Configuring Call Routing

Working with Call-Route profiles

Hybrid Access card. See “Dedicating Series56 cards to modem processing” on page 19-9for related information.

Trunk line usage and sort order

Trunk lines are sorted in the order in which they are installed in the system, with lines in lower-numbered slots preceding those in higher-numbered slots. For example, if more than one E1 card is installed, the system uses the card in the lower-numbered slot first, and begins to use the second E1 card only when the first one is fully utilized.

Note: This method of trunk line usage introduces a requirement for explicit Call-Route profiles when more than one trunk group is configured for the system. For details, see “Outbound call routing by trunk group” on page 19-6.

Working with Call-Route profiles

Administrators create Call-Route profiles to control device usage. While there are many reasons for creating Call-Route profiles, explicit Call-Route profiles are strongly recommended or required in the following cases:

•When trunk groups are in use

•To bundle Multilink PPP calls efficiently

•To reserve HDLC devices for multilink Frame Relay connections

Call-Route profile settings

Following are the parameters in a Call-Route profile, shown with default settings:

[in CALL-ROUTE/{ { any-shelf any-slot 0 } 0 } 0 }] index* = { { { any-shelf any-slot 0 } 0 } 0 } trunk-group = 0

phone-number = ""

preferred-source = { { any-shelf any-slot 0 } 0 } call-route-type = any-call-type

ParameterSpecifies

Index

Trunk-Group

Destination of the call route. A device address is followed by a call-routing database entry number (starting with zero) in the following format:

{{ shelf slot item } logical-item } entry }

If you create more than one call route for the same destination, the entry numbers must be unique for each Call-Route profile. Entry numbers do not have to be sequential.

Trunk group number. Enables the system to route calls to the specified destination on the basis of trunk-group information provided by a call.
