Parameter Description
Default Cost
CLI: lcr-default-cost
[RoutingRuleGroups_LCRDefaul
tCost]
Determines whether routing rules in the Outbound IP Routing
table without an assigned Cost Group are considered a higher
cost or lower cost route compared to other matched routing
rules that are assigned Cost Groups.
[0] Lowest Cost = If the device locates other matching LCR
routing rules, this routing rule is considered the lowest cost
route and therefore, it is selected as the route to use
(default.)
[1] Highest Cost = If the device locates other matching LCR
routing rules, this routing rule is considered as the highest
cost route and therefore, is not used or used only if the other
cheaper routes are unavailable.
Note: If more than one valid routing rule without a defined Cost
Group exists, the device selects the first-matched rule.
15.5.2.2 Configuring Cost Groups

connection cost and a call rate (charge per minute). Once configured, you can configure
Time Bands per Cost Group. Up to 10 Cost Groups can be configured.
The following procedure describes how to configure Cost Groups in the Web interface. You
can also configure this using the table ini file parameter, CostGroupTable or CLI command,
configure voip > services least-cost-routing cost-group.
To configure a Cost Group:

3. Configure a Cost Group according to the parameters described in the table below.
