The route pattern 9 @ routes or blocks all numbers recognized by the NANP. Which two things does the pound or hash (#) do when the @ wildcard is used in a route pattern? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. It terminates the inter-digit timeout. D. It is automatically recognized as an end-of-dialing character for international calls.. When the @ wildcard is used in a Cisco UCM route pattern, the # character both terminates the inter-digit timeout and serves as an automatic end-of-dialing signal for international calls.

Why each option
When the @ wildcard is used in a Cisco UCM route pattern, the # character both terminates the inter-digit timeout and serves as an automatic end-of-dialing signal for international calls.
This directly contradicts the correct behavior - # is automatically recognized as an end-of-dialing character for international calls when the @ wildcard is present.
Pressing # terminates the inter-digit timeout immediately, allowing UCM to process the collected digits without waiting for the full timeout to expire, reducing post-dial delay.
The # character does not represent an exact match pattern in UCM route patterns; literal digits serve that role.
When @ is used in a route pattern, UCM automatically treats # as an end-of-dialing character for international numbers, signaling that digit input is complete and routing should proceed.
The # character does not terminate an access code - it functions as an inter-digit timeout terminator and end-of-dialing indicator only.
