Directory Number on PM3

I have 2 directory numbers going into a PM3 running ComOS 3.7 via PRI... I
would like to be able to set which ports (if any) accept calls on each
directory number.

It would seem to me that:

Command> set all dn 2045551234
Command> set s15 dn 2045556789
Command> reset all

should set it so that calls to 555-6789 go to port S15, and if S15 is
already in use, don't get answered and calls to 555-1234 end up on every
port *except* S15. In effect, this would limit 555-6789 to 1 line, and
555-1234 to 45 (there are 2 PRI's going into the box), and also allow me
to dynamically change the number of lines for each directory number.

What actually happens in this case is that the first call to 555-6789 ends
up on S15, but subsequent calls end up on S0, S1, etc. instead of
returning a busy signal. Is set dn broken, or is there some other way of
making the PM3 do what I want it to?

On a somewhat related point, do the ports reset themselves after a session
ends? What I would like to do is set the directory number to a different
value while a session is in progress, and it would take effect
automagically after the current session has ended.

On another related point, is there any way, besides the accounting
records, to determine the Called-Station-ID on any given port while the
session is connected? I've looked through livingston.mib, and can't find
anything too promising.
