@X38│ @X3EHelp: @X3F(E)dit Allowed # Calling File @X3B│@X0B
@X38└@X3B────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘@X0E
The allowed # calling file allows you to tell EDSBack which numbers that
you want to call back. This will prevent you from making a long distance
call if you do not want to verify long distance users. Also, for each
record in the allowed # calling file, you attach a dialing template so
that EDSBack will know how to dial any number that it comes across.
@X0F
Wildcards
@X03Both the Areacode/Country code field, and the Prefix/City code field may
contain wildcards. You may ask, "What is a wildcard?". A wildcard is
is a character used to represent something else. In this case it is the
letter X. For example, if you wanted EDSBack to callback all prefixes in
the 801 areacode, then you would setup a record in the allowed # calling
file like this one:
@X0E801 = @X0FAreacode/Country Code
@X0EXXX = @X0FPrefix/City Code
@X03 ^^^
This will tell EDSBack that any number with the areacode of 801
may be called back.
ie., 801-261-8976 would be a valid callback number.
812-261-8976 would be an invalid callback number.
You could have something like this setup also.
@X0E801 = @X0FAreacode/Country Code
@X0E26X = @X0FPrefix/City Code
@X03^^^
This will tell EDSBack that any number with the areacode of 801,
and a prefix with the first two numbers 26 may be called back.
ie., 801-261-8976 would be a valid callback number.
801-221-8976 would be an invalid callback number.
Also, you may want to specify all your local prefixes and then specify
every other prefix in your areacode as long distance. This can be done
by setting up something like the following. Say your areacode is 801 and
your local prefixes are 261 and 262 (You will be using template LOCAL).
You will be using template LONGDIST for all other prefixes in the 801 area
code.
1st record
@X0E801 = @X0FAreacode/Country Code
@X0E261 = @X0FPrefix/City Code
@X0ELOCAL = @X0FDialing Template
@X032nd record
@X0E801 = @X0FAreacode/Country Code
@X0E262 = @X0FPrefix/City Code
@X0E LOCAL = @X0FDialing Template
@X033rd record
@X0E801 = @X0FAreacode/Country Code
@X0EXXX = @X0FPrefix/City Code
@X0ELONGDIST = @X0FDialing Template
@X03Notice in the third record that we have XXX as the prefix/city
code. You may think that EDSBack would see the prefixes 261 and
262 in record #3 since we have XXX specified for the prefix. But
it doesn't. The reason for this is that EDSBack will search the
allowed # calling file until it finds a match (if it finds no
match it will tell the caller that his/her number is not in the
dialing area and will exit back to PCBoard). When it finds a
match it will stop searching the file. So if a user enters the
number @X0E801-262-8976@X03, then EDSBack will see a match in record #2
and it will look no further. If a user enters @X0E801-545-8976@X03,
then EDSBack will see a match in record #3 and will look no
further.
One drawback to wildcards is that they take MUCH longer to search than do
the regular numbers. So if you have a wildcard that covers around 50+
numbers, then go ahead and keep it in there. But if you have a wildcard
that covers less than 50 numbers, I would recommend entering each number
individually. This will greatly speed up the process.
@X0F Subcommands
@X0BH Help. @X03 Displays the file you are currently reading.
@X0BQ Quit. @X03Quits back to EDSUtil main menu.
@X0B+ Advance one record. @X03 This command will skip to the next
record in the allowed # calling file.
@X0B- Retard one record. @X03 This command will go back to the
previous record in the allowed # calling file.
@X0BJ Jump to record.@X03 This command will allow you to specify
a record number to jump to.
@X0BA Add a record. @X03 This command will allow you to add a new
record to the allowed # calling file.
@X0BL Edit Templates. @X03This command will put you directly into
the dialing template editor. This is a very useful
option if you need to add dialing templates or look to
see which templates are available without exiting to the
EDSUtil main menu.
@X0BD Deleted. @X03This command will toggle the delete flag on the
current record. (Note: The record will not be removed
from the database. To remove a deleted record, you must
pack the database.)
@X0BI International. @X03This command will allow you to tell
EDSBack if the record is an international record. This
will do two things. First, it will allow you to enter
four characters, instead of three, in the prefix/city
code field. Second, it will make EDSBack's searching
process go faster. (If the user has not entered an
international #, then EDSBack will not search record that
have the international flag on.)
@X0BC AreaCode/Country Code. @X03This command will allow you to
to specify the Areacode/Country code that EDSBack is
allowed to call back. (This field may contain wildcards)
@X0B P Prefix/City Code. @X03This command will allow you to specify
the prefix/city code that EDSBack is allowed to callback.
(This field may contain wildcards.)
@X0B T Dialing Template Name. @X03This command will allow you to
specify which dialing template it should use when it
comes across a number with the same areacode and prefix
the areacode and prefix defined in the record you are
editing.
