Creating a Route Scope

A route scope is a collection of voice ports grouped for routing purposes. The collection may be in the form of a single voice port, a trunk group, a hunt group, or an entire gateway.

Route scopes are assigned to routes to specify where the routes originate or terminate. For example, if a route scope of gateway is assigned to an ingress route, all voice ports on the gateway are configured to originate calls for that route. Similarly, if a route scope of  type voice port is assigned to an egress route, only that voice port is configured to terminate the route.

Use this procedure to create a route scope to a zone.

Procedure

You must be in the Design View to create a route scope for a zone.

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

  2. Select the zone you want to create a route scope for.

  3. Click the Route Scope tab.

  4. Right-click and choose Add from the menu. The Add Route Scope dialog box appears.

  5. Enter the route scope attribute information.

  6. Click Apply to create the route scope for the zone.

The entry fields are described in the following table:

General Attributes

Description

Name

The name of the route scope. Maximum value is 64 characters.

Feature Set

The VRC feature set supported by this route scope. The default is dp1.0.

Type

Specifies where the routes in this route scope terminate. Choose from Gateway, Voice Port, Trunk Group, or Hunt Group. Trunk Group is not available if the VRC feature set is dp1.0. If the parent managed zone has a role of IPIP, this must be set to Gateway.

Description

An optional text description of this route scope. Maximum value is 255 characters.

Note: During the Discovery operation, VRC might rename your route scope. To change the route scope name back after Discovery, you must manually edit this attribute in the Design View.

Click Cancel to cancel the procedure.

After you create a route scope, you must create a route scope entry.
