Managing the Line Selection for Outbound Calls
When a user places an outbound call, the SPA9000 chooses a line based on the group
membership of the station and the Call Routing Rule for the line interface. You can configure
the settings to route calls through particular lines, based on factors such as the dialed number,
the destination, or the corporate identity that you want to represent.

Configuring a Call Routing Rule
A Call Routing Rule is a special dial plan that specifies the lines that can be used to transmit a
dialed number. The same number pattern can apply to more than one line.
