Customer does not want to use access codes in a new CME...

[vpsalazar]

My customer has new CME's that all of a sudden, they no longer want to use "dial 9" access codes to make calls. We have two in state "local" area codes (10 digit), and everything else is 1+.  Do I create Dial Peers or Translations tables to make this work? Dial 9 is simple, and I've used other features in other systems to do this, but my CME experience is limited.  CUCM is more my style.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi vpsalazar,

Dial peers are simple enough. See if these POTS dial peers guide you in the right direction.

Just one question.

what is a trunkgroup. I recently took a CME class and they didn't talk about it.

other than that the dial peers he gave you should work

Hi Joshuabowers,

Trunkgroups are just logical ports.  So instead of configuring a bunch of fxo/fxs individually, you can use trunkgroups and assign each fxo/fxs to them and then just use the trunkgroup when you configure.

Simple example:

trunk group POTS

description TRUNK GROUP FXO

hunt-scheme sequential

voice-port 0/0/1

trunkgroup POTS

voice-port 0/0/2

trunkgroup POTS

dial-peer voice 1001 pots

trunkgroup POTS

description PSTN Local - Information

destination-pattern 9[2-8]11

forward-digits 3

dial-peer voice 1002 pots

trunkgroup POTS

description PSTN Local - Local

destination-pattern 9[2-9]..[2-9]......

forward-digits 10
