ROUTES

In this tab you can configure and manage the routes to all the destinations you offer.

Figure 29 shows the Routes Window. Following is an explanation of each field of the table:

• Position

This field denotes the order in the RG Out to be followed when a provider does not connect a call. The call is re-routed to the next RG Out of the list. This field applies when the Least Cost Routing scheme is used.

• Resource Group

These are the Resource Group IDs that compose the route.

• Resource Group Description

This field contains the name of the carrier and other details of the Resource Group.

• Percentage

If the route works under the percentage scheme, this field denotes the percentage of traffic managed per Resource Group.

• Modified

The system fills this field automatically with the date of the last modification of the route.
