Call Routes
This chapter shows you how to control outbound calls and incoming calls with
outbound routes and inbound routes.
Outbound Routes
An outbound route works like a traffic cop giving directions to road users to use a
predefined route to reach a predefined destination.Outbound routes are used to
specify what numbers are allowed to go out a particular route. When a call is placed,
the actual number dialed by the user is compared with the dial patterns in each route
(from highest to lowest priority) until a match is found. If no match is found, the call
fails. If the number dialed matches a pattern in more than one route, only the rules
with the highest priority in the route are used.
Notes:
MyPBX Standard compares the number with the pattern that you have defined in
your route 1. If it matches, it will initiate the call using theselected trunks. If it does
not, it will compare the number with the pattern you have defined with route 2 and
so on. The outbound route which is in a higher position will be matched firstly.
