In a Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) environment, an engineer can configure the calling number into a localized format using the route pattern or gateway configuration.

A route pattern is a dial plan component used to match an inbound or outbound call and define how the call is routed. Route patterns are typically used to control the digit manipulation process, including the conversion of the calling number into a localized format. To configure a localized calling number format using route patterns, an engineer can create a new route pattern and specify the appropriate digit manipulation settings. This allows calls to be routed to the correct destination and presented with a locally recognizable number.

Similarly, a gateway can also be configured to convert the calling number into a localized format. In Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) deployments, for example, an engineer can configure the dial peer to modify the calling number using digit manipulation rules. The gateway then sends the modified number to the next hop in the call path, which could be another gateway or a CUCM cluster.

Service parameters and IP phones are not typically used to configure the calling number into a localized format. Service parameters are used to configure system-wide settings, such as call admission control or call park timeout values, and IP phones are used to configure individual device settings, such as speed dials or line appearances.

In summary, an engineer can configure the calling number into a localized format using either route pattern or gateway configuration.
