Dialable address formats

The destination address that is entered using the caller's endpoint can take a number of different
formats, and this affects the specific process that the VCS follows when attempting to locate the
destination endpoint. The address formats supported by the VCS are:
IP address, for example 10.44.10.1 or 3ffe:80ee:3706::10:35
n
H.323 ID, for example john.smith or john.smith@example.com (note that an H.323 ID can
n
be in the form of a URI)
E.164 alias, for example 441189876432 or 6432
n

Usage tips
You can test whether a pattern
matches a particular alias and is
transformed in the expected way by
using the
(Maintenance > Tools > Check
pattern).
regular
When you are making or testing
configuration changes to your Cisco
AM GW policy rules, you may want to
temporarily enable or disable certain
rules. You may also want to configure
certain rules but only apply them
occasionally. You can do this by
selecting the rule's check box and
clicking Enable or Disable as
appropriate. Any disabled rules still
appear in the rules list but are ignored
by the VCS when determining which
calls are routed via the Cisco AM GW.
