English term or phrase: switch prefix
"A telephone number inventory enables you to establish line ranges for telephone numbers for each switch prefix in your service area."

"You can also query for line ranges currently maintained in your infrastructure by switch prefix, network location, type, line range, or status."

Any idea of what "switch prefix" is?
