 can press 99 to address a message to mailbox 1234599.
