Starting a New Design Session

Use this procedure to start a new dial plan design session.

When you start a new design session, you are presented with the baseline dial plan. Use the baseline dial plan as your template and add, delete, and modify elements and regions to create a new dial plan design. The configuration changes are not reflected in the network until you commit this new dial plan design.

Prerequisite: All regions and elements affected by the new design must already be identified in the topology. If they are not, you must add them to the topology before they can be in the new design. See Adding an Element to the Topology or Adding a Region to the Topology.

Procedure

  1. Choose Design from Baseline from the Design menu. The Open New Design View window appears.  

  2. Select a Design Scope. Choose the entire Administrative Domain (AD) or select a specific region.

  3. Click Open. A Design View session opens. The dial plan presented is the baseline dial plan.

You can close and save the design session if you want to complete the dial plan later.
