Configuration Terms Description
IP Group and destination host name. The manipulation rules are also
assigned a Routing Policy, which in turn, is assigned to IP-to-IP routing
rules. As most deployments require only one Routing Policy, the default
Routing Policy is automatically assigned to the manipulation rules and to
the routing rules.
Routing Policy Routing Policy logically groups routing and manipulation (inbound and
outbound) rules to a specific SRD. It also enables Least Cost Routing
(LCR) for routing rules and associates an LDAP server for LDAP-based
routing. However, as multiple Routing Policies are required only for multi-
tenant deployments, for most deployments only a single Routing Policy is
required. When only a single Routing Policy is required, handling of this
configuration entity is not required as a default Routing Policy is provided,
which is automatically associated with all relevant configuration entities.
Call Admission Control Call Admission Control (CAC) lets you configure the maximum number of
permitted concurrent calls (SIP dialogs) per IP Group, SIP Interface, SRD,
or user.
Accounts Accounts are used to register or authenticate a "served" SIP entity (e.g., IP
PBX) with a "serving" SIP entity (e.g., a registrar or proxy server). The
device does this on behalf of the "served" IP Group. Authentication (SIP
401) is typically relevant for INVITE messages forwarded by the device to a
"serving" IP Group. Registration is for REGISTER messages, which are
initiated by the device on behalf of the "serving" SIP entity.
The associations between the configuration entities are summarized in the following figure:
