4.2.3 Adding a single phone number or a range of phone numbers
To add a single number to the current profile: Type the number in the From field. Include any
formatting characters needed to make the number readable. Consistent use of formatting characters in a
profile will make the results of the sweep far more readable.
To add a range of phone numbers to the current profile: Type the starting number of the range in the
From field, including any formatting characters. Then select or tab to the To field and type the last
number in the range. The ending field will automatically include any formatting characters present in the
starting number. PhoneSweep does not allow you to explicitly enter formatting characters in the ending
number field.
When adding a range of numbers, the starting number must be the same length as the ending
number. PhoneSweep assumes that you will start from the beginning of a range, such as 555-1000, and
progress to a range endpoint of the same length, such as 555-2000. PhoneSweep will not add the range
starting at 900 and ending at 1000 in a single command, but it will add the range starting at 0900 and
ending at 1000. PhoneSweep will not add more than 10,000 numbers in a single range. In other words,
adding 555-0000 to 555-9999 will work, but 555-1000 to 556-2000 is not allowed.
If all phone numbers in the range start with the same character(s), you can place these character(s) in
the prefix field located on the options Setup->Dialing sub-tab (see Section 4.7.1, Setting dialing prefix
and suffix), rather than typing them in the Add Phone Number dialog box. This includes character(s)
needed to dial an outside line (typically “9”).
