  1. Dial Plans Chapter 2

  2. Dial and Numbering Plans • A numbering plan describes the endpoint addressing in a telephony network • Same as IP addressing in an IP network • There are private and public numbering plans – the same as private and public IP addressing schemes • Dial plans present the biggest challenge to a VoIP network administrator!

  3. Dial Plans • Dial plans analyze, screen and route calls based on dialled digits. • Dial plans specify how to interpret digit sequences dialled by the user. • Dial plans convert those into an outbound dial string. • On Cisco voice gateways, dial plans must be manually configured • They are basically a collection of dialled peers

  4. Problems • Unlike IP addresses a caller can input any combination of numbers from a dial. • A wrong IP address can be dropped immediately but dialled digits must be analysed. • There are a few possibilities for destinations;

  5. Destinations or Peers • Local VoIP phone extension number • Local POTS phone number (FXS port) • Local POTS exchange number (FXO port) • Distant VoIP extension number (WAN) • Distant POTS number (WAN)

  6. Caution • You are expected to be able to establish a connection with emergency services from a VoIP extension. • You also must provide access to all other services such as free-phone low-call etc.. • You are expected to bar certain Peers • You are expected to limit certain extensions capabilities

  7. Public Numbering Plans • Emergency services • Directory services • Local calling • Mobile calling • Long-distance calling • Toll-free calling • International calling • Premium calling

  8. National Numbering Plan • 00 – International • 071 – Regional area code • 071 - 91 – City area code!! • 18 – Free call and Low call • 08 – Mobile network • 15 – Premium rate service • 112 or 999 – Emergency service • 11811 – Directory enquiries (note similarity with 112 service)

  9. Private Numbering Plans • Is used within a single organization • Several factors need to be considered when designing such a numbering plan • Number of addressable devices • Number of locations • Methods of assigning site codes • Inbound call routing • External (PSTN) call routing

  10. Scalable Dial Plans • Logical distribution • Hierarchical numbering plan • Provisioning simplicity • Reduction in post-dial delay • Fault Tolerance

  11. Logical Distribution • Local gateway should handle details that are specific to its function • High level routing decisions should be passed on to Gatekeepers and PBX systems

  12. b) Hierarchical numbering plan • Simplifies provisioning tasks • Simplifies call routing by keeping local calls local and using access code for long distance • Provides summarization by providing groups of numbers in different locations • Adds scalability • Simplifies management – can be controlled from a central point

  13. c) Provisioning simplicity • Avoid overlapping numbering plans and extension ranges • Use digit manipulation where desired to standardize number patterns

  14. d) Reduction in post-dial delay • Users of PSTN have little or no post-dial delay • Minimize the number of dial peers and translations • The more translations and lookups – the longer the post-dial delay

  15. e) Fault Tolerance • For critical sites, redundant gateways can be implemented. • Alternate routes should be available • This is usually established in the network design anyway

  16. Digit Manipulation • Digit stripping • Forwarding dialled digits • Adding prefixes to dialled numbers • Manipulating Caller ID • Number expansion • Voice translation profiles

  20. Digit stripping (default)

  21. Forwarding dialled digits

  22. Other Examples - Communication Between Dial Peers Sharing the Same Router

  23. Matching call legs to Dial-Peers

  24. Dial Peers from the perspective of the both routers

  25. Figure 6 - Sample VoIP Network Three telephone numbers in the sales branch office need dial peers configured for them. Router B is the primary gateway to the main office; as such, it needs to be connected to the company's PBX. Four devices need dial peers, all of which are connected to the PBX, configured for them in the main office.
