Creating a bulk order for 1+ Switched ANIs

To create a bulk order for 1+ Switched ANIs:

  1. Click Services.

    Control Center shows the Services console. Use the console to access an inventory of your services, check the status of orders, and manage your services.

    6. In the CIC column, type the carrier identification code.

    7. In the Features column, select a feature to add to the ANI. Depending on the feature you select, you may also need to fill in the Code Digits, Code Table , and IS MANDATORY columns.
