Advanced Call Control and Routing
Call Routing Group Line Preference
After you create a group, you must enter a list of lines, in the preferred order. When a group
member places a call, the SPA9000 chooses the first line in the list. If it is unavailable, the
SPA9000 chooses the next line, and so on, until an available line is found. To enter the lines, type
the line numbers in the desired order, separated by commas.
Note
The field cannot be left blank.
USE CASE EXAMPLE:
The administrator enters the line preferences for each group in
the following fields:
–
Group 1 Line:
2,1
Outbound calls from Group 1 (New York) go out through Line 2 (SPA400 connected
to PSTN lines). If that line interface is not available, calls can go out through Line 1
(general use ITSP account).
–
Group 2 Line:
3,1
Outbound calls from Group 2 (Los Angeles) go out through Line 3 (ITSP account with
a Los Angles DID number). If that line interface is not available, calls can go out
through Line 1 (general use ITSP account).
–
Group 3 Line:
4,1
Outbound calls from Group 3 (London) go out through Line 4 (ITSP account with a
London DID number). If that line interface is not available, calls can go out through
Line 1 (general use ITSP account).
