CUCM CFA external forwards but drops the call when answered

CiscoSteve3

Hi guys,

Disclaimer - all I know about VoIP I've learned from Google and poking around in my CUCM 10.5.  That said, I'm stuck, and I need some help.

I'm attempting to set up CFA to a user's external number (cell phone).  I had it working and then I broke it somehow, but I can't figure out what I did to break it.

What happens now is this:  Phone A calls Phone B.  Phone B forwards to cell phone.  Cell phone rings, but when answered, it beeps three times and disconnects.  Phone A is still ringing and the cell phone will ring a second time, but when answered, same results.  Then Phone A gets the busy signal.

What I have done so far:

In the page for the DN, I have set the Forward All destination to the mobile number (8AAABBBCCCC).  I can dial this number Phone A and Phone B, and it works.  The CSS is set to "CF_External_CSS".  That CSS has a single partition selected, "Local_PT".  This partition is used for local 7 and 10 digit dialing.  Only 10 digit dialing is relevant for this problem.  There are two Route Patterns associated with this partition, one for 7 digit and the other for 10 digit.  When I was modifying the 10 digit pattern, all that I changed was deselect "Use Calling Party's External Phone Number Mask".  I saved it and then the CFA stopped working.  After clicking on Save, a notification pops up to say "The Authorization Code will not be activated.  Press OK if you want to proceed...etc."  That should be fine, we don't use FACs.  A second notification pops up that says "Any update to this Route Pattern automatically resets the associated gateway or Route List."  I clicked OK, and it saved.  So since I didn't really change anything significant in the Route Pattern, I'm assuming this reset of the gateway or Route List could have also caused it to break.  Only I don't know if that's correct, and if it is, why.

If anyone has any idea what I have done and can help me fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks to any respondents!

Steve
