6.Create or Modify Dial Patterns

Associating a dial pattern with a SIP Routing Policy instructs Session Manager how to route calls matching the administered Dial Pattern(s). In the test, existing Routing Policies were modified for routing to endpoints or Entities at the Remote Site, and new Dial Patterns were created to route to the Main Site and Remote Site Fax Servers using the existing and new routing policies.

In the snapshot below, the Dial Patterns were previously created. The applicable patterns were all 5 Digit extension patterns: dialed numbers beginning with 2 (the local analog fax machine at Site A), dialed numbers beginning with 40 (to route incoming Fax calls to the FaxFinder server at Site B), dialed numbers beginning with 45 (to route to Communication Manager at Site A in order to route via the public network interface between the sites). In addition, an existing 4 digit patterns beginning with 60 was used to route Fax calls to Communication Manager at the Main Site for routing via the public network interfaces to the analog machine at the Remote Site.

The ‘40’ and ‘45’ dial patterns were created for this test, all others were in place in the test environment.
