I am trying to setup a new CME System and need some help. We will be using a PRI circuit with a block of DID Numbers that are
503-652-5010 thru 5049. The location in which this is going is currently using extension 200 thru 240. They do not want to change their extensions so I am trying to figure out how to translate each DID number to one extensin in range. I have read that there is a limit on rules. Can someone show me what needs to be added/changed with what what I currently have on the router so far? Thanks in Advance!

Here are a couple of options:
1. Use a secondary number on each ephone-dn, such as:
ephone-dn 1
number 200 secondary 5036525010
2. Use the "num-exp" command, such as:
num-exp 5036525010 200
Hope this helps.

It's not necessarily better, but in your case you're going to need more translation rules that you can configure. I would recommend using the secondary number on ephone-dns. The "num-exp" command is configure globally (in global config mode). If the telco is only sending 4 digits, you can modify the commands to accomodate this.
Hope this helps.

An ephone-dn can have one primary and one secondary number. Yes, this should work.

After "connection plar" would be the extension that you want incoming calls on this port to ring to. For example, if you want incoming calls to ring to extension 200, you would configure "connection plar 200".
Hope this helps.

Hi Brandon-
Thanks for the response! Is this better than using translation rules? Of these two options, which would you recommend? What level is option 2 configured and is there a limit? What if the telco is only sending the last 4 of the DID?

So for 4 digits it would be:
ephone-dn 1
number 200 secondary 5010
Correct? How many numbers can an ephone-dn have?
Will this work if we have 6921 phones and ephone-dn 1 is assigned to one button and ephone-dn 2 to the other button?
ephone-dn 1
number number 200 secondary 5010
pickup-group 1
label 5010
description 5010
name Jim
call-forward busy 10000
call-forward noan 10000 timeout 10
hold-alert 30 originator

!
ephone-dn 2
number 7010
pickup-group 1
label 7010
description 7010
name Jim
call-forward busy 10000
call-forward noan 10000 timeout 10

With the Secondary numbers, does anything need to be done on the dial-peers?
05-12-2010 12:35 PM
Probably not. Do you have an incoming dial peer explicitly configured, such as:
dial-peer voice 1 pots
incoming called-number .
direct-inward-dial

Righ now I have this for the PRI

I would recommend explicitly configuring an incoming dial peer
dial-peer voice 1 pots
incoming called-number .
direct-inward-dial

In addition to all of my other ones and this will cover the PRI T1 and my backup analog lines for if the PRI goes down?
05-12-2010 12:59 PM
This will cover the PRI. "Connection plar" on the voice ports will take care of analog lines. Your existing dial peers will likely work. I just prefer to have an explicit dial peer for inbound calls as opposed to using outbound dial peers for incoming calls as well.
Brandon

I got that once new dial-peer added and will add the connection plar to the voice ports. THANK YOU for all of your help!
05-12-2010 01:06 PM
Last one, I promise! What goes after "connection plar" on the voice ports?
I get this as options
WORD A string of digits including wild cards
opx Off-Premises eXtension PLAR
