Alternate Route

Enum
Route Row, Alt Route
Ignore Inputs, Alt Route
Consider Inputs
Instant Determines whether this routing rule is
the main routing rule or an alternative
routing rule.
Route Row – main routing rule – the
device first attempts to route the call to
this route if the incoming INVITE's input
characteristics matches this rule.
Alt Route Ignore Inputs – if the call
cannot be routed to the main route
(Route Row), the call is routed to this
alternative route regardless of the
incoming INVITE's input characteristics.
Alt Route Consider Inputs – if the call
cannot be routed to the main route
(Route Row), the call is routed to this
alternative route only if the incoming
INVITE matches this IP-to-IP routing
rule's input characteristics.
Notes:
The alternative route entry, must be
defined in the next consecutive table
entry to the Route Row entry (i.e.,
directly below it). For example, if Index 4
is configured as a Route Row, Index 5
must be configured as the alternative
route.
Multiple alternative route entries can be
configured (e.g., Index 1 is the main
route - Route Row - and indices 2
through 4 are configured as alternative
routes).
Alternative routing applies to INVITE and
other dialog initiating SIP messages
(except REGISTER messages).
For IP-to-IP alternative routing, configure
SBC alternative routing reasons upon
receipt of 4xx, 5xx, and 6xx SIP
responses (in the 'SBC Alternative
Routing Reasons' table).
If no response, ICMP, or 408 SIP
response is received, the device
attempts to use the alternative route
even if no entries are configured in the
'SBC Alternative Routing Reasons' table.
