Help with BCM routing

[knbink]

Hi all

Can anyone help me out with Universal Dialing Plan or how to setup CDP with 6 sites and each site with same extensions.

Thank you.

If you have multiple sites with the same dns then you either have to do some dn changing or use udp.

i want to use UDP but i dont realy know the settings how are done.

Can you give me an example of how the settings for udp are?

Thanks.

 

[knbink]

more information i can provide.
All of the sites except 1 is BCM 50.

Please help.

Basicaly are you have to do is decide on a leading digit or 2 for each site for example all systems start with DN 221 for site A
create a destination code of 4 absorb all. Site B crate destination code of 5 absorb all. So on and so on. Inform the staff of the first digit to the site.

 

[knbink]

ok thanks.

I will try that and get back to you.

So what you are saying is just to create destination code for each site, and it doesnt matter if the sites have same DN or not?

Is this UDP routing or CDP?

Thanks.

Set it up as CFO

It's only dialtone!!!

 

[vztech]

Sorry cdp

It's only dialtone!!!

 

[knbink]

ok i tried that, but i didnt succeed. Can you please give me an example between 2 sites?

Lets say Site A, BCM 50, i want destination code 30
Site B, BCM 50, i want destination code 40

both sites have extensions 2001-2200.

Thank you in advance.

 

[knbink]

please give me example of which numbers to use in the VoIP trunks destination digit for each site, and what to put in Routing in order to use this destination codes between the sites.

Thank you in advance.

If you are using CDP then each site must start with a unique digit. Site A (2), B (3), ect ect. Then when you build your route you'll mark it as a Private Route. No need to absorb any digits when you build the desti and point it to the route.

 

[knbink]

i know about using unique digits for each site.
I am managing at the moment 5 sites, and they all have unique digit, but the customer wants to add 4 more, and this is starting to complicate things.

Also, he wants to use location code and all to start with a same digit (2) and the length to be 4 digits, ex. 2001, but in order to dial between sites, to use location code.

so these leads to UDP, but unfortunately i am not able to find any example on how to setup UDP.

 

[56BelAir]

dont forget to add your IP trunk routing under Telephony services
you will need to add your site info there as well.

 

[knbink]

56BelAir are you talking about UDP or CDP with same extensions on each site?

 

[SupportDude]

UDP requires a 3 digit site code.
What are the DN ranges for each of the current sites?
If you've managed the dialing plan properly, you may be able to use CDP.
Provide your site DN ranges and I can provide an example.

[knbink]

The current DN ranges are 2001-2200 Site A, 3001-3200 Site B, 4001-4200 Site C, 5001-5200 Site D, 6001-6200 Site E.

I want to make each site to be with the range 2001-2200.

Please if you can provide example with UDP it will help me a lot.

Thanks

Im sorry maybe I missed something but why would you want to do what you are propossing in your last post, you have a great CDP dial plan.

In either case you need to add destination codes in your routing table and add your site (IP addresses) and codes under Telephony services, Ip trunks. If you have other sites already built you will see info there.

If you go UDP its basiclly as if you are dialing the entire 7 digits so I would use the area code or Prefix for that city as my UDP code but that is silly, just use CDP.

 

[knbink]

56BelAir, i want to chance CDP to UDP, because they will be adding few more BCMs to the network, and i can not use anymore CDP with 4 digit extensions, and they dont want to change to 5 digit extensions.

Anyhow, i need to find a way to do something before they decide to put the new BCMs, because afterwards it will be a mess.

So if anyone can help me out with UDP, i will appreciate it.

Thanks for the help.

You don't have to stick with an entire block of 1000 numbers for each site. You can route those calls based on the first, second or third digits if you want and still keep the CDP setup if it works. Just settle on something like 21XX at one site 22XX at another 23XX etc etc. You simply have to route on 21 22 23 etc. That way you open up a lot of extension ranges.

 

[SupportDude]

You definitely don't want to go to UDP or your users will be dialing 7 digits site to site.
Go with what Telcodog suggested.

You can't go beyond 300 sets on a fully expanded BCM450, so allocate a range of 300 DN's per site.
Site A 2100-2399
Site B 2400-2699
Site C 2700-2999
Site D 3000-3299
This will allow you to use CDP and 4 digit dial site to site.

If you really want to use UDP, let us know.
