Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Alias Macros
8-43
Alias Macro Configuration
Often there are several ways to write a macro and get the same result. One
programmer will likely design macros differently than another.
Note: From the Alias Menu, you can input a string with * in it and the search will
break apart the string using * as a delimiter. The search checks the alias list
for an alias name that contains the components. It does not limit the search to
the beginning and end of text of the alias as in AI198.

Configuration Examples

This example displays an alias where:
zAlias name 172.16.32.237#30* matches source address 172.16.32.237 with a
port number of 30 followed by zero or more characters
zThe caller’s address is PVC
zCall data ='ASY.'+D((V(?(1))%6)+1) creates strings from ASY.1 to ASY.6.
This example displays an alias where:
zAlias name 43042* matches source addresses that start with 43042 and may
end with zero or more characters
zCalled Address ='ASY.'+D((V(?(1))%6)+1) creates a called address string of
ASY.1 through ASY.6.
