290 CHAPTER 10: CONFIGURING ROUTING AND TRANSLATION SERVICES
6Configure a route plan to associate a pattern and a route.
In this example, you would create five route plans:
IPMplan1 — Associates IPMRoute1 with the pattern 5*.
IPMplan2 — Associates IPMRoute2 with the pattern 6*.
IPMplan3 — Associates IPMRoute3 with the pattern 7*.
IPMplan4 — Associates IPMRoute4 with the pattern 8*.
IPMplan5 — Associates IPMRoute5 with the pattern 9*.
For instructions, see Adding a Route Plan.
Note that a user typically accesses his or her voice mailbox by pressing the
telephone MSG button. A user can also access his or her voice mailbox by
dialing the voicemail access number of a different client. This is useful if
an IP Messaging client is unavailable. Using the example, if the first IP
Messaging client goes offline, a user who normally presses the MSG
button to access voicemail on this client can, instead, dial 7000 to access
his or her voice mailbox. However, the dial plan assigned to the user’s
phone must include the dial rule that allows this dial string (see
Configuring Dial Rules).
Configuring Patterns (DIRECTORY)
Patterns are used by the VCX call processor to route calls to the correct
destination. For example, in a multi-site VCX system, you can create a dial
rule for each region that includes a site prefix. You then create a pattern
based on the site prefix and create a route plan that associates the
pattern with a route to a specific call processor (end point). See Route
Plan Configuration Requirements for more information.
You can use the VCX Administrator provisioning application to manage
patterns through either the DIRECTORY interface or the USERS interface.
A pattern configured through the DIRECTORY interface also appears on
the USERS interface. A pattern configured through the USERS interface
also appears on the DIRECTORY interface. The Patterns menu option on
both pages displays the same set of configuration pages; only the access
point is different.
To add, edit, and delete patterns:
1From the Central Manager, select the VCX server on which you want to
add a pattern (see Accessing a VCX Site through the Central Manager).
The USERS interface is enabled and the Users page appears.
