Calling Party Transformation Pattern Configuration

The parameters in the Calling Party Transformation Patterns window provide appropriate caller information using the Calling Party Transformation calling search space on the destination device. Be aware that calls through transformation patterns are not routable. When this pattern is matched, the call does not route to any device.

Note

Refer to the Local Route Groups chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide for a discussion of called party transformation patterns and their use and configuration when the Local Route Group feature is configured. Use the following topics to find, add, update, copy, or delete a calling party transformation pattern:

Finding a Calling Party Transformation Pattern

Because you might have several calling party transformation patterns in your network, Cisco Unified Communications Manager lets you locate specific calling party transformation patterns by using specific criteria as the basis. Use the following procedure to locate calling party transformation patterns.

Note

During your work in a browser session, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration retains your transformation pattern search preferences. If you navigate to other menu items and return to this menu item, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration retains your calling party transformation pattern search preferences until you modify your search.

Calling Party Transformation Pattern Configuration

Calling Party Transformation Pattern Configuration Settings

Table 65-1 describes the calling party transformation pattern configuration settings.
Table 65-1 Calling Party Transformation Pattern Configuration Settings

Field
Pattern Definition

Description Enter the transformation pattern, including numbers and wildcards (do not use spaces); for example, for NANP, enter 9.@ for typical local access or 8XXX for a typical private network numbering plan. Valid characters include the uppercase characters A, B, C, and D and \+, which represents the international escape character +.
Note

Pattern

Ensure that the pattern is unique. Check the transformation pattern, route pattern, translation pattern, directory number, call park number, call pickup number, message waiting on/off, or meet me number if you receive an error that indicates duplicate entries. You can also check the route plan report.

See the Wildcards and Special Characters in Route Patterns and Hunt Pilots section in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for more information about wildcards. Partition If you want to use a partition to restrict access to the transformation pattern, choose the desired partition from the drop-down list box. See the Partition Configuration section on page 49-1 for more information on how to use partitions. You can configure the number of partitions that display in this drop-down list box by using the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter. If more partitions exist than the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter specifies, the Find button displays next to the drop-down list box. Click the Find button to display the Find and List Partitions window. Find and choose a partition name by using the Finding a Partition procedure in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Note

Configure transformation patterns in different non-null partitions rather than dialing patterns such as route patterns and directory numbers. For transformation pattern lookups, Cisco Unified Communications Manager ignores the patterns in null partitions. To set the maximum list box items, choose System > Enterprise Parameters and choose CCMAdmin Parameters. Make sure that the combination of pattern, route filter, and partition is unique.

Note

Note

Description Numbering Plan

Enter a description of the transformation pattern. Choose a numbering plan.

Field Route Filter

Description If your transformation pattern includes the @ wildcard, you may choose a route filter. The optional act of choosing a route filter restricts certain number patterns. The route filters that display depend on the numbering plan that you choose from the Numbering Plan drop-down list box. You can configure the number of items that display in this drop-down list box by using the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter. If more route filters exist than the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter specifies, the Find button displays next to the drop-down list box. Click the Find button to display the Find and List Route Filters window. Find and choose a route filter name by using the Finding a Route Filter procedure in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Note

To set the maximum list box items, choose System > Enterprise Parameters and choose CCMAdmin Parameters.

Urgent Priority

Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets all calling party transformation patterns with urgent priority, and you cannot change the priority of the patterns. Check the check box if you want the full, external phone number to be used for calling line identification (CLID) on outgoing calls. You may also configure an External Phone Number Mask on all phone devices. Choose the discard digits instructions that you want to be associated with this calling party transformation pattern. The discard digits that display depend on the numbering plan that you choose from the Numbering Plan drop-down list box. Enter a transformation mask value. Valid entries for the NANP include the digits 0 through 9; the wildcard characters X, asterisk (*), and octothorpe (#); and the international escape character +. If the Discard Digits Instructions field is blank, the Prefix Digits (Outgoing Calls) field is blank, the Calling Party Transformation Mask field is blank, and the Use Calling Partys External Phone Number Mask is not checked, no calling party transformation takes place.

Prefix Digits (Outgoing Calls)

Enter prefix digits in the Prefix Digits (Outgoing Calls) field. Valid entries for the NANP include the digits 0 through 9, the wildcard characters asterisk (*) and octothorpe (#), and the international escape character +.
Note

The appended prefix digit does not affect which directory numbers route to the assigned device.

Field Calling Line ID Presentation

Description Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses calling line ID presentation (CLIP/CLIR) as a supplementary service to allow or restrict the originating caller phone number on a call-by-call basis. Choose whether you want the Cisco Unified Communications Manager to allow or restrict the display of the calling party phone number on the called party phone display for this route pattern. Choose Default if you do not want to change calling line ID presentation. Choose Allowed if you want Cisco Unified Communications Manager to allow the display of the calling number. Choose Restricted if you want Cisco Unified Communications Manager to block the display of the calling number.

Calling Party Number Choose the format for the number type in calling party directory numbers. Type Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets the calling directory number (DN) type. Cisco recommends that you do not change the default value unless you have advanced experience with dialing plans such as NANP or the European dialing plan. You may need to change the default in Europe because Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not recognize European national dialing patterns. You can also change this setting when you are connecting to a PBX that expects the calling directory number to be encoded to a non national type numbering plan. Choose one of the following options:

Cisco Unified Communications ManagerUse when the Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets the directory number type. UnknownUse when the dialing plan is unknown. NationalUse when you are dialing within the dialing plan for your country. InternationalUse when you are dialing outside the dialing plan for your country. SubscriberUse when you are dialing a subscriber by using a shortened subscriber number.

Description Choose the format for the numbering plan in calling party directory numbers. Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets the calling DN numbering plan. Cisco recommends that you do not change the default value unless you have advanced experience with dialing plans such as NANP or the European dialing plan. You may need to change the default in Europe because Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not recognize European national dialing patterns. You can also change this setting when you are connecting to PBXs by using routing as a non-national type number. Choose one of the following options:

ISDNUse when you are dialing outside the dialing plan for your country. National StandardUse when you are dialing within the dialing plan for your country. PrivateUse when you are dialing within a private network. UnknownUse when the dialing plan is unknown.
