Configure Console Directory Rules to provide presence to directory number that do not match the extension in Cisco Communications Manager. For example, a user’s telephone number in the directory may be the full e.164, but the actual extension in CUCM could be a shortened 5 digit extension. Directory Rules can be used to map the directory number to the extension to provide valid presence status.
| Name | Populate the Name filed with a descriptive name for the dial rule. |
| Begins With | Use this to specify which numbers the rule will apply to by matching the starting digits from left to right. |
| Length | Use this field to apply rules based on the length of the number. All characters including dashes, plus signs and numbers are counted in the length field. |
| Number of Front Digits to Remove | Strip digits from a number matched by a Dial Rule. Digits are removed from left to right. |
| Applied Prefix | Populate this field to prefix digits on numbers matching a Dial Rule. The Applied Prefix occurs subsequent to the Digits Removed function. |
| Ignore Characters | Populate to remove certain characters from a number. |
| Remove non-digit characters | To strip all non-numeric characters from a number. This must be applied if your telephone numbers contain non-numeric characters or the dial rules may not function properly. |
