Administering dial plan settings on a per-switch basis

About this task

AE Services uses the dial plan information to convert E.164 phone numbers to switch extensions (From TelURI) and switch extensions to E.164 phone numbers (To TelURI).

noteNote

If your AE Services and Microsoft LCS/Lync configuration uses a number of switches that all have the same dial plan, use the procedure described in Administering default dial plan settings. By using the default settings, you enter the dial plan settings only once.

Follow this procedure to administer the dial plan settings for a switch connection you have already administered in AE Services.

Procedure

  1. From the AE Services Management Console main menu, select Communication Manager Interface > Dial Plan > Switch Administration.
  2. From the Switch Dial Plan Administration page, select the connection name for the switch you want to administer, for example aeslcswitch, and click Detail.
  3. On the Dial Plan Settings - Conversion Rules for aeslcswitch page, in the From TelURI section, click Add.
  4. From the Add Dial Plan - aeslcswitch page, follow these steps to complete the From TelURI settings, based on your dial plan.
