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:
Both push and remove operations work in the same manner:
The Dial Plan Management menus provide access to enhanced dial plan management functionality:
Dial Plan Maintenance - an interface for the created dial plan to be push to or removed from a chosen, Target Call Manager Cluster.
The hierarchy on which this operation is carried out will filter the list of dial plans - according to the chosen Dial Plan Type when it was created on the Dial Plan Models menu.
This utility can also be used to push a dial plan to the cluster for inspection and then to remove it again, as long as no elements were added to the Call Manager cluster that rely on the dial plan elements (for example, adding phones on the Call Manager that would lock CSSs and partitions).
Dial Plan Viewer - a tabbed form view of all the dial plan elements of a selected dial plan created from this feature. The contents of this view corresponds with the view of a dial plan schema, but in a format that is easier to inspect. Note that the viewer does not allow for any changes to be made to the dial plan. See also "Dial Plan Models" for details of each specific dial plan element.
Delete Dial Plan Model - from this menu, an entire dial plan created in this feature can be deleted with a single action, in other words, 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 - 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.
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 each have a menu item from which it can be managed.
Dial Plan Log - a record of Push and Remove operations carried out from the Dial Plan Maintenance menu. Details such time and hierarchy of operation, target Call Manager and dial plan name are recorded.
This interface provides an overall view and does not allow any editing of the dial plan.
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:
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.
