E.164 Attendant Console Transfer to VM.

[Gregory Brunn]

I have a CUAC deployment that uses E.164 numbers.  Works great but having problems trying prefix a * to send to vm via clicking transfer to vm. CTIRP exist and CUAC to configure to prefix * but it looks like this feature might not work. with CUCM or CUAC.  Everything I try I get a invalid destination

Anyone know if there is has been any type work around established for this.  Found the following from 2012. Anyone know anything more recent about this.

This E.164 dialing the recommendation in the SRNDs this feature not working seems off to me.

Hi Greg,

Have you tried changing the Max number of Digits under General configuration on Attendant Console webadmin page. Make sure you have 12(E.164) + 1(*) = 13, configured to accept * while dialling to Call Manager. When you are dialling, dial it using your keyboard (just under Active call section), eg, *+1408895XXXX. You would see only *+1408895XXX being dialed out in traces if it incorrectly configured.

Also, the CSS/Partitions needs to be taken care of. Check if the *+E.164 dialing works from your local device (IPphone). This would isolate if the issue is with call routing on CM or Attendant Console. I have the same setup and it works.

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Hitesh,

After assigning a *+1E.164 speed dial to my phone I realized that the phone could not dial the *+1.64 pattern.

I re-examed my CTI route point and it was wrong. Looks like the + was being seen as a wild card. I went to correct the issue and got the error message of Add failed. + may only be used at the start of a DN. IT is not valid after the first digit. See attached screen shot.

How did you get past this restriction?  I trust you that it is working for you lab but I am failing to see how to overcome this problem.  Did you create a application dial rule to get past the issue of not being able to create *+ dn on a CTIRP.

Looks like it has worked for others in the following link.. https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12105906/unity-connection-direct-transfer-voicemail-e164-extensions

Just wanted to verify with you.

Thank you for your time.

Just in case anyone else reads this post.

I actually used a translation rule in a partition that the phone had access to take *+.1 and 10 digitws number and strip predot and then prefix a * so the number would match the CTIRP that works for normal * 10 digits.
