VRC Concepts

This topic describes the main concepts and view windows of Cisco Voice Routing Center (VRC) software.

VRC is designed so that you can make dial plan changes for either the:

Note: There can be only one design session open per region, but through regional administration, multiple users can be doing regional designs. Only one user at a time can do an AD level design, and that design session blocks any regional design session.

A scope is the area managed by the network administrator. A design scope can be the entire AD or a region.

A scope is a logical construct used to organize the network through the VRC and does not correspond to a physical apparatus.

VRC Version 1.2 uses CNS security services for user administration and authorization.

Main VRC Views

VRC has three distinct modes of operation, called views. Each view provides different capabilities for managing a dial plan.

Note: When integrated with PTC, VRC uses the PTC Topology Manager. The VRC Topology View is not accessible from the VRC client.

Refer to the VRC Quick Start for more information on how to use the VRC software application.
