How do you configure a PLAR line in Call Manager 8.X

Doing it in the call manager is tedious, to say the least. It's a lot easier to do it if you have a VG224.  A coworker shared this tidbit with me, don't know where he found it, but it's a real stepsaver.

Enter the number in place of the X's that needs to be dialled from this voice port.. Make sure this is full number including any prefixes.

Some tweaks in voice port configuration when using SCCP PLAR –
When the disconnect is received on the voice port, there is a delay before the system starts the process of releasing voice ports, default is 30 seconds. During this period the voice port stays in call failure state and if an attempt is made to redial by lifting the handset either reorder tone, busy tone or out of service tone is sent.

Configure wait-release as per your requirements and testing

I also realize I made a mess of the code for doing it on the VG224. Rather than cut n paste lets' try it this way

First - configure an analog port on your VG224 gateway and assign it a DN.  Then telnet into the command line interface of your VG224, log in then open a config session (config t)

Commands are as follows:

sccp plar
voiceport 2/0 dial XXXXXX
^C
copy run start
press enter

for your voice port enter the port you wish to config. I used 2/0 for the example.  Also I did not have to configure any timeouts. It worked fine and I was immediately able to go off hook again and have the port auto-dial.

For analog ports in Call Manager this method is a lot easier than going through the drudgery in the CUCM GUI.

Also the document you need is actually this one (28 megs)
PLAR is explained in great detail in chapter 26.  Good luck.

thanks, Also what would be the steps to configure the PLAR on CUCM GUI?

- Create a new partition for the plar
- Create a CSS with the new partition in it
- Create a "empty" translation pattern in the new partition. And select the CSS where in the "to be dialed" number exists
- Let this "empty" translation translate to the desired number you want to call.
- Put you gateway port and the directory number on this portin the plar CSS.
