Route
A value returned by a routing script that maps to a service and a specific
target at a peripheral; that is, a service, skill group, agent, or translation
route. The ICR converts the route to a label that is returned to the routing
client. The routing client then delivers the call to a specific trunk group
with a specific DNIS. The peripheral is responsible for recognizing the
trunk group and DNIS and delivering the call to the appropriate target.
Route call details
Data about routing requests received by the ICR and how calls were
routed (that is, the route chosen for each call). This data is stored in the
Route Call Detail table in the ICR central database.
Router (IP)
A device that dispatches messages to their appropriate destinations
within or between IP networks. See also Internet Protocol (IP).
Routing client
An entity that sends routing requests to the ICR. Each logical interface
controller can be mapped to one or more routing clients. A routing client
typically corresponds to a subsystem within an interexchange carrier or
to a peripheral performing Post-Routing.
Routing script
A script that the ICR executes to find the destination for a call. A routing
script might examine information about several possible targets before
choosing the best destination. You can schedule different scripts to
execute for different types of calls and at different times and dates. Use
the Script Editor to create, modify, and schedule routing scripts.
Routing server
The ICR acts as the routing server. For example, when a caller dials your
800 number, the IXC subsystem (routing client) passes a route request to
the ICR. As the routing server, the ICR processes the route request,
determines where to route the call, and passes a routing label back to the
IXC.
Routing target
An entity to which the ICR can route a call. A routing target can be an
agent, skill group, service, enterprise skill group, or enterprise service.
