Field Name Valid Input Description/Procedure
Name: A unique name that consists of from 1 to 29 alphabetic characters Enter the name of the subscriber to be added or changed. This is a mandatory input field; there is no default value. The name must be unique.

It is suggested that you enter the last name first, then a comma, and then the first name, for example, Doe,Jane. However, you can use any combination of letters. (There are no embedded spaces in the example; that is, it was not entered Doe, Jane.)

Furthermore, in places where telephones have letters that accompany the numbers, each name must be unique as entered on the keypad of a touchtone telephone, for example, Doe,JaneA and Doe,JaneZ to distinguish between two possible Jane Does.
