The Cisco CallManager uses translation patterns to manipulate dialed digits before routing a call. In some cases, the system does not use the dialed number. In other cases, the public switched telephone network (PSTN) does not recognize the dialed number.

Refer to "Understanding Route Plans" in the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide for more detailed translation pattern information.

Translation Pattern Configuration Settings

Table 18-1 describes the available fields on the Translation Pattern Configuration window.

Table 18-1 Translation Pattern Configuration Settings 

Field	Description
Translation Pattern	Enter the translation pattern, including numbers and wildcards (do not use spaces) in the Translation Pattern field. For example, enter 9.@ for typical local access or 8XXX for a typical private network numbering plan. Note Ensure the translation pattern, using the chosen partition, route filter, and numbering plan combination, is unique. Check the route pattern, translation pattern, directory number, call park number, call pickup number, or Meet Me number if you receive an error indicating duplicate entries.
Partition	Choose a partition. If you do not want to assign a partition, choose "None."
Numbering Plan	Choose a numbering plan.
Route Filter	Choosing an optional route filter restricts certain number patterns. See the "Route Pattern Wildcards and Special Characters" section and the "Route Filter Configuration" section for more information.
Calling Search Space	Choose the calling search space for which you are adding a translation pattern, if necessary.
Route Option	The Route Option designation indicates whether you want this translation pattern used for routing calls (such as 9.@ or 8[2-9]XX) or for blocking calls. Choose "Route this pattern" or "Block this pattern" radio button.
Provide Outside Dial Tone	Check the check box if appropriate.
Urgent Priority	Cisco CallManager sets all translation patterns with urgent priority, and you cannot change the priority of the translation patterns.
Use Calling Party's External Phone Number Mask	Check the check box if you want the full, external phone number used for calling line ID (CLID) on outgoing calls.
Calling Party Transform Mask	Enter a transformation mask value. Valid entries include the digits 0 through 9, the wildcard character X, and blank. If this field is blank and the preceding field is not checked, no calling party transformation takes place. See the "Adding a Route List" section for more detailed information.
Discard Digits	Choose the discard digits instructions you want associated with this route pattern. See the "Discard Digits Instructions" section for more information.
Called Party Transform Mask	Enter a transformation mask value. Valid entries include the digits 0 through 9, the wildcard character X, and blank. If the field is blank, no transformation takes place. The dialed digits are sent exactly as dialed.
Prefix Digits (Outgoing Calls)	Enter prefix digits . Valid entries include the digits 0 through 9, #, *, and blank. Note The appended prefix digit does not affect which directory numbers route to the assigned device.
