Configuring a Route Pattern

A route pattern allows a Unified CM-managed device to access another device by dialing its number. Such devices may include gateways, Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch (CTMS) systems, or Cisco Unified Video Conferencing (CUVC) units. Each device requires its own unique route pattern.

To configure a route pattern:

Step 1 Click Call Routing. Under Route/Hunt, click Route Pattern.

Step 2 Click the Add New button at the bottom or click the + sign at the top of the Route Pattern Configuration page.
