Administering default dial plan settings

Last Updated : Sep 22, 2020 |

About this task

If you use multiple switches in your AE Services and Microsoft for Live Communications Server configuration, and all the switches have the same dial plan settings, you can use the Default Dial Settings page as a template. When you add a switch connection, the dial plan settings that you administer on the Default Dial Plan settings page are applied to that switch connection.

Procedure

  1. From the AE Services Management Console main menu, select Communication Manager Interface > Dial Plan > Default Settings.
  2. On the Dial Plan Settings - Conversion Rules for default page, in the From TelURI section, click Add.
  3. From the Add Dial Plan - default page, follow these steps to complete the From TelURI settings, based on your dial plan.

    4. In Matching Pattern, type a string of valid characters that you expect at the beginning of a dial string.

      Valid characters are all digits (0-9), the number sign (#), and the asterisk (*). You can not specify a blank space or the plus sign (+) in this field.

    5. In Delete length, type a number from 1 to 21 to specify the number of characters to delete from the beginning of the number (dial string).
