Dial Plan Management Tool

The Dial Plan Management Tool menus provide access to enhanced dial plan management functionality:

Important

By default, the Dial Plan Management Tool and associated menus is visible in an Enterprise environment, and hidden on Provider deployments. To expose this feature on Provider deployments, set the Global Setting “Enforce HCS Dial Plan” to No. For details, see:

• Configure Access Profile for Cisco Custom Dial Plans

• Configure the Cisco Custom Dial Plan Management Menu Layout

• Dial Plan Maintenance - this menu provides an interface for the dial plan you configured to be pushed to or removed from the selected, target CUCM cluster or Microsoft tenant.

  The hierarchy on which you push or pull the dial plan filters the list of dial plans, based on the dial plan type created on the dial plan models (Cisco or Microsoft).

  This utility can also be used to push a dial plan to the cluster for inspection and then to remove it again, provided no elements were added to the CUCM cluster or Microsoft tenant that rely on the dial plan elements. For example, adding phones on CUCM that would lock CSSs and partitions.

• Dial Plan Viewer - this menu provides a read-only view of all the dial plan elements of a selected dial plan you configured with the Dial Plan Management Tool. The contents of this view corresponds with the view of a dial plan schema, but in a format that is easier to inspect.

  Note

  Details in the Dial Plan Viewer are read-only.

  

• Delete Dial Plan Model - this menu allows you to delete an entire dial plan you configured. All dial plan model elements associated with the selected dial plan model are removed, as well as the dial plan model itself.

  

• Dial Plan Input Data (Cisco-only) - an interface allowing lower level administrators to easily set up data to be added to either global or site level dial plan types. Custom dial plan data can also be included.

  In the individual dial plan elements, the values entered here are then referenced with macros, so that shared dial plan data can be managed efficiently.

• Cisco Dial Plan Models / Microsoft Dial Plan Models - a list of menus to manage elements of dial plans created with the feature. Individual elements - such as route patterns, SIP trunks, and translation patterns - are accessible for management via their menus.

• Dial Plan Log - a read-only record of Push and Remove operations carried out from the Dial Plan Maintenance menu. Recorded details include time and hierarchy of operation, target CUCM or Microsoft tenant, and dial plan name.
