282 CHAPTER 10: CONFIGURING ROUTING AND TRANSLATION SERVICES
This example describes how to create a gateway route on the primary call
processor in one regional office. The example uses the following simple
multi-site system in which the six servers are running IP Telephony and IP
Messaging configurations:
■ R1a identifies the primary call processor in region 1.
■ R1b identifies the secondary call processor in region 1.
■ R2a identifies the primary call processor in region 2.
■ R2b identifies the secondary call processor in region 2.
■ R3a identifies the primary call processor in region 3.
■ R3b identifies the secondary call processor in region 3.
The following steps configure the required route on the primary VCX
server hosting R1a:
1 Access the server you want to manage, in this case R1a (see A
ccessing a
VCX Site through the Central Manager).
The USERS interface is enabled and the Users page appears.
2 Click DIRECTORY.
3 Create two end points.
a Add an end point of the type Gateway that points to R1a.
b Add an end point of the type Gateway that points to R1b.
For instructions on adding an end point, see Adding End Points
.
4 Create one route:
GWRoute1 includes the end points created for R1a and R1b.
For instructions on adding routes, see Adding Routes
.
5 Create a pattern for the gateway.
A pattern is a dial string prefix that indicates the gateway that should
receive a call. You associate a pattern with a route when you create a
route plan.
A prefix is created as a dial rule and added to the dial plan in effect for
users at a region. For example, if an internal caller must dial 81 plus the
number for external calls, you would create the pattern 81*.
For instructions on adding a pattern, see Adding Patterns
. For
information on dial rules and plans, see Configuring Dial Rules
and
