NENA Column Mapping

Once you have created the basic information for the interface, you can connect the fields together. This means that you are associating the fields within NENA to the field within CAIRS. There are ten columns of information:

NENA Field – displays the field name within the NENA field
NENA Size – displays the maximum character limit for the NENA field
Default Mapping – displays the default CAIRS field that is associated with the NENA field
Custom Mapping Table and Custom Mapping Field – for fields that do not appear in the default mapping, you can use these two columns to pull fields from different tables within your database. Once you select the table, the associated fields populate with the mapping field column allowing you to select any field that appears in that table.
Cisco Custom Mapping Table and Custom Mapping Field – these columns pull fields from the tables that are specific to a Cisco Call Manager
AS5300 Custom Mapping Table and Custom Mapping Field – these columns pull fields from the tables that are specific to a Avaya AS5300 switch
Custom Value – displays the static field value, for example, you may want to pre-define your state id for all numbers included in the file. Within this field, you would type-in your state abbreviation.

! You cannot have a value in both the custom mapping field and the custom value. If you try to enter information into the custom value field, it will delete your selection in the custom mapping table and field columns and vice versa.
