Dial Plan Maintenance#

Overview#

The Dial Plan Maintenance menu of the Dial Plan Management Tool allows you to push or remove dial plans to a selected target Cisco Unified Communication Manager (CUCM) cluster or to a Microsoft tenant.

You can use this tool at any hierarchy. The dial plan name should indicate at what level the dial plans may be used (customer or site).

Important

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:

You can tag dial plans in the dial plan model with their type (Multi-tenant/Shared Architecture, Global, Intermediate, or Site) to introduce error checking into the tool.

The dial plan name allows only dial plans meant for a specific hierarchy use to be shown in the Dial Plan Maintenance tool. For example, If an administrator is at customer level in VOSS Automate and uses the dial plan drop-down, the list of available dial plans are only those tagged “Global”. We do this to ensure the dial plan models with hierarchy specific macros are executed at the correct hierarchy levels.

Push or Remove Dial Plan#

The Dial Plan Maintenance tool provides two operations:

  • Push dial plan

    nextgen-dial-plan-Push-Dial-Plan-Mode

  • Remove dial plan

    nextgen-dial-plan-Remove-Dial-Plan-Mode

Both push and remove operations work in the same manner:

  1. A dial plan model is chosen from the Dial Plan Name drop-down.

  2. A target CUCM or Microsoft tenant is chosen from the Target Call Manager Cluster drop-down.

  3. Choose operation, Push Dial Plan or Remove Dial Plan.
