Common Destination-Pattern Options
The destination pattern associates a telephone number with a given dial peer. The destination
pattern also determines the dialed digits that the router collects and forwards to the remote
telephony interface, such as a PBX, Cisco CallManager, or the PSTN. You must configure a
destination pattern for each POTS and VoIP dial peer that you define on the router.
The destination pattern can indicate a complete telephone number, a partial telephone number
with wildcard digits, or it can point to a range of numbers defined in a variety of ways.
Destination-pattern options include the following:
Plus sign (+): An optional character that indicates an E.164 standard number. E.164 is the
International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-
T) recommendation for the international public telecommunication numbering plan. The
plus sign in front of a destination-pattern string specifies that the string must conform to
E.164.
string: A series of digits specifying the E.164 or private dial-plan telephone number. The
examples below show the use of special characters that are often found in destination
pattern strings:
— An asterisk (*) and pound sign (#) appear on standard touch-tone dial pads. These
characters may need to be used when passing a call to an automated application that
requires these characters to signal the use of a special feature. For example, when
calling an interactive voice response (IVR) system that requires a code for access,
the number dialed might be “5551212888#”, which would initially dial the
telephone number “5551212” and input a code of “888” followed by the pound key
to terminate the IVR input query.
