Table 0-25	Syntax Examples
Rule		Original Number	New Number
2189, 1189		2189	1189
3189, 1189		3189	1189
4189, 1189		4189	1189
2???, 1???		2189	1189
		2291	1291
3???, 1???		3189	1189
		3291	1291
8???, 61???		8000	61000
		8765	61765
123*, 44*		12300	4400
		12385	4485

Cisco Unity executes rules in the order they appear in the .exm file. For example, the .exm file might contain the following rules:

1234, 1189 3189, 1189 4189, 1189 123?, 8891

The extension 1234 would be remapped to 1189 while extensions 1233 and 1235 would be remapped to 8891, because the rule mapping 1234 appears earlier.

An .exm file might contain the following:

[Range] ports=1,2,5-34

[Number Mappings] 2189, 1189 3189, 1189 4189, 1189 8???, 9???
