264 CHAPTER 9: CONFIGURING DIAL PLANS, PATTERNS, AND DIAL RULES
also dial the full extension to reach a user at the local site unless you
configure number translation to drop the site prefix. With number
translation configured on each site, a user can dial a four-digit number
(10nn) to reach other local users. Note that the dial plan in effect for
users must allow a four-digit dial string.
You can use the VCX Administrator application to manage number
translation on either the USERS interface or the DIRECTORY interface.
This section describes how to configure number translation through the
USERS interface. Number translation configured through the USERS
interface does not appear on the DIRECTORY interface. Number
translation configured through the DIRECTORY interface allows you to
associate number translation with source-based routing. See Configuring
Number Translation Patterns (DIRECTORY).
Enabling a Number
Translation Pattern
This section describes how to set up number translation. Using the site
prefix drop example described in the previous section, Configuring
Number Translation (USERS), the resulting translation pattern allows users
with six-digit extensions starting with 64 to dial the last four digits for
local calls (calls to phones serviced by the same call processor).
To enable a number translation pattern:
1From the Central Manager, select the VCX server on which you want to
add number translation (see Accessing a VCX Site through the Central
Manager).
The USERS interface is enabled and the Users page appears. This page
lists all the users configured on this server. The menu options for the
USERS interface appear on the left side of the window.
2Click Number Translation.
The Number Translations page appears listing all the currently configured
translation patterns. See Figure 100.
