Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports dialing using directory URIs for call addressing.

Directory URIs look like email addresses and follow the username@host format where the host portion is an IPv4 address or a fully qualified domain name.

A directory URI is a uniform resource identifier, a string of characters that can be used to identify a directory number.

If that directory number is assigned to a phone, Cisco Unified Communications Manager can route calls to that phone using the directory URI.

URI dialing is available for SIP and SCCP endpoints that support directory URIs.

In Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), partitions are used to group similar dial plan patterns, such as internal extensions or external phone numbers, into logical sets. Each partition can contain one or more directory numbers, which are the phone numbers that are associated with an end user. A directory URI is a unique identifier for an end user that can be used to make calls using various protocols, such as SIP, H.323, or XMPP.

When a directory URI is configured for an end user with a primary extension, the partition associated with that directory URI will depend on the configuration of the end user's phone line. Specifically, the partition associated with the end user's primary extension will be used for the directory URI.

If the end user's phone line has no partition assigned to it, the directory URI will also have no partition assigned to it, which is equivalent to selecting the "none" option.

If the end user's phone line is assigned to a specific partition, such as the "directory URI" partition or a custom partition created by the CUCM administrator, the directory URI will be associated with that partition.

If no partition is specified for the end user's phone line and no default partition is configured for the CUCM system, the directory URI will be associated with the "null" partition.

If a default partition is configured for the CUCM system, and no partition is specified for the end user's phone line, the directory URI will be associated with the default partition.

In summary, the partition associated with a directory URI that is configured for an end user with a primary extension will depend on the partition assigned to the end user's phone line, or on the default partition configured for the CUCM system. If no partition is assigned, the directory URI will be associated with either the "none" or "null" partition, depending on the CUCM configuration.
