Controlling outbound caller ID in CME

[jeff.roback]

We're running Callmanager Express (CCME) 3.x with a Single PRI to the PSTN. Is it possible to have the CME control outbound caller ID (ANI) when sending calls to the PSTN via the PRI interface? For example, for some extensions (eg conference room) send the main pilot number, but for others send their actual DID?

From the documentation I've seen, in a full Callmanager scenario this is done in the call manager itself, not the gateway, and I haven't found an equivalent CME command.

You can do this with voice translation rules.

If you don't have dial plan pattern configured in CME. CME will send the calls out with the 4 digit extensions.

You can create a translation rule to replace your non did with the main pilot number and the extensions would go out with the regular did.

For example if you have the following DID's

408-555-1200 to 408-555-1219, and all your extensions are 4 digits.

You have some phones that do not have did's that are extension 1220, 1221.

You would apply the following voice translation rules and profiles to your outbound dial peers.

voice translation-rule 10

rule 1 /^12[2]./ /4085551200/

rule 2 /^12/ /40855512/

voice translation-profile maskdid

translate calling 10

dial-peer voice 10 pots

description local dialing

destination-pattern 9[2-9]......

translation-profile outgoing maskdid

port 0/0:23

forward-digits 7

Rule 1 changes your non did's to 4085551200, rule 2 just changes the did extensions to their did's.

Thanks for the info.. This is the most concise solution for this issue of masking DIDs on a CME. 

Awesome.. Simple fix.
