Hi - I think i have (at last) got my head around the theory of the new dial plan aproach using +E.164 dialling, globalized and localized routing; but have a couple of question marks around how this ties in with a the phone DN and the Directory in deployment:
As we globalize on-net calls from abbreviated extensions e.g. dialling 51111 on-net, translates this called number to the full +E.164 using a CSS, should we now address on-net endpoints with their DN as the full +E.164 number? In respect to this, what should users be made aware of as their internal extension? Should this still be, for example, internal 5 digit and let the CSS take care of ringing the +E.164 internal endpoint . Also what is best practice for the corporate directory? should the phone number field be populated with the full +E.164 or the abbreviated extension?
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

You're on your own on this one. We use 911 Enable because CER is useless for 802.11-based deployments (which most of our deployments large enough to necessitate CER have).

Hi Jonathan,
We are having few issues when using E164 dialing. Customer site contains only 7940 ip phone model and it doesnt support + sign and the problem they are facing when they do a call back from the phone's directories and also dialing the corporate directory number which is also starts with + sign. When the phone dials any number which starts with +, it's not matching the either tranlsation pattern \+.! or the internal directory number (e164 format). I've read in some forms that we can use calling party transformation for call back as a work around but no detail explanation. Could you help us to find a workaround for this issue.
Thanks

I'm almost positive that if you apply a Calling Party Transformation CSS to the device of a 7940/7960 it will strip the plus from the missed and received calls directory. I don't have a 7940 handy to test this with but have done it in the past. I recognize this differs from newer phones who do not act the same way with CgPI transformations on the device. I believe that the CgPI transform adds an extra field in the SCCP packet to show the pre-transformed value but the 7940/7960 doesn't support this so it just takes transformed value (i.e. after stripping the plus). Try it and see.
As for the corporate directory: You're screwed here. Deploy Jabber and do deskphone control.
