You can create a Normalization rule by using the Server Administrator > Components node. See the Wildcard use guidelines below.
Wildcard use guidelines
A wildcard is a special character that you can use in searches to represent all values. With the server, you can use the following wildcard characters.
-
An asterisk (*) matches any character (including 'empty')
-
A question mark (?) matches exactly one character (but not 'empty')
The wildcard character is typically the asterisk (*). The following are examples of some ways you might use wildcards.
-
To find all values using the wildcard alone: *
-
To find all messages whose destination fax number starts with a particular area code, enter: +1 <area code>*
Example: 1603* -
To find all messages destined for a particular domain, enter: *@company.com
-
To find all messages with area codes beginning with 7 and ending with 2, enter: @+17?2*
To create a Normalization rule
-
Start the Server Administrator.
On the Start menu, click Upland AccuRoute > -
On the console, expand the Server Administrator tree.
-
Double-click Components. The Components are listed in the details pane.
-
Click Delivery Pending to open the Properties dialog box.
-
Click Normalization > New. The General dialog box appears.
-
In the If the number is box, type the number or part of a number that you want the normalization rule to match. For example, enter * to match all numbers or 603* to match all numbers in the 603 area code.
-
In the and its length is drop-down list, select the operator for the condition: > = (greater than or equal to), = (equal to) or <= less than or equal to.
-
In the digits box, select the number of digits in the destination number.
-
In the Number Modification section, configure the following:
-
In the Remove [ ] digits from the beginning box, select the number of digits, if any, that should be removed from the beginning of the number.
-
In the Remove [ ] digits from the end box, select the number of digits, if any, that should be removed from the end of the number.
-
In the Add [ ] to the beginning box, type the exact digits, if any, that should be added to the beginning of the number.
-
In the Add [ ] to the end box, enter the exact digits, if any, that should be added to the end of the number.
-
Check the box beside the Replace the last [ ] digits of source with destination option if numbers matching this rule are local calls for the Modem Server. Then type the number of digits that represent a local call in the box. (For example, in the United States, a local call is 7 digits.)
A fully qualified number in the United States is formatted CC AAA EEE XXXX whereby CC is the country code, AAA is the area code, EEE is the local exchange, and XXXX is the destination number. Since a typical local call in the United States is formatted EEE XXXX, enter 7 in the spin box so that the server replaces CC AAA EEE XXXX with EEE XXXX (the last 7 digits in the fully qualified number), and thus, the Modem Server dials a local call.
-
-
In the Description box, enter a short description of the rule.
-
Click OK to save the rule.
