External, Incoming Call Routing Question

tlyons

Level 1

First off, let me say that this question also involves Cisco ASA's and Site-to-Site VPN, so if I'm posting in the wrong area, please let me know.

We are currently in the testing phase, (as this is a new topology configuration away from our current network model).  We have set up a S2S VPN Tunnel between our corporate office and a small remote office, each site having a Cisco ASA 5505, (8.x).  As I said earlier, the current remote site is a test site. 

NOTE:  This will eventually be put in place at a new remote site that will be a new acquisition for our company.

Currently we have the S2S Tunnel up and functioning, and both LAN's on each side of the tunnel can see each other.  We have Cisco Call Manager 9.1 at our Corporate office.  Furthermore, we also have the VoIP phone at the remote test site working properly; (Cisco 7942G).

My question(s), moving forward, are these:

With a POTS line(s) coming into the remote site, how do we accomplish getting the remote site's external phone number with the current carrier, (not ours), routed into the ASA and furthermore into our phone system at our corporate office so that we can route the calls internally with UCM?  As I mentioned earler, this is going to eventually be a new acquisition, so that company, as it stands today, pays for this POTS line with a carrier other than ours.

Is this as simple as getting their carrier, (of the remote site), to route the 10 digit number to one of our Corporate owned DID's, which we would then be able to manipulate within UCM to route calls appropriately?

If I've managed to leave out too many details or have confused anyone, please let me know and I'll try to better clarify.  Thanks.

Either you need a voice gateway at the site in question or have the telco route the pstn calls to the corporate office if that is possible.

Tim,

asuming I understand this correctly,

lets assume your remote site uses 4 digits  (4XXX)  and the full E164 number range for your remote site is +61256784XXXX  (i use the australian number plan as an example).

If you deploy a Voice gateway on the remote site, your "pots" line/ISDN line connecs that site with the PSTN and will carry the

+61256784XXXX number range,

the voice gateway will then strip all by the last 4 digits making it 4XXXX  (forget about E164 for a minute).  The gateway will then send all calls to Call Manager (centralised dial plan)   that will have the remote site's voip phones registered (with extensions in the 4xxx range).

and thats it.!

If you have an existing gateway on the rmeote site already, with an existing ISDN, just port the number range over to it,
