You can configure the number of calling search spaces that display in this drop-down list box by using the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter. If more calling search spaces exist than the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter specifies, the ellipsis button (...) displays next to the drop-down list box. Click the ... button to display the Select Calling Search Space window. Enter a partial calling search space name in the List items where Name contains field. Click the desired calling search space name in the list of calling search spaces that displays in the Select item to use box and click OK.
Note To set the maximum list box items, choose System > Enterprise Parameters and enter a value for Max List Box Items in the CCMAdmin Parameters pane.

AAR Calling Search Space
|
Choose the appropriate calling search space for the device to use when it performs automated alternate routing (AAR). The AAR calling search space specifies the collection of route partitions that are searched to determine how to route a collected (originating) number that is otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth.
|
Location
|
Choose the appropriate location for this device. The location specifies the total bandwidth that is available for calls to and from this location. A location setting of None means that the locations feature does not keep track of the bandwidth that this device consumes.
|
AAR Group
|
Choose the automated alternate routing (AAR) group for this device. The AAR group provides the prefix digits that are used to route calls that are otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth. An AAR group setting of None specifies that no rerouting of blocked calls will be attempted.
|
Network Locale
|
From the drop-down list box, choose the locale that is associated with the gateway. The network locale identifies a set of detailed information to support the hardware in a specific location. The network locale contains a definition of the tones and cadences that the device uses in a specific geographic area.
Note Choose only a network locale that is already installed and that the associated devices support. The list contains all available network locales for this setting, but not all are necessarily installed. If the device is associated with a network locale that it does not support in the firmware, the device will fail to come up.

Transmit UTF-8 for Calling Party Name
|
This device uses the user locale setting of the device's device pool to determine whether to send Unicode and whether to translate received Unicode information.
For the sending device, if you check this check box and the user locale setting in the device's device pool matches the terminating phone's user locale, the device sends Unicode. If the user locale settings do not match, the device sends ASCII.
The receiving device translates incoming Unicode characters based on the user locale setting of the sending device's device pool. If the user locale setting matches the terminating phone's user locale, the phone displays the characters.
Note The phone may display junk characters if the two ends of the trunk configure user locales that do not belong to the same language group.

Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) Information
|
MLPP Domain
|
From the drop-down list box, choose an MLPP domain to associate with this device. If you leave the value <None>, this device inherits its MLPP domain from the value set for the device's device pool. If the device pool does not have an MLPP Domain setting, this device inherits its MLPP Domain from the value set for the MLPP Domain Identifier enterprise parameter.
|
MLPP Indication
|
This setting is not available on all devices. If available, this setting specifies whether a device that can play precedence tones will use the capability when it places an MLPP precedence call.
From the drop-down list box, choose a setting to assign to this device from the following options:
•Default—This device inherits its MLPP indication setting from its device pool.
•Off—This device does not handle nor process indication of an MLPP precedence call.
•On—This device does handle and process indication of an MLPP precedence call.
Note Do not configure a device with the following combination of settings: MLPP Indication is set to Off or Default (when default is Off) while MLPP Preemption is set to Forceful.
|
MLPP Preemption
|
This setting is not available on all devices. If available, this setting specifies whether a device that can preempt calls in progress will use the capability when it places an MLPP precedence call.
From the drop-down list box, choose a setting to assign to this device from the following options:
•Default—This device inherits its MLPP preemption setting from its device pool.
•Disabled—This device does not allow preemption of lower precedence calls to take place when necessary for completion of higher-precedence calls.
•Forceful—This device allows preemption of lower precedence calls to take place when necessary for completion of higher precedence calls.
Note Do not configure a device with the following combination of settings: MLPP Indication is set to Off or Default (when default is Off) while MLPP Preemption is set to Forceful.

Port Information (POTS)
|
Port Direction
|
Choose the direction of calls that are passing through this port:
•Inbound—Use for incoming calls only.
•Outbound—Use for outgoing calls.
•Bothways—Use for inbound and outbound calls (default).
|
Prefix DN
(for FXS ports)
|
Enter the prefix digits that are appended to the digits that this trunk receives on incoming calls.
Cisco Unified CallManager adds prefix digits after first truncating the number in accordance with the Num Digits setting.
|
Num Digits
(for FXS ports)
|
Enter the number of significant digits to collect, from 0 to 32.
Cisco Unified CallManager counts significant digits from the right (last digit) of the number called.
