Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

Dial Rule Operations

Dial rules describe how the CMA system gatekeeper should resolve addresses in an incoming dial string to route a call. This dial string may include an IP address, a string of numbers that begin with a prefix associated with a service, a string that begins with a country code and city code, or a string that matches a particular alias for a device.

Dial strings may match multiple dial rules. However, you can assign a priority to each dial rule. When the CMA system gatekeeper receives a call request and associated dial string, it reviews the dial rules in order of priority. The first matched (highest priority) dial rule is executed.
