Multiple Subscriber Numbers (MSN)

 

ISDN 2 (Onramp) services are allocated two phone numbers.  The first of these numbers is known as the Prime Number (PN). The second phone number is the first Multiple Subscriber Number. You can obtain one Prime Number and up to 7 Multiple Subscriber Numbers from Telstra (call your Telstra representative for more details).

 

The Argent Enhanced Terminal Adaptor (AETA) is capable of handling up to 4 phone numbers on each of its two ports  (making a total of 8 phone numbers). Each MSN number has its own distinctive ring tone.  Programming and using the phone numbers assigned to the different Multiple Subscriber Numbers is carried out by adding a simple prefix to the Configuring your Phone Port Features sequences. 

Your phone bill can be itemised to detail each MSN’s outgoing call details.

 

MSN numbers can be programmed into each port as detailed in the table below.
