ROUTES

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

Figure 29. Routes Window.

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.

Figure 32. Route Configuration Window - 2.

1. You can re-order the Resource Groups by dragging them and dropping them in another position. This is useful to determine the position of the RG Out when working under Least Cost Route scheme.

1. If working under the percentage scheme, you can edit the percentage of calls the Resource Groups are going to manage (see Figure 33).

Figure 33. Route Configuration Window - 3.

You can track the percentage distribution in the cell under Percentage (Figure 34).

SYSTEM

In this chapter, technical details of the network topology described in chapter 1 are managed.

SIP Route Server

In this option the routing servers – Ariadna, are defined. These servers are responsible for managing the static and automatic routing.

Figure 38. SIP Route Server.

You can add and delete routing servers of the list by using the corresponding buttons.

SIP Route Server Cluster

In the process, the Back to Back User Agent – Minos- queries the routing servers and in return, the routing servers will deliver the list of qualified suppliers to terminate the call. In this table the pair of routing servers that the B2BUA query, are defined.

Figure 39. SIP Route Server Cluster.

The percentage of calls a B2BUA will consult to a routing server or the other is defined in the SIP Route Server Cluster. For example, in row 1 of figure 39 the User Agent queries the routing server Madrid and Miami in the same percentage of calls.

You can add and delete SIP Routing Server Clusters of the list by using the corresponding buttons.

SIP B2BUA

This table defines the list of B2BUA associated with the SIP Route Server Clusters.

Figure 40. SIP B2BUA.

SIP Proxy

This table defines the list of B2BUAs associated with the Proxy –Talos- and the percentage of calls per User Agent.

Figure 41. SIP Proxy.

To edit a Route Server:

1. Select the check box of the Proxy list you want to edit and click “Edit”. The following window will appear.
