Configuring Number Expansion
Number expansion configuration allows you to provision patterns that expand an extension number to its full E.164 telephone number. You can also use number expansion to strip numbers. You may want to manipulate the telephone number to match global dialing patterns and to route SIP requests accordingly.
Number expansion requires no precedence so ordering is not required. Instead the SIP Proxy processes the rules from the most specific to the least specific.
