CallCentric digit map

(1/3) > >>

tome:
I signed up with Callcentric for 911 services.  I have set it up on SP2 (and modified my outboundroutemap to add the 911 stuff RonR has posted in other threads.  I tested a 911 call, an outbound to a mobile number and an inbound call from Callcentric's test stuff.  Everything seems to be working fine.  I have a question on their setup information:

In the setup information on the Callcentric web site they say:
Service Providers > ITSP Profile > General
Digit Map:   (*xx.|**275*x.|[3469]11|1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011xx.|xx.|(Mipd)|[^*#]@@.)

What does this digit map do?

Tom

RonR:
*xx.  ->  Star Codes  (this will disable the OBi's Star Codes)
**275*x.  ->  Sip Broker support
[3469]11  ->  311/411/611/911  (911 is already handled in the PHONE Port DigitMap/OutboundCallRoute)
1xxxxxxxxxx  ->  11-digit dialing
<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx  ->  10-digit dialing
011xx.  ->  International dialing
xx.  ->  let anything through
(Mipd)  ->  IP dialing
[^*]@@.  ->  SIP URI dialing  (bad rule : matches way too much)

Thanks Ron, some questions...

Why would they want the * codes disabled and should I?  And is the Sip Broker support required to use Callcentric?  What is it exactly?

Should I remove it or change it?

Just about everyone, including the OBi, supports Star Code features to block CallerID (*67), return the last call (*69), etc.  The way the OBi is set up, it handles Star Codes unless DigitMap rules turn them over to someone else.  This can be done selectively (*67|*69|...) or collectively (*xx|...).  Unless you need a particular (or all) Star Code(s) to be handled outside the OBi, I recommend you don't change anything in this area.

Sip Broker might allow you to call users on other networks:  Sip Broker

Unless/until you need Sip Broker support, I wouldn't worry about it.

There are some DigitMap rule situations where [^*]@@. matches way too much and prevents the intended result (this rule matches ANYTHING that doesn't start with an *).  Since the purpose of this rule is to match SIP URI's, I recommend using @@.'@'@@. (anything@anything) instead of [^*]@@.  There is currently a bug on the OBi firmware, necessitating that this rule be written as [^*]@@.'@'@@. to prevent it from interfering with *60, *62, *72, and *74, which should not be occurring.  If/when this bug is corrected, the [^*] can be removed.

Ok, I will change it to:  [^*]@@.'@'@@.
By the way, it was written as [^*#]@@.  (with the #) on the CallCentric config page.

Thanks,
Tom
