Creating Dial Patterns for Experience Portal Media Processing Platform Routing Policy

Last Updated : Sep 04, 2016 |

About this task

A Dial Pattern specifies a set of criteria and a set of Routing Policies for routing calls that match the criteria. The criteria include the called party number and SIP domain in the Request-URI, and the location from which the call originated. For example, if a call arrives at Session Manager and matches a certain Dial Pattern, then Session Manager selects one of the Routing Policies specified in the Dial Pattern. The selected Routing Policy in turn specifies the SIP Entity to which the call is to be routed.

Dial Patterns are matched after ingress Adaptations have already been applied.

Procedure

  1. On the System Manager web console, click Elements > Routing > Dial Patterns.
  2. On the Dial Patterns page, click New.
  3. In the General section, perform the following steps:
    1. In the Pattern field, enter a pattern.

      The pattern can have 1 to 49 characters. The valid pattern formats for different pattern types are as follows:

      • For regular patterns, [+*#0-9x][0-9x]{0,35}

      • For pattern ranges, [+0-9][0-9]{0,23}[:][+0-9][0-9]{0,23}

      • For patterns with Emergency number, [0-9]{0,35}

        Note:

        If you specify a Dial Pattern range, the system disables the Min, Max, and Emergency Call fields.

    2. In the Min field, enter the minimum number of digits to match in the Dial Pattern.
    3. In the Max field, enter the maximum number of digits to match in the Dial Pattern.
    4. In the SIP Domain field, select the correct SIP domain for your environment.

    1. Click Add.
    2. Select a Location.
    3. Select the appropriate Routing Policy.
