Route Filter Configuration Settings
Route filters, along with route patterns/hunt pilots, use dialed-digit strings to determine how a call is
handled. Route filters only apply when you configure a pattern that contains the at (@) wildcard. When
the route pattern/hunt pilot contains the @ wildcard, Cisco Unified Communications Manager routes
calls according to the numbering plan that is speci fied i n th e Numb er i ng Pl an drop- down l ist bo x. Th e
route filter window that Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays varies according to the
numbering plan that you select.
Route filters allow you to determine which route patterns/hunt pilots your users can dial; for example,
whether your users can manually choose a long-distance carr ier (by diali ng 101 p l us a ca rri er a cce ss
code).
Refer to “Understanding Route Plans” in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for
more information.
Tip Always add and define the route filter first and then add the route filter to the route pattern/hunt pil ot.
