Route Group Information
|
Route Group Name
|
Enter a name for this route group. The name can comprise up to
50 alphanumeric characters and can contain any combination of spaces, periods
(.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). Ensure that each route group
name is unique to the route plan.
Timesaver
|
Use concise and descriptive names for your route groups. The
CompanynameLocationGroup format usually provides a sufficient level of detail
and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily identify a route group.
For example, CiscoDallasAA1 identifies a Cisco Access Analog route group for
the Cisco office in Dallas.

Distribution Algorithm
|
Choose a distribution algorithm from the options in the
drop-down list box:
- Top Down—If you
choose this distribution algorithm,
Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call
to idle or available members starting from the first idle or available member
of a route group to the last idle or available member.
- Circular—If you
choose this distribution algorithm,
Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call
to idle or available members starting from the (n+1)th member of a route group,
where the nth member is the member to which
Cisco Unified Communications Manager most recently
extended a call. If the nth member is the last member of a route group,
Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call
starting from the top of the route group.
The default value specifies Circular.

Find Devices to Add to Route Group
|
Device Name contains
|
Enter the character(s) that are found in the device name that
you are seeking and click the Find button. Device names that match the
character(s) that you entered display in the Available Devices box.

Available Devices
|
Choose a device in the Available Devices list box and add it
to the Selected Devices list box by clicking Add to Route Group.
If the route group contains a gateway that uses the QSIG
protocol, only gateways that use the QSIG protocol display in the list. If the
route group contains a gateway that uses the non-QSIG protocol, gateways that
use the controlled intercluster trunks, which are QSIG protocol, do not display
in the list.
If you included the route group in a route list that contains
QSIG gateways, the H.323 gateways do not display in the list.
|
Port(s)
|
If this device supports individually configurable ports,
choose the port. (Devices that allow you to choose individual ports include
Cisco Access Analog and Cisco MGCP Analog gateways and T1 CAS.) Otherwise,
choose the default value (All or None Available, depending upon the device that
is chosen). For a device that has no ports available (None Available), the
device may already be added to the Route Group or cannot be added to the route
group.
