Ingress Route Attributes

You can view the general attributes of a selected ingress route in the Design View or the Baseline View:

  1. Expand the dial plan tree to view all components.

  2. Select the zone which contains the ingress route to view.

  3. Select the Ingress Route tab. The ingress routes for this zone are listed.

  4. Double-click a specific ingress route to display the attributes. Alternately, you can right-click and choose View from the menu.

The attributes are described in the following table:

General Attributes

Description

Name

The name of the ingress route. This name must be unique among all ingress and egress route names in the managed zone. Maximum value 64 characters.

Dial-Peer Type

Determines the dial peers created in the VRC-generated CLI.

  • Both - VRC configures an inbound POTS and an outbound VoIP dial peer for this route.

  • POTS - VRC configures a single POTS dial peer for this route. Use this parameter to specify a POTS only route to a specific port.

  • VoIP -  VRC configures a single VoIP dial peer for this route.

Pattern

The destination pattern, or dialed digit string supported by this route. Must match pattern: ^[][0-9,ABCD#*.?+%()-^]*T?(\$)?$.  Maximum value is 32 characters.

If the dial peer type is POTS, AND either the DNIS, ANI, or source carrier is set, this parameter is optional. Otherwise, this is a required parameter.

Tip: If you end the destination pattern with the * symbol, this indicates a variable length string. For example, 3657* means that the pattern starts with 3657 and may or may not have more characters.

Priority

Sets the IP precedence for packets sent by the dial peer. The default is 0. The range is 0 to 10.

Tech. Prefix

The technology prefix used for this route.

Feature Set

The VRC feature set supported by this ingress route. Choose from dp1.0 or dp1.1. The default is dp1.0.

ANI

The calling number for which this route is applicable. Must match pattern: ^((\+)?([0-9,#*ABCD]+)\.*T?)$.  Maximum value is 32 characters.

Voice Class Codec

The Voice Class Codec used by the outbound VoIP dial peer.

Numbering Type

The numbering type. Choose from international, national, abbreviated, network, reserved, subscriber, and unknown. The default is blank.

Huntstop

Specifies whether to add a huntstop to the last dial peer in this route.

ARA Type

The address resolution authority (ARA) to use for this route. Choose from OSP Server, gatekeeper group (GKGrp), or ipv4. If the dial peer type is other than POTS, this parameter is required.

  • If you choose OSP Server, the OSP server associated with the zone assigns the route to a gateway. All associated gateways must have OSP enabled.

  • If you choose GKGrp, RAS is used to assign the route to a gateway.

  • If you choose ipv4, a route parameter is used to assign the route to a gateway.

Routing Scope

The scope of this ingress route. Choose from a managed zone or a route scope.

  • If the dial peer type is POTS or both, this parameter can only reference the managed zone or a route scope of type gateway or voice port.

  • If the dial peer type is VoIP, this parameter can only reference the managed zone or a route scope with type gateway.

If you choose managed zone, the zone must be the same zone to which this ingress route belongs, and the VRC feature set of the zone must be the same or better than the feature set of this ingress route.

If you choose route scope, the VRC feature set of the route scope must be the same or better than the feature set of this ingress route.

DNIS

The dialed number identification service (the called number). String must match pattern: ^[][0-9,ABCD#*.?+%()-^]*T?(\$)?$.  Maximum value is 32 characters.

Source Carrier

Specifies the carrier ID or trunk label for the inbound VoIP dial peer. This parameter can only be set if the VRC feature set is of this ingress route is dp1.1 or later AND the CSR route type of the AD is carrier or trunk-label.

Description

An optional description of this ingress route. Maximum value is 64 characters.

 Translation Profiles

Description

Incoming Translation Profile

Associates a translation profile for the incoming side of gateway. If you set this optional parameter, the VRC feature set of this ingress route must be dp1.1 or later. If you set this parameter, you must also reference a translation profile with a feature set of dp1.1 or later.

Outgoing Translation Profile

Associates a translation profile for the outgoing side of the gateway. If you set this optional parameter, the VRC feature set of the translation profile must match the VRC feature set of this ingress route.

Call-Block Profile

Adds a call blocking profile to the inbound dial peer for this route. If you set this optional parameter, the VRC feature set of this ingress route must be dp1.1 or later. You must also use a translation profile with a feature set of dp1.1 or later.

Disconnect Cause

 

You must set this if a call blocking profile is set. Choose from call-rejected, invalid-number, unassigned-number, or user-busy.

Application

Description

Inbound Application

An inbound voice application in this zone to be applied to this ingress route. You can only set this parameter if the dial peer type is set to POTS or both.

Inbound DNIS Map

The DNIS map to apply to the inbound application. You can only set this parameter if the dial peer type is both or POTS AND you have set an inbound application for this route.

Outbound Application

An outbound voice application in this zone to be applied to this ingress route. You can only set this parameter if the dial peer type is set to VoIP or both.

Outbound DNIS Map

The DNIS map to apply to the outbound application. You can only set this parameter if the dial peer type is both or VoIP AND you have set an outbound application for this route.

Validation State

Indicates whether the Cisco VRC server can contact the element during the Validation process.

  • Unknown - The Validation status is unknown.

  • OK - The last validation detected no warnings or errors.

  • Warning - The last validation detected one or more warnings that you might be required to correct before you commit the dial plan, depending on your intent of the dial plan design.

  • Fatal  - The last validation detected one or more errors that you must correct before you commit the dial plan.

Refer to Validation Flags and Validation Issues for more information.
