Configuring Call Routing

Call routing algorithms

Parameter

Call-Route-Info

Specifies

Address of an interface to which a call can be routed, using the following format:

{shelf slot item }

The default value is nonspecific, with zero values in each field. This parameter is deprecated. Use of Call-Route profiles is preferred. However, if you specify both methods, the Call-Route-Info setting takes precedence. For more information, see “Fourth pass: destination device addresses” on page 19-13.

For example, the following commands specify that calls received on the tenth T1 channel on line 1 of a card installed in shelf 1, slot 22 is always routed to the specified host device:

admin> read t1 {1 2 1}

T1/{ shelf-1 slot-22 1 } read

admin> set line channel 10 call-route-info = { 1 7 12 }

admin> write

T1/{ shelf-1 slot-22 1 } written

Call routing algorithms

The call-routing database starts with a list of all possible destinations in the system. During active use, the TAOS unit keeps track of the devices that are currently in use and does not consider those devices as possible destinations for a call. After removing entries for devices that are in use, the system sorts the list of remaining devices in the following order:

•Trunk group number (sorted in descending order; for example, 9–4)

•Subaddress number (sorted in descending order; for example, 9–1)

•Telephone number (empty telephone numbers last)

•Destination device address (zero components sorted after nonzero components)

•Source device address (zero components sorted after nonzero components)

•Routing type (Any-Call-Type last)

After sorting the database in this order, the TAOS unit sorts again, this time placing devices that have been used less frequently ahead of those that have been used more frequently.

Localization of call routes within a quadrant

The TAOS unit uses the same call-routing algorithms as similar devices that have a lower port density, such as the MAX TNT, except that it searches first for available devices within the same quadrant as the source of the call. For example, when a call arrives on a network line, the TAOS unit searches first for host-side devices within the quadrant. If no devices are available within the quadrant, the system searches the other quadrants looking for a free entry. To take advantage of this algorithm, you must balance the number of network and host devices within each quadrant.
