Route Plan Configuration Requirements 281
■ B1R1 identifies one branch call processor hosted by region 1.
To configure a route from a regional office to a branch office:
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 Add an end point of the type Call Processor that points to B1R1.
For instructions on adding an end point, see Adding End Points
.
4 Create one route.
BrRoute1 includes the end point B1R1.
For instructions on adding routes, see Adding Routes
.
5 Create a pattern that identifies calls to the branch office.
A pattern is a dial string prefix that indicates the call destination is the
branch office.
A prefix is created as a dial rule and added to the dial plan in effect for
users at the branch. For example, if the branch prefix is 8, you would
create the pattern 8*.
For instructions on adding a pattern, see Adding Patterns
. For
information on dial rules and plans, seeConfiguring Dial Rules
and
C
onfiguring Dial Plans.
6 Configure a route plan to associate a pattern and a route.
In this example, you would create one route plan that associates
BrRoute1 with the pattern 8*.
For instructions, see Adding a Route Plan
.
Calls can be now be routed to the branch office from users located
outside the branch.
Route Configuration
to a Gateway
You need to configure routes from a regional office to a gateway so that
call destinations outside of the VCX network can be processed. You may
also have to configure routes from a branch office if the branch has its
own gateway (for example, the branch office has a 3Com V6000
Integrated Branch Communications system). For branches without a
gateway, out of network calls are processed by the branch’s host regional
office.
