Direct Outward Dial on CME 3.1

cybrsage · ‎09-01-2004

I am at a complete loss. Cisco want 800 USD to help me.

I need to setup Direct Outward Dial on my CME 3.1 (3725). I need to have one of my two POTS lines show up on the telephones mapped to a button.

I have searched for quite a while, and tried most everything I can think of. I have failed.

Any help is appreciated!

It is not clear to me what you are trying to accomplish, but it sounds like a scenerio I deploy on a regular basis.

If you want to force a particular DN to use a specific analog fxo line for outbound calls, simply create a translation pattern and apply it to the ephone-dn. Basically, you will be prepending a '1#' to the dialed phone number and have a specific dial-peer matching 1# using the fxo voice port as a destination. For example:

!

translation-rule 1

Rule 0 ^.* 1#

!

translation-rule 2

Rule 0 ^.* 2#

!

dial-peer voice 100 pots

destination-pattern 1#0

port 1/0/0

forward-digits 1

!

dial-peer voice 101 pots

destination-pattern 1#1..........

port 1/0/0

forward-digits 11

!

dial-peer voice 102 pots

destination-pattern 1#[2-9]......

port 1/0/0

forward-digits 7

!

dial-peer voice 103 pots

destination-pattern 1#[4,9]11

port 1/0/0

forward-digits 3

!

dial-peer voice 200 pots

destination-pattern 2#0

port 1/0/1

forward-digits 1

!

dial-peer voice 201 pots

destination-pattern 2#1..........

fax rate disable

port 1/0/1

forward-digits 11

!

dial-peer voice 202 pots

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

port 1/0/1

forward-digits 7

!

dial-peer voice 203 pots

destination-pattern 2#[4,9]11

port 1/0/1

forward-digits 3

!

ephone-dn 1

number 1001

label Line 1

description 555-1212

name Line 1

call-forward busy 7000

call-forward noan 7000 timeout 15

translate called 1

hold-alert 120 idle

!

ephone-dn 2

number 1002

label Line 2

description 555-1213

name Line 2

call-forward busy 7000

call-forward noan 7000 timeout 15

translate called 2

hold-alert 120 shared

In addition, when you do this you usually want to do the same in reverse: a specific fxo port to ring a specific line when an inbound call comes in, you do this with the connection plar-opx command on the fxo voice port, for example:

!

voice-port 1/0/0

input gain 10

no comfort-noise

connection plar opx 1001

caller-id enable type 1

!

voice-port 1/0/1

input gain 10

no comfort-noise

connection plar opx 1002

caller-id enable type 1

!

Let me know if I'm on the right track...

I think so. I am having problems following the flow, as I am new to this.

I want it to act as a key system (think that is the right term). I want to be able to put an outside line on everyone's phone as a button. It shoud ring as if it was a DID to everyone's phone, and when they push the button they go directly out (no 9, etc).

I will use what you have posted and let you know!

Thank you SO very much.

It looks like you need to upgrade to CME 3.2. Take a look at this http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5207/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00802d241a.html#wp2245629

it should help

I would definitely NOT use the CME 3.2 direct FXO trunk feature to perform direct outward dial (DOD) using a CCME router. The reasons for this are clearly outlined in the same link provided above that describes the feature.

This feature is very limited and essentially eliminates most of the CCME IP Telephony features such as call hold, 3-party conferences, transfer, forward, etc. This is because this feature bypasses most of the CCME and IOS Symphony features and provides dialtone directly from the FXO port. I'm not even sure you can restrict dialed numbers using COR, etc.

I would stick to my previous post regarding a CCME setup that works under even ITS 2.1 that keeps all of the CCME features as well as provides DOD.
