Dial Plan Management


CWVM allows you to manage various types of dial plans and voice ports, as explained in the following topics:

POTS Dial Plans

Network Dial Plans

Voice Port Configuration

Note that this release of CWVM does not support CME or SRST dial-plan management. No dial-plan management options are displayed in CME or SRST views.

POTS Dial Plans

You can create and modify POTS dial plans (also called local dial plans) with CWVM. A POTS dial plan is created when you assign a telephone number to a voice port. CWVM automatically propagates the dial-plan information to all other gateways in the group to which the gateway belongs. If you use a Cisco UBE gatekeeper, CWVM automatically propagates the dial-plan information to other gateways under the Cisco UBE gatekeeper.

By design, the POTS dial plan configuration windows are populated with the information listed in a device's running configuration (obtained by entering the sh run command). As a result, if the default values for any of the available options are not provided in the running configuration, then these values will not appear in any of the POTS dial plan configuration windows.


Note Because CWVM supports a wide variety of Cisco routers, only basic information about dial plans is contained in this document. For detailed information about dial plans, see the documentation provided with your Cisco router.


The following topics explain how to manage POTS dial plans:

Creating a POTS Dial Plan (Phone Number Assignment)

You create a POTS dial plan when you assign a telephone number to a voice port on a voice-enabled gateway.


Note Because CWVM supports a wide variety of Cisco routers, only basic information about dial plans is contained in this document. For detailed information about dial plans, see the documentation provided with your Cisco router.


Procedure


Step 1 From the tree, right-click the gateway for which you want to create a local dial plan. A popup menu appears.

Step 2 Select Dial Plan > Phone Number Assignment. The Phone Number window appears.

Step 3 Select the voice port to which you want to add a telephone number.

Step 4 Enter a destination pattern in the Phone Number field. You can enter individual numbers, or a range of numbers. Below are examples:

555;685;559 (Use the semicolon (;) as a delimiter when entering multiple phone numbers.)

300-400 (In this example, CWVM creates 101 POTS dial plans starting from 300, 301, 302...400.)

Step 5 Click Next. The Propagate Phone popup window appears:

Click Yes to have CWVM automatically propagate the dial-plan information to the other gateways in the group or under the Cisco UBE gatekeeper.

Click No to keep the dial-plan information from being propagated to other gateways in the group.

Step 6 The Schedule Operation dialog box appears:

Click Do Now to create the POTS dial plan immediately.

Click Schedule to schedule the operation to execute at a later time. See
Scheduling a Task, page 3-41 for more information.

Step 7 Click Finish. The POTS dial plan is created.


Note When you add a phone number to a gateway belonging to a Cisco UBE gatekeeper, the number is propagated to other gateways (belonging to the same Cisco UBE gatekeeper) as a VoIP network dial peer with a RAS session target. For example, GatekeeperA has a local zone called GKzoneA with a prefix of 408. There are two gateways (GW1 and GW2) that are registered to GKzoneA. When you add a phone number to GW1, the number is propagated to GW2 as a VoIP network dial peer with RAS session target.

Showing and Modifying Network Connections

This procedure is necessary to show the VoFR and VoATM connections so that you can configure each gateway correctly.

For example, if you have four gateways that are connected by either VoATM or VoFR, you will need to perform this procedure to find where each type of connection (VoATM or VoFR) is located. When the gateway is configured for the applicable connection, the information is used for dial peer propagation. This means that when you assign a phone number and propagate information for one of these gateways, the following cases apply:

If the gateway is connected via VoATM, CWVM creates a VoATM and VoIP dial peer.

If the gateway is connected via VoFR, CWVM creates a VoFR and VoIP dial peer.

If the gateway is connected via VoFR and VoATM, CWVM creates a VoFR, VoATM, and VoIP dial peer.

This procedure also allows the user to set the destination IP address of the connection if it has not been set by the Cisco IOS software running on the gateway.

Procedure


Step 1 From a VoFR/ATM tab view, right-click on a gateway. A popup menu appears.

Step 2 Select Dial Plan > Show Network Connection.... The Show Network Connection window appears.

The following are displayed:

Connection Name—Cisco IOS name associated with the connections.

Connection Type—VoFR or VoATM.

Destination Gateway—IP address where the Frame Relay or ATM connection terminates. If the IP address is not filled in, you must enter it.

Step 3 Click Finish.


Voice Port Configuration

You can use CWVM to modify the configuration of voice ports that have been initially configured through the CLI on a router. For example, you can use CWVM to modify the configuration of an FXO voice port on a voice-enabled Cisco 3600 series router. However, the initial configuration of the FXO voice port must be done through the CLI.

The following topics explain how to configure voice ports:

Configuring an FXO Voice Port

Configuring an FXS Voice Port

Configuring an E&M Voice Port

Configuring an ISDN Voice Port


Note Because CWVM supports a wide variety of Cisco routers, only basic information about the specific values of parameters on voice ports is contained in this document. For detailed information about voice ports, see the documentation provided with your Cisco router.


Configuring an FXO Voice Port

CWVM automatically detects the types and configurations of voice ports enabled on a router when you add the router to CWVM. You can use CWVM to modify the configuration of a voice port.

Procedure


Step 1 From the tree view, right-click the gateway for which you want to configure FXO voice ports. A popup menu appears.

Step 2 Select Dial Plan > Configure Voice Ports.... The Configure Voice Ports—Step 1 window appears.
