Configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager Route Patterns

Introduction

Sometimes it may be necessary to update the default dial plan route patterns that are deployed as part of the default dial plan schemas that are delivered with the VOSS-4-UC template package.

Caution:

The Cisco HCS default dial plan includes most common translation and route patterns and in most cases, should be added automatically when a customer dial plan, site dial plan, and voice mail service is provisioned. If you wish to update translation and route patterns using VOSS-4-UC, you must have a full understanding of the Cisco HCS dial plan. Refer to the VOSS-4-UC Dial Plan Management Guide.

Use this procedure to update Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) route patterns that are provisioned by the dial plan schema or to add new route patterns from VOSS-4-UC that are not part of the standard dial plan package. For more information on the latest Unified CM route patterns, refer to http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/products-maintenance-guides-list.html.

Procedure

  1. Log in as provider, reseller, or customer administrator.

  2. Make sure the hierarchy path is set to the node where you want to add or edit the route pattern.

  3. Perform one of:

    • If you are logged in as provider or reseller administrator, choose Device Management > CUCM > Route Patterns.
    • If you are logged in as customer administrator, choose: Device Management > Advanced > Route Patterns.

  4. Perform one of:

    • To add a new route pattern, click Add, then go to Step 5.
    • To edit an existing route pattern, click on the pattern to be updated and go to Step 6.

  5. From the CUCM drop-down menu, select the hostname, domain name, or IP address of the Unified CM to which you want to add the route pattern.

    Note:

    The CUCM drop-down menu only appears when a route pattern is added; it does not appear when you edit a route pattern.

    Important:

    If you are adding or editing a route pattern at any hierarchy node above a site level, the only Unified CMs that appear in the CUCM drop-down list are Unified CMs that are located at the node where you are adding the route pattern, and all Unified CMs in hierarchies above the node where you are adding the route pattern. If you are adding or editing a route pattern at a site level, the Unified CM that appears in the CUCM drop-down list is the Unified CM in the site’s Network Device List (NDL). If the site does not have an NDL, or the NDL at the site does not have a Unified CM, the drop-down list is empty and a route pattern can not be added to the site.

  6. In the Route Pattern field, enter the route pattern, or modify the existing route pattern if desired. This field is mandatory. Enter the route pattern, including numbers and wildcards (do not use spaces); for example, enter 8XXX for a typical private network numbering plan. Valid characters include the uppercase characters A, B, C, and D and \+, which represents the international escape character +.

  7. If you want to use a partition to restrict access to the route pattern, choose the desired partition from the Route Partition drop-down. If you do not want to restrict access to the route pattern, choose <None> for the partition.

    Note:

    Make sure that the combination of route pattern, route filter, and partition is unique within the Unified CM cluster.

  8. In the Description field, enter a description for the route pattern and route partition if desired. The description can include up to 50 characters in any language, but it cannot include double-quotes (“), percentage sign (%), ampersand (&), or angle brackets (<>).

  9. Complete at minimum, the mandatory fields on each tab as appropriate (see below):

  10. Click Save when complete to save the new or updated route pattern.
