The Cisco CallManager uses translation patterns to manipulate dialed digits before it routes 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.

Use the following topics to add, update, copy, or delete a translation pattern:

Finding a Translation Pattern

Because you might have several translation patterns in your network, Cisco CallManager lets you locate specific translation patterns by using specific criteria as the basis. Use the following procedure to locate translation patterns.

---

Note During your work in a browser session, Cisco CallManager Administration retains your translation pattern search preferences. If you navigate to other menu items and return to this menu item, Cisco CallManager Administration retains your translation pattern search preferences until you modify your search or close the browser.

---

Procedure

---

Step 1 Choose Route Plan > Translation Pattern.

The Find and List Translation Patterns window displays.

Step 2 From the first drop-down list box, choose one of the following criteria:

•Pattern (to search by translation pattern names)

•Description (to search by translation pattern descriptions)

•Partition

---

Note The criterion that you choose in this drop-down list box specifies how the list of translation patterns that your search generates will be sorted. For example, if you choose Description, the Description column will display as the left column of the results list.

---

From the second drop-down list box, choose one of the following criteria:

•begins with

•contains

•ends with

•is exactly

Step 3 Specify the appropriate search text, if applicable, and click Find. You can also specify how many items per page to display.

---

Note To find all translation patterns that are registered in the database, click Find without entering any search text.

---

A list of discovered translation patterns displays by

•Translation pattern icon

•Translation Pattern

•Partition

•Description

•Route Filter

---

Note You can delete multiple translation patterns from the Find and List Translation Patterns window by checking the check boxes next to the appropriate translation patterns and clicking Delete Selected. You can delete all the translation patterns in the window by checking the check box in the matching records title bar and clicking Delete Selected.

---

Step 4 From the list of records, click the translation pattern that matches your search criteria.

The Translation Pattern Configuration window displays the translation pattern that you choose.

Translation Pattern Configuration Settings

Table 20-1 describes the available fields in the Translation Pattern Configuration window.

Table 20-1 Translation Pattern Configuration Settings 

Field	Description
Pattern Definition
Translation Pattern	Enter the translation pattern, including numbers and wildcards (do not use spaces), in the Translation Pattern field. For example, for the NANP, enter 9.@ for typical local access or 8XXX for a typical private network numbering plan. If you leave this field blank, you must select a partition from the Partition drop-down list box. Note Ensure that the translation pattern, that uses 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 that indicates duplicate entries. Alternatively, check the route plan report if you receive an error that indicates duplicate entries.
Partition	Choose a partition. If you do not want to assign a partition, choose <None>. If you choose <None>, you must enter a value in the Translation Pattern field. If more than 250 partitions exist, the ellipsis (...) button displays next to the drop-down list box. Click the ... button to display the Select Partition window. Enter a partial partition name in the List items where Name contains field. Click the desired partition name in the list of partitions that displays in the Select item to use box, and click OK. Note To set the maximum list box items, choose System > Enterprise Parameters and choose CCMAdmin Parameters. Note Make sure that the combination of translation pattern, route filter, and partition is unique within the Cisco CallManager cluster.
Description	Enter a description for the translation pattern.
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. The route filters that display depend on the numbering plan you choose from the Numbering Plan drop-down list box. If more than 250 route filters exist, the ellipsis button (...) displays next to the drop-down list box. Click the ... button to display the Select Route Filters window. Enter a partial route filter name in the List items where Name contains field. Click the desired route filter name in the list of route filters that displays in the Select item to use box and click OK. Note To set the maximum list box items, choose System > Enterprise Parameters and choose CCMAdmin Parameters.
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 to be 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.
Calling Party Transformations
Use Calling Party's External Phone Number Mask	Check the check box if you want the full, external phone number to be used for calling line ID (CLID) on outgoing calls.
Calling Party Transform Mask	Enter a transformation mask value. Valid entries for the NANP include the digits 0 through 9; the wildcard characters X, asterisk (*), and octothorpe (#); 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.
Prefix Digits (Outgoing Calls)	Enter prefix digits. Valid entries for the NANP include the digits 0 through 9, #, *, and blank. Note The appended prefix digit does not affect which directory numbers route to the assigned device.
Calling Party Presentation	Choose whether Cisco CallManager transmits or blocks caller ID. Choose Default if you do not want to change calling party presentation. Choose Allowed if you want Cisco CallManager to send caller ID. Choose Restricted if you do not want Cisco CallManager to send caller ID. For more information about this field, see Table 22-4 in the "Calling Party Transformations Settings" section
Called Party Transformations
Discard Digits	Choose the discard digits instructions that you want to be associated with this route pattern. See the "Discard Digits Instructions" section for more information. Note The discard digits that display depend on the numbering plan you choose from the Numbering Plan drop-down list box.
Called Party Transform Mask	Enter a transformation mask value. Valid entries for the NANP include the digits 0 through 9; the wildcard characters X, asterisk (*), and octothorpe (#); and blank. If the field is blank, no transformation takes place. The dialed digits get sent exactly as dialed.
Prefix Digits (Outgoing Calls)	Enter prefix digits. Valid entries for the NANP include the digits 0 through 9, #, *, and blank. Note The appended prefix digit does not affect which directory numbers route to the assigned device.
