Customer (Single- or Multi-Site) Without PSTN Prefix#

Most of the calls made by these customers are PSTN calls. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager interprets calls without any prefix as PSTN or off-net calls. To differentiate between PSTN and intra- or inter-site calls, a prefix is required.

Notes

Intra-Site Dialing (single site only)

  • Extension Prefix + Extension (for example, *4321)

  • Extension Prefix + Extension

Since any digit 0-9 is treated as a PSTN call, extension prefix or ISP is limited to only * or #. For a single site customer, the dialing plan for intra-site calls is just an extension prefix + extension.

Intra-Site and Inter-Site Dialing (Multi-Site)

ISP + Site Code + Extension (for example, *2551234)

For a multi-site customer, it is recommended that extension dialing is not supported and all calls are dialed as ISP + Site Code + Extension.

Note:

ISP must not conflict with PSTN dialing and is therefore limited to * or #.
