Session Router Configuration
dest-interface Specifies the CS interface (name) to be used as the outgoing interface.
<function>
Is the name of a number manipulation function to be executed before the call setup
is forwarded to the next routing table or the destination interface
Note:
To support broadcast features the routing table needs a default entry !
22.2 Warning
The Session Router allows you to solve practically any call routing and number manipulation
requirement that you may have. The Session Router is very flexible in allowing the construction of
decision trees based on linked routing tables. However you should take care not to use too many
tables and an over-elaborate structure. The configuration may become large and difficult to manage.
For complex configurations we recommend offline editing and configuration downloads.
22.3 Session Router Configuration Task List
To configure the Session Router, perform the tasks in the following sections and in order as listed
below.
•
Map out the goals for the Session Router
•
Configure the Entry Table on Circuit Interfaces
•
Configure Session Router Tables
•
Configure Number Manipulation Functions
•
Deleting Routing Tables and Functions
•
Activate the Session Router Configuration
22.4 Map out the Goals for the Session Router
There are many possible policies and factors that may influence the Session Router configuration.
Some examples are:
•
Least Cost routing
•
On-net off-net call routing
•
ISDN Service routing
•
Carrier selection
•
Service quality
•
Fallback strategies
•
Network and gateway selection
Other factors that must be taken into account are:
•
available number ranges (DDI, MSN, PISN), and
•
potential restrictions imposed by neighbouring equipment (Gatekeepers, Remote Gateways,
PBXs) on the number length or range to be used.
The Session Router is able to accommodate almost every combination of these requirements through
a customized configuration.
In order to keep this configuration compact we recommend that you first define the routing
requirements and restrictions that apply to your installation. Then define the tables and number

manipulation functions that you need to fulfil these requirements. Finally define the decision tree
(i.e. the sequence in which the tables and functions are linked together). In this step you may realize
