Poll the office routes according to the office route IDs in ascending sequence till an office route that contains the system time and idle circuits is found.

Scenario Description

Figure 1 Network diagram of the intelligent route

U1900_cfgg_image_f_u1960_cfgg_00035_07

The unified gateway connects to carrier network through the PRA and ISUP trunks. The office route selection code is 1. Assume that user data and trunk data have been configured.

Assume that: When an unified gateway user dials PSTN user number 0+xxxxxxxx every day from 08:00 to 18:00, the calls are routed through carrier's PRA trunk. Calls made in other time segments are routed through carrier's ISUP trunk.

Procedure

1.Log in to the web management system. For details, see Logging In to the Web Management System.

2.Configure the office route selection code.

Set the office route selection code to 1. Office route selection code 1 selects office routes based on time. Choose Trunk > Office Route.

a.Choose Trunk > Office Route Configuration > Office Route Selection Code.

b.Click Create.

c.Configure the office route selection code to 1, as shown in Figure 2.

Table 1 describes the key parameters displayed on the web page. For details about the parameters, see the Web Management System Online Help.

Table 1 Key parameter description (1)

Parameter

Description

Office route selection code

Office route selection code of an office route. Each code identifies to an office route selection policy.

Office route selection policy

Policy for selecting among office routes with the same office route selection code. The options are as follows:

ϒ⁄None

Office routes are polled based on office route IDs in ascending order until an office route that contains idle circuits is found.

ϒ⁄By Time

Office routes are polled based on office route IDs in ascending order until an office route that is valid at the current system time and contains idle circuits is found.

ϒ⁄By Charging Rate

Office routes are polled based on charging rates in ascending order until an office route that contains idle circuits is found. Office routes with the same charging rate are polled based on office route IDs in ascending order. If no idle circuit is found, office routes configured with no charge rate are polled based on office route IDs in ascending order until an office route that contains idle circuits is found.

ϒ⁄By Load Sharing

Office routes are polled based on office route IDs in ascending order until an office route that contains idle circuits is found. The later calls will poll office routes from the next office route after an office route is selected by the preceding call.

ϒ⁄By Load Sharing Percentage

Except the office routes whose load percentages are set to 100%, office routes are polled based on the load percentages in descending order.

ϒ⁄User Level

Office routes are polled based on user priorities in ascending order until an office route that contains idle circuits and has an equal or lower user priority is found. Office routes with the same charging rate are polled based on office route IDs in ascending order.

ϒ⁄Load Balancing

Office routes are polled based on office route IDs in ascending order until an office route that contains the maximum number of idle circuits is found.

Failure Processing Index

Index of a routing failure processing policy related to the office route selection policy.

For details, see Configuring Rerouting.

Whether to send the two-stage dialing tone

Indicates whether a user can hear the second dialing tone after dialing the outgoing prefix when making an outgoing call through an office route selected from the current office route selection code.

a.Click OK.

Office route selection code 1 is configured.

2.Configure the time segment index.

a.The time segment of index 1 is from 08:00 to 18:00 every day.

b.The time segment of index 2 is from 18:00 to 08:00 every day.

c.Click Time segment index tab page.

d.Click Create.

e.Configure the time segment index to 1, as shown in Figure 3.

Table 2 describes the key parameters displayed on the web page. For details about the parameters, see the Web Management System Online Help.

Table 2 Key parameter description (2)

Parameter

Description

Time segment index

Unique index of a time segment.

Start week

Day in a week when the time segment starts. For example, this parameter can be set to Sunday.

End week

Day in a week when the time segment ends. For example, this parameter can be set to Saturday.

Start time

Time when the time segment starts. For example, this parameter can be set to 07:00.

End time

Time when the time segment ends. For example, this parameter can be set to 22:00.

If the value of Start time is later than that of End time, the value of End time indicates the time on the next day. For example, if the value of Start time is 21:00, and the value of End time is 7:00, the time segment lasts from 21:00 on the current day to 7:00 on the next day.

f.Click OK.

Time segment index 1 is configured.

g.Click Create, and configure time segment index 2, as shown in Figure 4.

Table 2 describes the key parameters displayed on the web page.

3.Configure office route.

a.Office route 0 is used for the PRA trunk, with office route selection code being 1 and time segment index being 1.

b.Office route 1 is used for the ISUP trunk, with office route selection code being 1 and time segment index being 2.

c.Choose Trunk > Office Route.

d.Click Create.

e.Configure the office route to 0, as shown in Figure 5.

f.Click OK.

Office route 0 is configured.

g.Click Create, and configure office route 1, as shown in Figure 6.

4.Configure the outgoing prefix.

Set the outgoing prefix to 0. The first digit 0 of the called number is deleted.

a.Configure the number change index.

ϒ⁄Choose Trunk > Office Route Configuration.

ϒ⁄Click Number change index tab page.

ϒ⁄Click Create.

ϒ⁄Configure the number change index to 0, as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7 Configuring number change index 0

ϒ⁄Click OK.

Number change index 0 is configured.

b.Choose Trunk > Called Prefix Configuration.

c.Click Create.

d.Configure prefix 0, as shown in Figure 8.
