Calling Party Transformation Patterns#
Overview#
The parameters in the Calling Party Transformation Patterns window provide appropriate caller information using the Calling Party Transformation calling search space on the destination device. Be aware that calls through transformation patterns are not routable. When this pattern is matched, the call does not route to any device.
You use calling party transformation patterns with the calling party normalization feature.
Configure Calling Party Transformation Patterns#
Log in as the Provider, Reseller, or Customer Administrator.
Perform one of the following:
If you logged in as the Provider or Reseller Administrator, select# Apps Management > CUCM > Calling Party Transformation Patterns.
If you logged in as the Customer Administrator, select Apps Management > Advanced > Calling Party Transformation Patterns.
Make sure that the hierarchy path is set to the correct level.
Perform one of the following:
To add a new calling party transformation pattern, click Add, then go to step 5.
To edit an existing calling party transformation pattern, click on the line item in the table. Go to step 6.
In the popup, select from the drop-down the network device list (NDL) to which you are adding the calling party transformation pattern, and click OK.
Note
The NDL popup will only appear when you are adding a new calling party transformation pattern. If you are updating an existing pattern, go to Step 6.
If you are adding the calling party transformation pattern to a Site hierarchy node, the NDL popup will not appear. You will go right to the Calling Party Transformation Pattern add tabs using the NDL associated to the site.
From the Pattern Definition tab, modify the following fields as required.
Option
Description
Pattern (Mandatory)
Enter the transformation pattern, including numbers and wildcards (do not use spaces); for example, for NANP, enter 9.@ for typical local access or 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 +.
Note
Ensure that the pattern is unique. Check the transformation pattern, route pattern, translation pattern, directory number, call park number, call pickup number, message waiting on/off, or meet me number if you receive an error that indicates duplicate entries. You can also check the route plan report.
Default value: None
Partition
If you want to use a partition to restrict access to the transformation pattern, choose the desired partition from the drop-down list box.
Note
Configure transformation patterns in different non-null partitions rather than dialing patterns such as route patterns and directory numbers. For transformation pattern lookups, Cisco Unified Communications Manager ignores the patterns in null partitions.
Make sure that the combination of pattern, route filter, and partition is unique within the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
Description
Enter a description of the transformation pattern.
Numbering Plan
Choose a numbering plan.
Route Filter
If your transformation pattern includes the @ wildcard, you may choose a route filter. The optional act of choosing a route filter restricts certain number patterns.
The route filters that display depend on the numbering plan that you choose from the Numbering Plan drop-down list box.
MLPP Preemption Disabled
Check this box to make the numbers in a transformation pattern non-preemptable.
From the Calling Party Transformations tab, modify the following fields as required.
Option
Description
Use Calling Party’s External Phone Number Mask
Choose On from the drop-down list if you want the full external phone number to be used for calling line identification (CLID) on outgoing calls. Choose Off or Default if you do not want to use the full external phone number for CLID on outgoing calls. You may also configure an External Phone Number Mask on all phone devices.
Digit Discards
Choose the discard digit instructions that you want to be associated with this calling party transformation pattern.
Calling Party Transformation Mask
Enter a transformation mask value. Valid entries include the digits 0 through 9; the wildcard characters X, asterisk (*), and octothorpe (#); and the international escape character +.
If the Digit Discards field is blank, the Prefix Digits field is blank, the Calling Party Transformation Mask field is blank, and Use Calling Party’s External Phone Number Mask is set to Off or Default, no calling party transformation takes place.
Prefix Digits
Enter prefix digits in the field. Valid entries include the digits 0 through 9, the wildcard characters asterisk (*) and octothorpe (#), and the international escape character +.
Note
The appended prefix digit does not affect which directory numbers route to the assigned device.
Calling Line ID Presentation
Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses calling line ID presentation (CLIP/CLIR) as a supplementary service to allow or restrict the originating caller phone number on a call-by-call basis.
Choose whether you want the Cisco Unified Communications Manager to allow or restrict the display of the calling party phone number on the called party phone display for this route pattern.
Choose Default if you do not want to change calling line ID presentation. Choose Allowed if you want Cisco Unified Communications Manager to allow the display of the calling number. Choose Restricted if you want Cisco Unified Communications Manager to block the display of the calling number.
Option
Description
Calling Party Number Type
Choose the format for the number type in calling party directory numbers.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets the calling directory number (DN) type. Cisco recommends that you do not change the default value unless you have advanced experience with dialing plans such as NANP or the European dialing plan. You may need to change the default in Europe because Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not recognize European national dialing patterns. You can also change this setting when you are connecting to a PBX that expects the calling directory number to be encoded to a non national type numbering plan.
Choose one of the following options:
Cisco CallManager - Use when the Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets the directory number type.
Unknown - Use when the dialing plan is unknown.
National - Use when you are dialing within the dialing plan for your country.
International - Use when you are dialing outside the dialing plan for your country.
Subscriber - Use when you are dialing a subscriber by using a shortened subscriber number.
Calling Party Numbering Plan
Choose the format for the numbering plan in calling party directory numbers.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets the calling DN numbering plan. Cisco recommends that you do not change the default value unless you have advanced experience with dialing plans such as NANP or the European dialing plan. You may need to change the default in Europe because Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not recognize European national dialing patterns. You can also change this setting when you are connecting to PBXs by using routing as a non-national type number.
Choose one of the following options:
Cisco CallManager - Use when the Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets the Numbering Plan in the directory number.
ISDN - Use when you are dialing outside the dialing plan for your country.
National Standard - Use when you are dialing within the dialing plan for your country.
Private - Use when you are dialing within a private network.
Unknown - Use when the dialing plan is unknown.
Click Save. The calling party transformation pattern appears in the list.
To modify any of these properties, click the item in the list, make your changes, and click Save.
To delete a calling party transformation pattern, check the box to the left of the Name column in the group list, and click Delete.
