Cisco Custom Dial Plans#
Overview#
VOSS Automate provides support for Cisco HCS dial plans, and Cisco Custom dial plans. This section describes the Cisco Custom dial plans.
Important
Contact your dedicated VOSS support representative for details on how to set up and configure Cisco Custom Dial Plans.
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:

Features of Cisco Custom Dial Plans
Cisco Custom dial plans:
Allow you to manage dial plans independent of the hierarchy schema approach of Cisco HCS dial plans. However, you can also use Cisco Custom dial plans with schema-based dial plans.
Can be used in place of or together with the schema or schema group approach, for example to add elements in an additional dial plan in an ad-hoc manner.
Allows senior administrators to define complete complex dial plans and to provide access to these dial plans to lower level administrators, who won’t need to understand the complete dial plan.
Cisco Custom dial plan models use all functionality of schemas, as well as call routing via route filters.
Provide additional configuration options, and a repeatable process for managing CUCM elements.
Can be provisioned in a modular manner.
Provide a structure for storing dial plan models.
Deployment elements included with Cisco Custom dial plans:
The elements included in a Cisco Custom dial plan are collectively referred to as a Dial Plan Model.
Each dial plan element is broken into its own container or model for storage in VOSS Automate. This allows for simple management of the dial plan model as a whole.
Cisco Custom dial plan models may be bulk loaded into VOSS Automate and managed via the Admin Portal.
The following elements are included in Cisco Custom dial plan:
Device Pools - Regions - Locations -SRST
Transcoders
Conference Bridge
Media Resource Groups
Media Resource Group Lists
Route Groups
SIP Trunks
CTI Route Points with Lines (Lines are not supported in schemas)
Time Periods
Time Schedules
Partitions
CSSs
Route Patterns
Transition Patterns
Called Party Transformation Patterns
Calling Party Transformation Patterns
SIP Route Patterns

Cisco Custom Dial Plan Checklist#
The high level task workflow for setting up Cisco Custom dial plans is as follows:
Load Dial Plan Models for Global Values via bulk loader or JSON
Load Dial Plan Models for Site Values via bulk loader or JSON
Set Dial Plan Input Data for Global or Site level values. Only the fields that are referenced via Macro in the dial plan model must be populated.
Push Global dial plan data to Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), using the Dial Plan Maintenance Tool. Be sure to check that the tool is run at the appropriate hierarchy level.
Push Site level dial plan data at CUCM, using the Dial Plan Maintenance Tool. Be sure to check that the tool is run at the appropriate hierarchy level.
Should any changes need to be made to the pushed dial plans, the tool does allow for removal in reverse order then a re-push once the dial plan models are updated.
Set Site Defaults via the site default profile tool.
