Call Server Configuration

●If your enterprise includes a SIP peer and you want to route calls to that peer without a prefix, add a dial rule using the Resolve to external SIP peer action.

If you have multiple SIP peers, a call matching the rule is routed to the first one to answer. You may want to specify the domain(s) for which each is responsible (see Add External SIP Peer Dialog Box on page 105).

When routing to a SIP peer, the Polycom RealPresence DMA system gives up its ability to route the call to other locations if the peer rejects the call. Consequently, a dial rule using the Resolve to external SIP peer action should generally be the last rule in the dial plan.

Note: SIP<->H.323 Gateway Considerations

In a mixed H.323 and SIP environment, the Polycom RealPresence DMA system acts as a seamless gateway. If an H.323 device sends it a Location Request (LRQ) and the dial plan contains a dial rule using the Resolve to external SIP peer action, the RealPresence DMA system will respond with a Location Confirm (LCF) because it can resolve the address by routing the H.323 call through its gateway to the SIP peer(s).

You can prevent H.323 calls from being routed to SIP peers by restricting which calls are routed to them in one or more of the following ways:

•Assign each SIP peer an authorized domain or domains (this is a good idea in any case in order to avoid dialing loops). See Edit External SIP Peer Dialog Box on page 110.

•Assign each SIP peer a prefix or prefix range. See Edit External SIP Peer Dialog Box on page 110.

•Add a preliminary script to the dial rule using the Resolve to external SIP peer action that ensures that the rule will only match a SIP address. See Preliminary/Postliminary Scripting on page 251.

Make the dial rule using the Resolve to external SIP peer action the last rule and ensure that all H.323 calls will match against one of the preceding dial rules.
