Route lists are made up of route groups and are associated with route patterns. A route list associates a set of route groups with a route pattern and determines the order in which those route groups are accessed. The order controls the progress of the search for available trunk devices for outgoing calls.
Use the following procedures to add or remove route lists or to add, remove or change the order of route groups in a route list:
Calling party transformation settings allow you to manipulate the appearance of the calling party's number for outgoing calls. The calling party's number is used for Calling Line Identification (CLID). During an outgoing call, the CLID is passed to each private branch exchange (PBX), central office (CO), and inter-exchange carrier (IXC) as the call progresses. The CLID is also delivered to the calling party when the call completes.
The calling party transformation settings used in route lists are assigned to the individual route groups comprising the list, rather than the route list as a whole. The calling party transformation settings assigned to the route groups in a route list override any calling party transformation settings assigned to a route pattern associated with that route list.
Table 22-1 describes the fields, options, and values used to specify calling party transformations for a route group.
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
Use Calling Party's External Phone Number Mask | This field determines whether or not the full, external phone number is used for CLID on outgoing calls. The options for this field are Default, Off, and On.
|
Calling Party Transformation Mask | This field specifies the calling party transformation mask for all calls routed through this route group. Valid values for this field are the numbers 0 through 9, and the wildcard character X. This field can also be left blank. If it is blank and the preceding field is set to Off, no calling party number is available for CLID. The calling party transformation mask can contain up to 50 digits. |
Additional Information
Called party transformation settings allow you to manipulate the dialed digits, or called party's number, for outgoing calls. Examples of manipulating called numbers include appending or removing prefix digits, appending area codes to calls dialed as seven-digit numbers, appending area codes and office codes to interoffice calls dialed as four- or five-digit extensions, and suppressing carrier access codes for equal access calls.
The called party transformation settings used in route lists are assigned to the individual route groups comprising the list, rather than the route list as a whole. The called party transformation settings assigned to the route groups in a route list override any called party transformation settings assigned to a route pattern associated with that route list.
Table 22-2 describes the fields, options, and values used to specify called party transformations for a route group.
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
Select Dial Plan | This field determines which dialing plan is used. If it is not already selected, change this field to North American Numbering Plan. |
Discard Digits | This field contains a list of discard patterns that control the discard digit instructions. For example, in a system where users must dial 9 to make a call to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), the PreDot discard pattern causes the 9 to be stripped from the dialed digit string. |
Called Party Transformation Mask | This field specifies the called party transformation mask for all calls routed through this route group. Valid values for this field are the numbers 0 through 9, and the wildcard character X. This field can also be left blank. If this field is blank, no transformation takes place---the dialed digits are sent exactly as dialed. The calling party transformation mask can contain up to 50 digits. |
Prefix Digits | This field contains a prefix digit or a set of prefix digits that are appended to the called party number on all calls routed through this route group. Valid values for this field are the numbers 0 through 9 and blank. Prefix Digits can contain up to 50 digits. |
Additional Information
The following procedure describes how to add a route list.
Procedure
Step 2 Select Route Plan > Route List in the menu bar.
Step 3 Enter a name in the Route List Name field. The name can consist of up to 50 alphanumeric characters, and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). Each route list name must be unique to the route plan.
 |
TimeSaver Use concise and descriptive names for your route lists. The CompanynameLocationCalltype format usually provides a sufficient level of detail and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily identify a route list. For example, CiscoDallasMetro identifies a route list for tool free inter-LATA (Local Access and Transport Area) calls from the Cisco office in Dallas. |
Step 4 Click Insert to add this route list.
Step 5 Type a description for the route list in the Description field and click Update.
Step 6 Click New and repeat Steps 3 through 5 to add another route list. Click Add Route Group and perform Steps 5 through 9 of the "Adding Route Groups to a Route List" section to add a route group to this list.
