Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Alias Macros
7-19
Alias Macros
An alias macro is a program within an alias that translates incoming call requests into
outgoing call requests. It is a shortcut that allows a programmer to write many aliases
by only writing one macro.
Macros allow for call routing with fewer aliases. Using them with alternate routing
provides multiple routes for a single alias.
A macro may be entered for combinations of any or all of the following items:
z Alias names
z Called addresses
z Caller’s addresses
z Call data
z Application-specific strings
z Alternate routing aliases.
Each macro acts as a command line with instructions for matching patterns in alias
fields and for manipulating them for redirection.
The following topics are covered in this section:
z Alias Macro Components
z Alias Macro Configuration

The start symbol for an alias macro is an equal (=) sign. It is followed by one or more
alias macro components.
