3. 2. 1 Categories in the Numbering Plan
The allocation of categories to numbers and number ranges can be freely config-
ured, provided a number of rules are observed. The default settings depend on the 
country.
Rules for an Internal Numbering Plan
Numbers are always interpreted starting from the left..
The various categories must be unequivocally separated through number alloca-
tion.. If, for example, the operator console has been allocated number 11, the num-
bers 11n cannot be allocated to any other categories. If, however, the operator con-
sole has been allocated the number 111, the numbers 112 to 119 can be allocated 
other categories.
Numbers within a category do not necessarily have to constitute a coherent range; 
instead, they can be spread over the entire number range (e.g.: user 200, 404, 550, 
551, ...). However, for the purposes of clarity, we recommend that you define coher-
ent ranges.
The number length is variable and can consist of 1 to 12 digits. Numbers with more 
than 12 digits will be truncated from the right.
