This chapter provide brief descriptions of selected Call Routing menu options. A pointer to documents that contain a more detailed description for each of these Call Routing menu options is provided.
In
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the
Call Routing >
Intercom > Intercom Route
Partition menu path to configure intercom partitions.
An intercom partition contains a list of route patterns
[directory number (DN) and route patterns]. Partitions facilitate call routing
by dividing the route plan into logical subsets that are based on organization,
location, and call type. For more information about partitions, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
For more information about intercom partitions, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Intercom calling search space setup
In
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the
Call Routing >
Intercom > Intercom Calling Search
Space menu path to configure intercom calling search
spaces.
An intercom calling search space comprises an ordered list of
intercom calling search spaces that are typically assigned to devices. Intercom
calling search spaces determine the partitions that calling devices search when
they are attempting to complete a call.
For more detailed information on calling search spaces and
partitions, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide. For more
information about intercom and intercom calling search spaces, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Intercom directory number setup
In
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the
Call Routing >
Intercom > Intercom Directory
Number menu path to configure intercom directory
numbers.
Using
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, configure and modify intercom
directory numbers (DNs) that are assigned to specific phones.
For more information on how to configure intercom directory
numbers, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Intercom translation pattern setup
In
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the
Call Routing >
Intercom > Intercom Translation
Pattern menu path to configure intercom translation
patterns.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses translation
patterns to manipulate dialed digits before it routes a call. In some cases,
the system does not use the dialed number. In other cases, the public switched
telephone network (PSTN) does not recognize the dialed number.
For more information on how to configure intercom translation
patterns, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Access list setup
In
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the
Call Routing > Class of
Control > Access List menu path
to configure access lists.
Mobile Connect allows users to manage business calls using a
single phone number and pick up in-progress calls on the desktop phone and
cellular phone. Access lists determine the phone numbers that are explicitly
allowed or blocked for in-progress call transfers.
For more information on Mobile Connect and how to configure
access lists, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Client Matter Code setup
In
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the
Call Routing > Client
Matter Codes menu path to configure client matter
codes.
Client Matter Codes (CMC) assist with call accounting and
billing for billable clients. CMC force the user to enter a code to specify
that the call relates to a specific client matter. You can assign client matter
codes to customers, students, or other populations for call accounting and
billing purposes.
The CMC feature requires that you make changes to route
patterns and update your dial plan documents to reflect that you enabled or
disabled CMC for each route pattern. You can access the Client Matter Codes
search and configuration windows from
Call Routing > Client
Matter Codes in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
For detailed information about client matter codes, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
In
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the
Call Routing > Forced
Authorization Codes menu path to configure forced
authorization codes.
Forced Authorization Codes (FAC) allow you to manage call
access and accounting. This feature regulates the types of calls that certain
users can place by forcing the user to enter a valid authorization code before
the call completes.
The FAC feature requires that you make changes to route
patterns and update your dial plan documents to reflect that you enabled or
disabled FAC for each route pattern. You can access the Forced Authorization
Code search and configuration windows from
Call Routing > Forced
Authorization Codes in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
For detailed information about forced authorization codes,
see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
In
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the
Call Routing > Call
Par menu path to configure call park numbers.
The Call Park feature allows you to place a call on hold, so
it can be retrieved from another phone in the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager system (for example, a phone in
another office or in a conference room). If you are on an active call at your
phone, you can park the call to a call park extension by pressing the Park
softkey or the Call Park button. Someone on another phone in your system can
then dial the call park extension to retrieve the call.
For more information on how to use and configure the Call
Park feature, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Directed Call Park setup
In
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the
Call Routing > Directed
Call Park menu path to configure directed call park
numbers.
Directed Call Park allows a user to transfer a call to an
available user-selected directed call park number. Configure directed call park
numbers in the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Directed Call Park Configuration
window. Configured directed call park numbers exist clusterwide. You can
configure phones that support the directed call park Busy Lamp Field (BLF) to
monitor the busy/idle status of specific directed call park numbers. Users can
also use the BLF to speed dial a directed call park number.
A user can retrieve a parked call by dialing a configured
retrieval prefix followed by the directed call park number where the call is
parked.
For more information on how to use and configure the directed
call park feature, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Call Pickup Group setup
In
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the
Call Routing > Call Pickup
Group menu path to configure call pickup groups.
The Call Pickup Group menu option allows administrators to
configure call pickup groups. After end users are configured as member s of a
call pickup group, these users can answer a call that comes in on a directory
number other than their own. When a user hears an incoming call ringing on
another phone, the user can redirect the call to their own phone by using one
of the call pickup phone features.
Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running SCCP and SIP provide several types
of call pickup:
The Call Pickup feature allows users to pick up incoming calls
within their own group.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically dials the appropriate
call pickup group number when a user activates this feature on a phone.
The Group Call Pickup feature allows users to pick up incoming
calls in another group. Users must dial the appropriate call pickup group
number when they activate this feature on a phone.
The Other Group Pickup feature allows users to pick up incoming
calls in a group that is associated with their own group. When a phone rings in
a group that is associated with the user group,
Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically searches for the
incoming call in the associated groups when they activate this feature on a
phone.
The Directed Call Pickup feature allows a user to pick up an
incoming call on a directory number (DN) directly by pressing the GPickUp
softkey and entering the directory number.
The Busy Lamp Field (BLF) Call Pickup feature allows a user to
pick up a call that is directed to the DN that is associated with the BLF
button that is configured on the user
Cisco Unified IP Phone.
For more information on how to use and configure the various
Call Pickup features and how to configure call pickup groups, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Transformation profile setup
Cisco Intercompany Media Engine configuration comprises configuration of transformation profiles.
For more information, see the Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Installation and Configuration Guide.
Mobility setup
In
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the following menu paths
to configure
Cisco Unified Mobility configuration:
Mobile Connect allows users to manage business calls using a
single phone number and pick up in-progress calls on the desktop phone and
cellular phone. The Mobility Configuration window contains dual mode phone
handoff settings for call transfers between a user desktop phone and mobile
phone.
The Enterprise Feature Access Configuration window allows
you to configure the Enterprise Feature Access (EFA) number for
Cisco Unified Mobility calls.
The Handoff Mobility Configuration window allows you to
configure the handoff number that the system uses to hand off
Cisco Unified Mobility calls.
The Mobility Profile Configuration window allows you to
configure mobility profiles for
Cisco Unified Mobility users. The mobility profile of a user determines whether
user mobility calls use the Dial-via-Office Forward or Dial-via-Office Reverse
Callback feature for mobility calls.
For more information on Mobile Connect and how to configure
mobility settings for dual-mode phones, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Logical partitioning policy setup
