ISDN Gateway Selection Process When the dia l st rin g be gin s wi th a si mplified ISDN gateway dialing prefix, the
Polycom DMA system chooses an ISDN gateway by applying the following
steps:
1Strip the ISDN gateway dialing prefix from the dial string, leaving the
E.164 number.
2From the in-service (not busied out or out of service) gateways, select the
ones that have a profile with a matching or higher bit rate (higher bit rate
can only be used for RMX). If none, go to 3; otherwise, go to 4.
3From the remaining gateways, select those with a profile bit rate lower
than the requested bit rate. If none, reject the call.
4From the remaining gateways, select those that match the country code
and area code of the dialed number. If none, go to 5; otherwise, go to 6.
5From the remaining gateways, select those that match the country code of
the dialed number, if any.
6From the remaining gateways, select those with a profile that has the
closest bit rate. An exact match is preferred.
7From the remaining gateways, select those that are in the same site as the
calling endpoint, if any.
8From the remaining gateways, select one using a round-robin method.
9If the call fails because of no capacity on the selected gateway, select the
next gateway left in 8. If none, start again at 2 (omitting the gateway that
failed). If none left, reject the call.
