Adding a Zone Circuit

A zone circuit is a zone foreign to VRC that is referred to in a “zone circuit-id” command on a gatekeeper or directory gatekeeper.

A zone circuit assigns a trunk carrier (circuit-id) to a gateway.

If you are using carrier sensitive routing, use a zone circuit to set the source carrier ID in the LRQs received from remote zones.

Use this procedure to add a zone circuit to a gatekeeper group (GKGrp) or directory gatekeeper group (DGKGrp).

Note: You can only add a zone circuit to a gatekeeper group or directory gatekeeper group if the CSR route type of the AD is set to trunk-label or carrier AND the VRC feature set of the gatekeeper group or directory gatekeeper group is dp1.1 or later.

Procedure

You must be in the Design View to add a zone circuit.

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

  2. Locate the gatekeeper group or directory gatekeeper group you want to add a zone circuit to.

  3. Click the Zone Circuits tab.

  4. Right-click and choose Add from the menu. The Add Zone Circuit dialog box appears.

  5. Enter the zone circuit attribute information.

  6. Click Apply to add the zone circuit.
