Dial Plan Schemas#

This procedure configures a customized group of related dial plan elements in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), including time periods, time schedules, partitions, calling search spaces, translation patterns, calling and called party transformations, CTI route points, route lists, route patterns, and SIP route patterns.

Note

When configuring a dial plan schema using this procedure, the elements are only available on the CUCM after the dial plan schema is placed in a Dial Plan Schema group (refer to Create Schema Groups), and once the group is associated with a customer (refer to Associate Custom Schemas to Customers).

It is strongly recommended that all dial plan entries in a dial plan should be unique.

Perform these steps:

  1. Log in to VOSS Automate as a Provider or Reseller Administrator.

  2. Go to (default menus) Dial Plan Management > Advanced Configuration > Dial Plan Schema.

  3. To add a new custom schema, click Add.

  4. On the General tab, enter a unique name for the schema, and (optionally) add a description.

  5. On the Time Periods tab, click the Plus icon (+) to open the form for time period information, and fill out required details:

    • Define a name and (optionally) a description for the time period.

    • At Time of Day Start and Time of Day End, choose a start and end time.

    • (Optional) At Start Day, End Day, Start Month, and End Month, choose the day and month characteristics of the time period, as required.

    • (Optional) Fill out values for Start Day of the Month and End Day of Month.

    • Click OK.

  6. On the Time Schedules tab, click the Plus icon (+) to open the form to add time schedule information, and fill out details for the schema:

    • Enter a name and a description for the time schedule.

    • At Time Periods, click the Plus icon (+) to add a time period name, and click OK.

  7. On the Partitions tab, click the Plus icon (+) to open the form for adding partition details, then enter a partition name and description, and provide the time schedule.

    Note

    You can use macros to add partition information. For more information on using macros as part of the Partition Names, Descriptions, or Time Schedules, see Macros.

  8. On the Calling Search Spaces tab, click the Plus icon (+), then fill out CSS details for the schema:

    Note

    You can use macros to add calling search space (CSS) details.

    • Enter a CSS name and (optionally) a description.

    • At Partition Usage, enter a reason for the CSS.

    • If this CSS is used in a class of service, select the Class of Service CSS checkbox.

    • To add more detail about the partitions for this CSS, click the Plus icon at Partitions, then add a route partition name and an index.

    • Click OK.

  9. On each of the following tabs, click the Plus icon (+) to open the editing form, and fill out the relevant details for the schema.
