For support of AT&T within Carrier Express, Profile definitions are created within Carrier Express, and accessible from within the 8MS GUI and API. A Profile contains a set of provisioning values. The Carrier Express API calls accept either a profilename or the set of values, allowing companies to simplify their API calls and to be certain that the provisioning values for a set of numbers are consistent, whether these numbers are provisioned as a batch or separately.

A single Profile contains the following fields:

• enterpriseid
• fqdn
• distgroup
• payphoneind
• billingtype
• edge
• intelivr
• callrecording
• callverify
• smmktbusiness
• hybrid
• skyvera
• tfservicetype
• mcn
• lso
• apn
• rao
• routingnumber
• groupsize

When specifying profilename in an API call, none of the above parameters may be included in that API call. To be clear, the API does not support overriding any values defined in a Profile by specifying those parameters in conjunction with a profilename.

All other parameters defined in an API call (i.e. those not in a Profile, such as contactname and contactphone) are not part of a Profile and must be specified in the API call.
