# Create New Prefix/Node Pairs

Use this procedure to create a new entry in the Digits Translation Table. Each entry associates a dialed prefix with a node, and sets the number of digits for the remote node to absorb from the network mailbox number.

1. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, (W)Network Menu, (M) Network Maintenance, and then (D)Digits Translation.

2. Select (C) Create new prefix/node pairs and enter the number (1-8191) of the new entry.

3. At the Absorb digits prompt, enter the number (0-12) of digits to absorb from the network mailbox number.

4. At the Prefix prompt, enter a dialed prefix number (1 to 99,999,999,999) that indicates a message for the node in step 2.

5. Repeat step 4 to associate additional prefixes with the node, or press Enter to stop entering prefixes.

6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 to create entries for additional nodes. Press Enter when you have finished creating entries for all nodes.
