Uniform dial plan
You can also set up a Uniform Dialing Plan that can be shared among a group of servers. For more
information, see
Uniform Dial Plan on page 1749.
Multi-Location Dial Plan
When a customer migrates from a multiple independent node network to a single distributed server
whose gateways are distributed across a data network, it may initially appear as if some dial plan
functions are no longer available.
The multi-location dial plan feature preserves dial plan uniqueness for extensions and attendants that
were provided in a multiple independent node network, but appear to be unavailable when customers
migrate to a single distributed server. This feature is available beginning with Communication Manager,
release 2.0.
For example, in a department store with many locations, each location might have had its own switch
with a multiple independent node network. The same extension could be used to represent a unique
department in all stores (extension 4567 might be the luggage department). If the customer migrates to a
single distributed server, a user could no longer dial 4567 to get the luggage department in their store. The
user would have to dial the complete extension to connect to the proper department.
Instead of having to dial a complete extension, the multi-location dial plan feature allows a user to dial a
shorter version of the extension. For example, a customer can continue to dial 4567 instead of having to
dial 123-4567.
Communication Manager takes the location prefix and adds those digits to the front of the dialed number.
The switch then analyzes the entire dialed string and routes the call based on the administration on the
Dial Plan Parameters form.
NOTE:
Before you can administer the multi-location dial plan feature, the
Multiple Locations
field on the Optional Features screen must be enabled. To check if this is enabled, use the
display system-parameters customer-options
command. The
Multiple Locations
field
is on page 3 of the Optional Features screen.
