[cisco-voip] CUCM 7

[Craig Staffin]

Michael,

I did an install of CM7 last week.

It is very close to 6 however it does add some really important features.

Now on the route patterns you can select what kind of ISDN type/plan to send
the call as instead of doing in H323 translations.

It also adds FULL support for E.164 number plans.  In other words you can
normalize everything within the system to use a + sign and then strip it if
the telco does not want to see it.  This is a big deal if you plan on ever
integrating with Microsoft OCS  Or if you do anything international.
