Setting up partition groups example

Last Updated : Feb 15, 2016 |

About this task

In this example, your company provides your employees to make local, long distance, and emergency calls. However, you have a telephone in the lobby for visitors. You want to allow visitors to make only local, toll-free, and emergency calls from this telephone.

To restrict the telephone in the lobby, modify the routing for a partition group to enable only specific calls, such as US-based toll-free 1-800 calls. Then assign this partition group to the telephone. In this example, the partition group for the telephone in the lobby is partition group 2.

Procedure

  1. Enter list ars route-chosen 1800n, where n is any 7-digit telephone number to create an example of the dialed string.

    In this example, type 18002221000.

  2. Note the route pattern for the selected dialed string.

    In this example, the route pattern for 1800 is p1. p1 indicates that the system uses the Partition Routing Table to determine what route pattern to use for each partition.

    If the system displays a number in the Route Pattern column without the letter p, all partitions use the same route pattern. You need to use the Partition Routing Table only if you want to use different route patterns for different partition groups.

  3. Select Enter to exit the screen.
  4. Enter change partition-route-table index n, where n is the route index number.

    In this example, the route index number is 1.

  5. In the PGN 2 column that corresponds to Route Index 1, type the same number as in the PGN 1 column.

    In this example, type 30.

    This entry tells the system to use route pattern 30 for partition group 2, and allow partition group 2 members to make calls to 1-800 numbers.

  6. Select Enter to save your changes.
