Route List Configuration


Route groups consisting of a list of resources (gateways) make up route lists. A route list associates a set of route groups with a route pattern and determines the order in which those route groups are accessed. The order controls the progress of the search for available trunk devices for outgoing calls.

A route list comprises a collection of resources (gateways, route groups) that route calls that match the defined route pattern. Once the Cisco CallManager determines a call that is to be routed through a defined route list, the Cisco CallManager finds the first available device based on the order of the route group(s) defined in a route list. Each route list should have at least one route group. Within each route group, at least one device, such as a gateway, is available. Cisco CallManager can select some, or all, ports as resources in each route group based on device type. Some devices, such as digital access, only allow you to select all ports.

Each route list can contain the same route groups that other route lists have already selected.

Use the following topics to add or remove route lists or to add, remove, or change the order of route groups in a route list:

Note To find all route lists registered in the database, click Find without entering any search text.


A list of discovered route lists displays by:

Route list name

Description


Note You can delete multiple route lists from the Find and List Route Lists window by checking the check boxes next to the appropriate route lists and clicking Delete Selected.

Adding a Route List

The following procedure describes how to add a route list.

Procedure


Step 1 Choose Route Plan > Route List in the menu bar.

Step 2 Click Add a New Route List.

Step 3 Enter a name in the Route List Name field. The name can comprise up to 50 alphanumeric characters and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). Ensure each route list name is unique to the route plan.


Timesaver Use concise and descriptive names for your route lists. The CompanynameLocationCalltype format usually provides a sufficient level of detail and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily identify a route list. For example, CiscoDallasMetro identifies a route list for toll-free, inter- local access transport area (LATA) calls from the Cisco office in Dallas.


Cisco CallManager automatically inserts a description in the Description field. You can, however, edit this field.

Step 4 Click Insert to add this route list.

Step 5 To add a route group to this list, click Add Route Group and perform Step 4 through Step 8 of the "Adding Route Groups to a Route List" section.


Note For called party and calling party transformation information, you can click on the Route Details for Route Groups link on the left side of the window. This takes you to the Route Details Configuration window.
