<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve worked with clusters with different types of dial
plans, some with planned out dial plans where things were nicely segmented
where every location had a defined set of extensions, and where a user could
easily know where an extension was by its number, etc. In that sort of system we
had DIDs and used translation patterns to convert them to the proper
extensions. Suffice it to say in no case did anything more than the last 2
digits of the DIDs match the extension it corresponded to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Then there’s the other end, Extensions were all setup
based on the DIDs provided by the telco and I couldn’t tell you whether
extension AAAA is at Campus A or Campus B let alone what building at each
campus (ok not quite that bad but a newbie would struggle mightily)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>How do other people here handle this? Do you do my first
scenario and plan out as much as you can or ?? What would you do if you came
into a system like the second one I mentioned, I really would like to redo the
entire thing, but how feasible is that. Ideally I would use my test server and
rebuild the entire thing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts, ideas, etc, appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
