Creating an NPA Split

Use this procedure to create an NPA split and define its characteristics, including the old NPA code, the new NPA code, the central office exchange (NXX) code(s) to be transferred to the new NPA, and the beginning and ending dates of the Permissive Dialing Period (PDP).

1. Select SDS > Maintenance > NPA Splits
2. Click Insert located at the bottom of the page.
3. Enter data to provision an NPA split. Values must be entered for Old NPA, New NPA, and NXX. If dates are entered in the PDP Start and/or PDP End dates, these dates must be greater than today's date.
   For more information about these fields, see NPA Splits elements.
4. Perform one of these actions:
   • Click OK. The NPA Split record is provisioned. Its state is initialized to Pending and the previous page appears. If the page contains any values that are not valid, or if a required field is empty, an error message appears.
   • Click Apply. If field validations succeed, the new export is saved and you remain on the same page.
   • Click Cancel to abort changes on this page and return to the previous page.
