Purpose

This topic describes the steps to add, modify, or delete dialing rule packages.

Dialing rules are associated with a call server and define how numbers (digit strings) are manipulated.

Features

Dialing rules are used to manipulate digits for the following features:

How dialing rules work

A digit string that is received by the Lucent CM system is processed according to the rules that are defined in the rule list. The Lucent CM system tries to find a match, starting with the first rule. The rules in a list are order dependent. When a match is found, the rule is applied and no further rules are processed.

The Lucent CM system uses 2 sets of dialing rules. One for processing incoming digits and one for processing outgoing digits.

Requirements

The maximum length of a dialing rule is 127 characters. This includes any comments.

There is no limit to the number of rules in a rules list.

The dialing rules that are defined on the Lucent CM, must resolve the same way that the dialing rules at the call server are setup.
