start, stop, or restart the service if needed.
3. Enable Database Synchronization (Optional but Recommended)
In Dialed Number Analyzer, choose Service > Control Center.
•
Database Synchronization is enabled by default. Do not modify this setting in order to keep it enabled.
If you need to disable and then re-enable it, ensure that the Dialed Number Analyzer service is
stopped and started to synchronize with the database.
•
These services and configurations ensure that the Cisco Dialed Number Analyzer can properly function and
reflect any changes made to the CUCM database, allowing for accurate dialed number analysis.
Once the Dialed Number Analyzer Service is enabled and running, you can access the Cisco Dialed Number
Analyzer application via https://cucm ip/dna or https://cucmfqdn/dna.
Key Features and Use Cases of Dialed Number Analyzer
The Analysis menu in the Cisco DNA has several submenus.
- Analyzer
Function: Allows direct input of a dialed number in order to see how it is routed.
Example: You enter the number '91232345678'. The Analyzer shows that this call is routed through a
specific route pattern, applies a particular translation pattern, and is ultimately sent to an external gateway
for an international call.
From the next example, you can see some basic information in the Result Summary. For instance, the
calling party number for this call is '10001', and the originally dialed Called Number is '91232345678'. You
can also determine whether this call can be routed, with our test result indicating 'RouteThisPattern'.
In order to see detailed call routing information, you can refer to the Call Flow section. Here, you observe
that CUCM first matches a Translation Pattern '9.XXXXXXXXXX', changing the called number to
'+11232345678'. Then, it matches a Route Pattern '+11232345678' and routes the call to a SIP Trunk
'To_GW_6'. This comprehensive information about how CUCM handles the call is beneficial for verifying
configurations and troubleshooting.
For B2B calls or joining a third-party cloud meeting, you can also use Cisco DNA in order to test the results
of SIP Route Patterns. You simply need to enter the URL of the call in the Dialed Digits field in the format
'sip: sip url', as shown. You can also save the output.
