IMPORTANT

Running the DM/PM rules is CPU- and memory-intensive because each rule is issued for every sub-rule linearly. If you do not use DM/PM rules sparingly, it becomes difficult to manage the number of DM/PM rules or sub-rules applied to a call. Ribbon recommends issuing no more than 80-100 sub-rules per call.

In this section:

Use this window to define rules for standard digit manipulation (DM), Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) digit manipulation, and parameter manipulation (PM).

To View DM PM Rule

On the SBC main screen, go to Configuration > System Provisioning > Category: Call Routing > Profiles > Digit Parameter Handling > DM PM Rule. The DM PM Rule window is displayed.

To Edit DM PM Rule

To edit any of the DM PM Rule in the list, click the radio button next to the specific DM PM Rule name.

The Edit Selected DM PM Rule window is displayed below. You would not be able to edit any of the fields as the fields are read only.

To Create DM PM Rule

To create a new DM PM Rule, click New DM PM Rule tab on the DM PM Rule List panel.

The Create New DM PM Rule window is displayed.

Digit String Manipulation
Start Digit PositionThe first position within the complete number specified in Digit Type field to start the comparison with value specified in the Match Value field. The start digit position 0 is the left-most digit of the complete number. (range: 0-2147483647 / default = 0).
Number of DigitsTotal number of digits to use for comparison. For example, if the start digit position is 0 and the number of digits specified is 3, reading from left to right, the ERE would use the first, second, and third digits of the complete number for the comparison. (range: 0-2147483647 / default = 0).
Action

  • addDestinationCountry
  • addIngressTrunkGroupCountry
  • addOriginatingCountry
  • none (default)
Replacement
Type

Specifies the type of replacement:

  • Constant
