Communications Manager Express Voice Translation Rules

The Cisco link is here.

The idea is that you can transform dialed or dialing numbers on phones or gateways using these methods.

First, create a translation rule:

voice translation-rule number
 rule precedence /match-pattern/ /replace-pattern/

Example:

voice translation-rule 10
 rule 1 /1235551111/ /1235552222/

Then create a translation profile:

voice translation-profile name
 translate {called | calling | redirect-called | redirect-target} translation-rule-number

Example:

voice translation-profile incoming-transformation
 translate called 10

I applied it to a voice gateway:

voice-port 0/0/0:23
 translation-profile direction profile-name

Example:

voice-port 0/0/0:23
 translation-profile incoming incoming-transformation

Remember that on the translation profile to set called or calling properly…It’s the little things 😉
