Unmask a number

[JAYESH RAMAIYA]

How do I unmask a number so that when an external number is dialed the whole number shows.

You need to start by telling what you're using and version (CUCM/CME/etc)

You always need to provide such information when asking.

Hi

Thanks for the reply

I am using CUCM 6.1.3 and currently need only one number to show when making external calls.

Thank you

Configure that number under the calling party transformation mask in the route pattern/route list you're using for outbound calls.

Thanks for the reply.

Will this need to be done on the router.

Can I not do this in CM Gui?

[Jaime Valencia]

That IS in the CUCM gui.

Would I need to configure anything on the router?

Hi,

There are many places where you can control the OUTGOING calling number CLI

On CUCM in your gateway you will see a section for OUTGOING calls

Look at this setting

Caller ID DN

Enter the pattern that you want to use for calling line ID, from 0 to 24 digits. For example, in North America: •555XXXX = Variable calling line ID, where X equals an extension number. The CO appends the number with the area code if you do not specify it. •5555000 = Fixed calling line ID. Use when you want the Corporate number to be sent instead of the exact extension from which the call is placed. The CO appends the number with the area code if you do not specify it.

In here you put bin the number to present to the PSTN for outgoing calls

In the UK this would be something like 015234561234

This is the LAST place on CUCM where you can make this calling number change.

You do not usually have to add any more config to the IOS router/gateway.

The caveat is that the number must belong to the line or group of lines you are calling out on as per your service providers set up.. So if you dont own this number you can not send it.
