Route Pattern
The route pattern identifies a dialed number (E.164 numbers in North America)
and uses the underlying route list and route group configurations to determine
how to route the call. A route pattern can be entered as a specific number or, more
commonly, a number range. Using a route pattern to represent a number range
minimizes the number of entries required.
When a route pattern matches a dialed number, the call is handed to the route list
associated with the route pattern. Prior to handing the call to the route list, digit
manipulation can occur if digits need to be added to or removed from the matched
route pattern. The route list then decides which downstream route groups (trunk
groups) should receive the call based on the ordered priority.
Note The digit manipulation occurs in the route pattern for outbound calls
only, before being sent to the route list plus route groups. Individual
downstream route groups can have unique digit manipulations for
the same route pattern. This is extremely useful where different
routes to a given dialed number might require different
manipulations. For example, users might be required to dial seven
digits to reach a remote location that has a four-digit internal dial
plan. Across the IP WAN the first three digits would have to be
removed, so that the last four digits could be delivered to the remote
Cisco CallManager in its native internal dial-string length. If the IP
WAN were down or could not accept additional voice calls, the
dialed seven digits would have to be prepended with the area code
to reach the called party through the PSTN. A route pattern is
associated with only one route list.
