Creating Dial Patterns for Communication Manager Routing Policy

Last Updated : Sep 04, 2016 |

About this task

Create a Dial Pattern using the Session Manager to Communication Manager Routing Policy. Session Manager uses this Dial Pattern to route calls to Communication Manager. A Dial Pattern specifies which Routing Policy or Routing Policies are used to route a call based on the digits dialed by a user which match that pattern. The originating location of the call and the domain in the request-URI also determine how the call gets routed.

Procedure

  1. On the System Manager web console, click Elements > Routing > Dial Patterns.
  2. On the Dial Patterns page, click New.
  3. In the General section, perform the following steps:
    1. In the Pattern field, enter a pattern.

      The pattern can have 1 to 49 characters. The valid pattern formats for different pattern types are as follows:

      • For regular patterns, [+*#0-9x][0-9x]{0,35}

      • For pattern ranges, [+0-9][0-9]{0,23}[:][+0-9][0-9]{0,23}

      • For patterns with Emergency number, [0-9]{0,35}

        Note:

        If you specify a Dial Pattern range, the system disables the Min, Max, and Emergency Call fields.

    2. In the Min field, enter the minimum number of digits to match in the Dial Pattern.
    3. In the Max field, enter the maximum number of digits to match in the Dial Pattern.
    4. In the SIP Domain field, select the correct SIP domain for your environment.
  4. In the Originating Locations and Routing Policies section, perform the following steps:
    1. Click Add.
    2. Select a Location.
    3. Select the appropriate Routing Policy.
    4. Click Select.
