Dial-Peer Prefix Digits

[williams.jeff]

I have a site that is in a 7-digit dial area, but *apparently* the LEC want us to send them 10 digits. I know how do this in CallManager, but how do I set this up for SRST? My current dial-peer is configured this way:

dial-peer voice 1 pots

description SRST Primary Dial Peer

preference 1

application default

destination-pattern 9T

incoming called-number .

direct-inward-dial

port 4/0:23

I'm running 12.3T and was thinking of using the prefix command, but I'm concerned that it'll apply to inbound calls as well, and the docs I've read don't really say...

TIA,

Jeff

You can use the prefix command on the pots dial-peer and this will affect only outbound calls. Inbound calls will not be affected by the prefix command.

Thanks. Another potential problem occured to me last night... can I exclude 911 from the prefix?

Hi,

Create a separate dial-peer for 911 and 411 calls.

For example:

Dial-peer voice 3 pots

destination-pattern 9[4,9]11

no digit-strip

direct-inward-dial

port 1/0:23

forward-digits 3

Thanks for the replies... I ran into yet another snag when trying this: LD (I didn't want the local area code prefixed on those calls). Finally gave up the whole concept and was going to tell the users to just dial the full 10 digits when in SRST, but it works with 7 in SRST with my original dial-peer. It doesn't when it's registered with CCM, but it does as a stand-alone. Any ideas what's going on?

Try to add a RP in your call manager with a filter for 7 digit dial.

You should probably setup different dialpeers for each unique pattern. This also gets around the inter-digit timeout issues. Following would be a good starting point:

dial-peer voice 1000 pots

application mgcpapp

incoming called-number .

direct-inward-dial

port 1/0:23

dial-peer voice 9000 pots

corlist outgoing 911-R

destination-pattern 911

port 1/0:23

forward-digits 3

dial-peer voice 9001 pots

corlist outgoing 911-R

destination-pattern 9911

port 1/0:23

forward-digits 3

dial-peer voice 9002 pots

corlist outgoing Local-R

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

port 1/0:23

forward-digits 7

dial-peer voice 9003 pots

corlist outgoing LD-R

destination-pattern 91[2-9]..[2-9]......

port 1/0:23

forward-digits 10

dial-peer voice 9004 pots

corlist outgoing Intl-R

destination-pattern 9011T

port 1/0:23

prefix 011

***********

To address the issue of adding the area code, you could probably do it a couple ways. You might be able to just do a 'prefix

voice translation-rule 1

rule 1 /^92/ /5552/

rule 2 /^93/ /5553/

rule 3 /^94/ /5554/

rule 4 /^95/ /5555/

rule 5 /^96/ /5556/

rule 6 /^97/ /5557/

rule 7 /^98/ /5558/

rule 8 /^99/ /5559/

voice translation-profile Prefix555_SRST

translate called 1

dial-peer voice 9002 pots

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

port 1/0:23

translation-profile out Prefix555_SRST

Good luck,
