Confused about dial plans in the US? - Here is the solution
These 2 sites will help you get the most out of any North America dial-plan based on Areacode
Lets begin with NANPA: https://www.nationalnanpa.com/
Going into Tools and Area Code Search you can get a lot information
Here is an example:
Pay close attention to the Dialing Plan for this NPA section. This will dictate the way you can make calls out locally and nationally. In case you are interested in FPA HNPA, NPA and NXX terms, here is a good link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Numbering_Plan
Since I started in IT and Networking, I have discovered that there are many things that result easier to do on a MAC, than any other OS. However we have to give credit where credit is due, Windows is doing a fantastic job with their new OS, but I still prefer MAC ;).
This post is dedicated to a paged referred from a colleague at my job on Cisco VCS Expressway configuration:
In my effort to make sure I post things as do them, I want to make sure I leave this one here for anyone out there that may need a bit of help on understanding the obscure process of Licensing a VCS (Control and Expressway servers)
The good news is that Cisco Licensing is already providing all the Option Keys and Features keys in one message, which makes it easy to get licensing done in just one shot! - This requires you to open a case and most of the times they will do it right, but again we are humans and we make mistakes, that was my venting about my latest call to Cisco Licensing.
Hi all,
Here is an update on my second and unsuccessful attempt. Things to think about and others to ignore.
This time the results were less effective and the score one to be ashamed of, however I learned few things of me and some “don’t try this at the lab” things that can be useful for many out there in the same path.
This the lab hit me with different questions and stuff from my previous attempt, which got the best of me and made me loose tremendous amount of time. I will do my best to summarize how everything went, off course without breaking my NDA. I hope you enjoy reading this post
Hi everyone, I think this post will be very useful for everyone, I have tried this on few production environments and requires some tweaking but nothing impossible, just make sure you are aware of how the call flows and how it interacts with other endpoints.
Previously the issues I have had with this configuration have been based on DTMF, oddly enough DTMF on International calls only. Fortunately the case was resolved by our provider in conjunction with few commands that are listed in this document.
I have been using this page for this particular and obscure subject for many out there.
I hope you enjoy it.

Because sometimes you just need a refresher - rebuilding my lab servers and was just forgetting the Generate Bootinfotables option. Thank you!

I don’t mess around too much with ATA devices, and I think never configured one that supports 2 DNs/FXS ports. I was surprised that when configuring Auto-Registration and connecting the ATA 2 devices came up with 2 devices, I was unsure so I looked around to get more information on this one.
I used Auto Registration to save me some time.

Hi there, Here is the link to the CUBE Third-Party Interoperability Fax Guidelines - http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice/t38/116280-configure-cube-00.html I decided to copy the Source code of the page just not mess around with the contents and images which help on understanding the Fax protocols with Cisco CUBE.
Also this makes it a nice link to keep in your toolbox.

Really nice article… I’m actually working on a lab to do this… Multicast has become viral for all my customers!
