Configuring Call Setup Rules
The Call Setup Rules table lets you configure up to 64 Call Setup rules. Call Setup rules define
various sequences that are run upon the receipt of an incoming call (dialog) at call setup, before the
device routes the call to its destination. You can configure Call Setup rules for any call direction -
IP-to-IP (SBC), Tel-to-IP, or IP-to-Tel calls. Call Setup rules provide you with full flexibility in
implementing simple or complex script-like rules that can be used for Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) based routing as well as other advanced routing logic requirements such as
manipulation. These Call Setup rules are assigned to routing rules.
Below is a summary of functions for which you can employ Call Setup rules:
■ LDAP queries: LDAP is used by the device to query Microsoft’s Active Directory (AD) server
for specific user details for routing, for example, office extension number, mobile number,
private number, OCS (Skype for Business) address, and display name. Call Setup rules
provides full flexibility in AD-lookup configuration to suit just about any customer deployment
requirement:
● Routing based on query results.
● Queries based on any AD attribute.
● Queries based on any attribute value (alphanumeric), including the use of the asterisk (*)
wildcard as well as the source number, destination number, redirect number, and SBC SIP
messages. For example, the following Call Setup rule queries the attribute
"proxyAddresses" for the record value "WOW:" followed by source number:
"proxyAddresses=WOW:12345*"
● Conditional LDAP queries, for example, where the query is based on two attributes (&
(telephoneNumber=4064)(company=ABC)).
● Conditions for checking LDAP query results.
● Manipulation of call parameters such as source number, destination number, and redirect
number and SBC SIP messages, while using LDAP query results.
● Multiple LDAP queries.
■ Dial Plan queries: For SBC calls, you can use Call Setup rules to query the Dial Plan table (see
Configuring Dial Plans) for a specified key in a specified Dial Plan to obtain the corresponding
Dial Plan tag. Call Setup rules can also change (modify) the name of the obtained tag. The
device can then route the call using an IP-to-IP Routing rule (in the IP-to-IP Routing table) that
has a matching tag (source or destination). You can also associate a Call Setup rule with an IP
Group (in the IP Group table). Once the device classifies the incoming call to a source IP
Group, it processes the associated Call Setup rule and then uses the resultant tag to locate a
matching IP-to-IP Routing rule. You can also use Call Setup rules for complex routing
schemes by using multiple Dial Plan tags. This is typically required when the source and/or
destination of the call needs to be categorized with more than one characteristics. For
example, tags can be used to categorize calls by department (source user) within a company,
where only certain departments are allowed to place international calls.
