This way you don't need a translation pattern. I have seen this save a few people problems in past when one day out of blue their provider was sending 10 digits instead of whatever their dialplan called for (4, 6, 7 digits, etc). <br><br>Also, if site is in SRST and/or MGCP fallback mode, be sure to handle this on the router for when CCM is not available so the phones in fallback can get the calls if needed. <br><br>Erick<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Jonathan Charles

that matches 4XXXX and passes XXXX to the 4-digit extensions on your network.<br><br>Jonathan<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/19/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">kevin k</b> <<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="mailto:kds850@gmail.com">kds850@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> the provider is passing only 4 digits. i remember reading where it states 4 or 5 digits will be passed from the provider.<br>and this debug confirm that i guess.<br></blockquote></div></div><br></div></div><br>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
