Explanation
The Dialed Number Analyzer (DNA), built directly into CUCM, is the purpose-built tool for dial plan validation. Given a calling device and a dialed string, DNA simulates the entire CUCM digit-analysis process and returns a detailed report: which pattern matched, which CSS and partition were evaluated, what digit transformations were applied, and which gateway or device the call would route to. This makes it the ideal tool during the implementation phase to confirm the dial plan behaves as designed without placing live calls. The Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) is for performance/alerting, and Cisco Prime Collaboration is a broader lifecycle-management platform.
