10 C ONFIGURING R OUTING AND T RANSLATION S ERVICES This chapter describes how to use the VCX Administrat or web interface to manage routes, end points, patter ns , outdial patter ns, requestors, time bands, and number translation.
270 C HAPTER 10: C ONFIGURING R OUTING AND T RA NSLATION S ERVICES Accessing the DIRECTOR Y Interface Y ou can use the VCX Administrator pr ovisioning application to manage routes, end points, patter ns, outdial patter ns, requestors, time bands, and number translation.
Route Plan Configuration Requiremen ts 271 ■ Manage Patter ns — Dial string pa tter ns are used by the VCX call processor to r o ute calls to the correct destination.
272 C HAPTER 10: C ONFIGURING R OUTING AND T RA NSLATION S ERVICES A route plan associates a dial patter n with a route (a r oute identifies one or more end points).
Route Plan Configuration Requiremen ts 273 In both cases, one server in the pair is designated the primar y and the other server is designated the second ary . In a single-site system, you need to configure end points, r outes, patterns, and route plans on the prim ary server ru nning call processing software.

Route Plan Configuration Requiremen ts 275 Route Plan Configuration for Multi-site Syste ms In a multi-site system, VCX services ru n on servers at multiple locations. A multi-site system can include: ■ A r egional site with one or more associated branch of fices.
276 C HAPTER 10: C ONFIGURING R OUTING AND T RA NSLATION S ERVICES The remaining topics in this section describe the r oute plans you need to create for a multi-site system. Note that these topics refer ence other topics in this chapter that describe how to configure a route plan and its elements (end points, patter ns, and routes).
Route Plan Configuration Requiremen ts 277 For instructions on adding an end point, see Adding End Points . 4 Create thr ee routes. a Route1 includes the end points created for R1a and R1b .
278 C HAPTER 10: C ONFIGURING R OUTING AND T RA NSLATION S ERVICES servers R2a an d R3a , you would set up a route that includes end point R1a defined as type Redi rect Call Pr ocessor . This option reduces the number of ro utes you have to configure.
Route Plan Configuration Requiremen ts 279 This example describes how to create routes on a branch call processor hosted by region 1. The example uses the following multi-site system: ■ R1a identifies the primary call processor in r egion 1. ■ R1b identifies the secondary call processor in region 1.
280 C HAPTER 10: C ONFIGURING R OUTING AND T RA NSLATION S ERVICES ID for region 1 is 61 and the site ID for r egion 2 is 62, you would create two pattern s: 61* and 62*. Y ou also need to create a pattern that identifies calls to the PSTN, for example, 81*.
Route Plan Configuration Requiremen ts 281 ■ B1R1 identifies one branch call pr ocessor hosted by region 1. T o configure a route from a r egional office to a branch office: 1 Access the server you want to manage, in this case R1a (see A ccessing a VCX Site t hr o ugh the Central Manage r ).
282 C HAPTER 10: C ONFIGURING R OUTING AND T RA NSLATION S ERVICES This example describes how to create a gateway route on the primary call processor in one r egional office.
Route Plan Configuration Requiremen ts 283 6 Configure a r oute plan to associate the patter n and the route. In this example, you would create a r oute plan that associates GWRoute1 with the dialing patter n 81*. For instructions, see Adding a Route Plan .
284 C HAPTER 10: C ONFIGURING R OUTING AND T RA NSLATION S ERVICES no IP Messaging services. In this case, voicemail and MOH services are pr ovided to all branches by the regional server .
Route Plan Configuration Requiremen ts 285 T o configure IP Messaging ro utes: 1 Access the server you want to manage, in this case R1a (see A ccessing a VCX Site t hr o ugh the Central Manage r ). The USERS interfa ce is enabled and the Users page appears.
286 C HAPTER 10: C ONFIGURING R OUTING AND T RA NSLATION S ERVICES The example uses the following multi- site system: ■ R1a identifies the primary call processor in r egion 1. ■ R1b identifies the secondary call processor in region 1. ■ IPM1a identifies the primary IP Messaging server in region 1.
Route Plan Configuration Requiremen ts 287 Repeat steps 1 through 6 for the other branch offices that use global IP Messaging services. Configuring Routes for Local IP Messaging on a Branch Office This example describes how to create IP Messaging routes on a branch office that uses local IP Messaging services.
288 C HAPTER 10: C ONFIGURING R OUTING AND T RA NSLATION S ERVICES In this example, you would create one route plan that associates IPMRoute1 with the pattern 5* . For instructions, see Adding a Route Plan . Repeat steps 1 through 6 for the other branch offices that use local IP Messaging services.
Route Plan Configuration Requiremen ts 289 f Add an end point of the type Gateway that points to C4 . For instructions on adding an end point, see Adding End Points . 4 Create five r outes . IPMRoute1 includes the end points created for IPM1a and IPM1b .
290 C HAPTER 10: C ONFIGURING R OUTING AND T RA NSLATION S ERVICES 6 Configure a r oute plan to asso ciate a pattern and a route. In this example, you would create five r oute plans: IPMplan1 — Associates IPMRoute1 with the pattern 5* . IPMplan2 — Associates IPMRoute2 with the pattern 6* .
