I would honestly do a translation on the gateway. IMHO it is much easier to do translations on the gateway and this then allows you the simplicity of simply taking out 10 lines of a config and rebooting rather then going through the GUI and deleting 10 different translation patterns.

We recently acquired a bunch of smaller offices and brough them into<br>our CallManager system. We allowed them to keep their POTS lines and<br>their DID numbers at the times in each of the different offices. This<br>created a big cluster within our cluster. :-) As we now had
<br>extensions all over the place rather then within a nice simple range.<br><br>Anyway, I have finally recieved permission to begin cleaning this all<br>up. First order of business was securing a new DID range in which I
<br>will place them all in allowing for a simple and consistent flow or<br>group of numbers if you will.<br><br>I am not trying to figure out the best way to assign the new DID's and<br>therefore new four digit extensions to these offices. Each office is
<br>group in CallManager as a location. I hope to do one location at a<br>time.<br><br>The biggest issue is I have to maintain a callforward or phantom<br>forward of their old extension for three months. So basically I<br>
configure someones phone with the new extension then have their old<br>extension forward to the new one.<br><br>I ask for advice and suggestions to see how others might handle this,<br>as this list contains some very knowledgeable indiviuals with some
<br>great ideas regarding all things Cisco VoIP related and it amazes me<br>some of the suggestions and advice given here for things. I often see<br>wonderful information on how to accomplish something, or even simply a<br>
better way of doing the same thing some times.<br><br>I know their are ways to export all the phones say in a location to a<br>file and then manipulate the file and then import it, but I am not<br>sure how or if that is the ideal thing.
<br><br>Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciate, trying to<br>automate or simplify the process as much as possible.<br><br>Regards,<br>Dane<br>_______________________________________________<br>cisco-voip mailing list
