The correct answer is D. The destination is globalized using translation patterns to normalize the called party. In a Cisco UCM global dial plan, the system globalizes the dialed destination by utilizing translation patterns to normalize the called party's number.
Question
The enterprise network is migrating to a global dial plan and running a few devices in the test phase. Which change is performed by the system to the information dialed when the Cisco UCM endpoint dials an external destination under a global dial plan?
Options
- AThe calling party is globalized using translation patterns
- BThe normalization script modifies the calling party
- CThe destination is transformed using site-specific route patterns
- DThe destination is globalized using translation patterns to normalize the called party

Why each option
In a Cisco UCM global dial plan, the system globalizes the dialed destination by utilizing translation patterns to normalize the called party's number.
The question specifically asks about the *dialed destination*, not the calling party, making this answer incorrect in context.
While normalization scripts can be used, translation patterns are the primary mechanism for globalizing and normalizing the called party number within the context of a Cisco UCM global dial plan.
The destination is globalized and normalized for consistent routing across the *global* plan, not merely transformed using *site-specific* route patterns, which would defeat the purpose of globalization.
When an endpoint dials an external destination in a global dial plan, Cisco UCM employs translation patterns to convert the locally dialed number into a globally routable format, standardizing the called party's number for consistent routing across the entire enterprise.
