User's Manual 23. Routing
configured in the Tel-to-IP Routing table. These rules must be configured anywhere below
the "main" routing rule and with identical matching characteristics (e.g., destination prefix
number) to the "main" routing rule. The device uses the first alternative route that is
available. For more information on configuring alternative Tel-to-IP routing rules in the Tel-
to-IP Routing table, see ''Configuring Tel-to-IP Routing Rules'' on page 475.
Note: Alternative routing based on IP connectivity is applicable only when a proxy
server is not used.
The device searches for an alternative routing rule (IP destination) when any of the
following connectivity states are detected with the IP destination of the "main" routing rule:
No response received from SIP OPTIONS messages. This depends on the chosen
method for checking IP connectivity.
Poor QoS according to the configured thresholds for packet loss and delay.
Unresolved DNS, if the configured IP destination is a domain name (or FQDN). If the
domain name is resolved into two IP addresses, the timeout for INVITE re-
transmissions can be configured using the HotSwapRtx parameter. For example, if the
parameter is configured to 3 and the device receives no response upon its initial
INVITE message to the first IP address, it attempts up to three times to route the call
to the first IP address and if unsuccessful, it attempts to re-route the call to the second
resolved IP address.
The connectivity status of the IP destination is displayed in the 'Status' column of the Tel-
to-IP Routing table per routing rule. If it displays a status other than "ok", the device
considers the IP destination as unavailable and attempts to re-route the call to an
alternative destination. For more information on the IP connectivity methods and on
viewing IP connectivity status, see ''IP Destinations Connectivity Feature'' on page 491.
The table below shows an example of alternative routing where the device uses an
available alternative routing rule in the Tel-to-IP Routing table to re-route the initial Tel-to-IP
call.

The following procedure describes how to configure alternative Tel-to-IP routing based on
IP connectivity.
To configure alternative Tel-to-IP routing based on IP connectivity:
1. In the Tel-to-IP Routing table (see ''Configuring Tel-to-IP Routing Rules'' on page
475), add alternative Tel-to-IP routing rules for specific calls.
