In this section:

Use this screen to define criteria for applying DM/PM (digit manipulation/ parameter manipulation) rules. You can also use this screen to define criteria for applying URI manipulation rules.

For digit manipulation, the matching criteria can be digits in the calling or called numbers, outpulse numbers from SCP queries, generic numbers, and so on. For example, you can provision the SBC 7000 to check if the first three digits of the calling number are 617, or to check if digits 4 through 6 are 723.

For parameter manipulation, the matching criteria is based on the specified parameter type. For example, you can provision the SBC 5400 series to match a specified Calling Party Category (CPC), or match a specified Originating Line Information Parameter (OLIP) value.

To View DM/PM Criteria

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

• Doesnt Exist—The SBC applies the associated PM rule if the parameter is not present in the call parameters.
