Cisco CUCM - changing caller ID on calling the PSTN

I am trying to make calls from one phone number appear as another phone number when they go to the PSTN. I thought I would be able to do that using External Phone Number Mask. But it seems to not be working how I'd hoped. Let's say I have extension 4501 and the DID is 650-555-4501. When the person at this phone calls to the PSTN I would like the ANI to be 650-555-4502. Would I accomplish that using the External Phone Number Mask and if yes what all would I enter in there? Or would I alter this somewhere else? At the gateway? Thank you.

See if in the route group or route list if use callers external number mask is checked

I checked the relevant Route List and note the section with Calling Party Transformations. It's set to "Default" - need to trace that back. Perhaps for this one call I should create his own route list and set Calling Party Transformation Mask to the number I want to go out and set the item above that to off?

And for the device itself outbound looks like this ...

Route Patterns have the option to apply the External Phone Number mask if any, or apply a fixed calling party for every outbound call.

I suggest using the DNA tool to understand a bit better what is happening.

ALso, if you are extending this call to a H.323 gateway, there might be additional calling number manipulations happening there.
Thanksk WB. I'm sending it to a SIP trunk to an ISR (which in turn has a SIP trunk to the PSTN carrier. The trick is that I just want to alter the calling number for this one phone/line. It's a long story as to why - but it revolves around some deficiencies in MRA/Expressway. I'm trying to kludge a solution together for a VIP.
