Hi everyone,
I set up an AA service for a client where a call comes into a PRI, hits a CTI RP which has CFwAll to the VM pilots. This part works just fine and a custom greeting is played. Users are able to dial to any extension on CUCM if they want to while the greeting is being played.
The customer also has a CME that provides basic telephony services to a set of users (extensions 8xx). These users do need outgoing PSTN connectivity, but they would like to be able to receive calls from callers who hit the AA. These callers should be able to dial the extensions of the CME users when they hit the AA greeting.
I read some previous posts that said I need to do the following to achieve this:
1) Create a contact and check the box titled: "Transfer extension" and enter the extension to which the call should be transferred. I created a test contact with extension 314. In CUCM, this extension 314 has CFwAll set to an 8xx extension. The reason for this is that they do not have a PRI with 8xx DIDs, so I have configured certain 3xx DIDs to forward all calls to 8xx extensions.
2) Under the AA standard greeting, check the box titled: "Allow Transfers to Numbers Not Associated with Users or Call Handlers." I checked this box.
3) Under restriction tables, uncheck "Blocked" next to "*" and any other patter that may match the extension to which the call needs to be transferred. I unchecked this box and added a new rule at the top of the list with the following pattern: "314" (exact match for testing purposes).
Whenever I try to enter "314" at the greeting menu, there is a slight pause and the following message is played "You cannot be transferred to this number. Check the number and try again."
As a side note, extension 314 does not have a partition assigned to it, so it should be accessible by the VM ports. Also, they're using SCCP integration and are running CUCM 9.x and Unity Connection 9.x
Is there something I am missing here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Asad
