scripts you are recommended to use an external policy service instead.
For information on the CPL syntax and commands that are supported by the VCS, see the CPL reference
[p.366] section.
Viewing existing CPL script
To view the Call Policy that is currently in place as an XML-based CPL script, go to the Call Policy
configuration page (Configuration > Call Policy > Configuration) and click Show Call Policy file.
n If Call Policy is configured to use a CPL script, this shows you the script that was uploaded.
n If Call Policy is configured by the Call Policy rules page, this shows you the CPL version of those call
policy rules.
n If Call Policy mode is On but a policy has not been configured, this shows you a default CPL script that
allows all calls.
You may want to view the file to take a backup copy of the Call Policy, or, if Call Policy has been configured
using the Call Policy rules page you could take a copy of this CPL file to use as a starting point for a more
advanced CPL script.
If Call Policy has been configured using the Call Policy rules page and you download the CPL file and then
upload it back to the VCS without editing it, the VCS will recognize the file and automatically add each rule
back into the Call Policy rules page.
About CPL XSD files
The CPL script must be in a format supported by the VCS. The Call Policy configuration page allows you
to download the XML schemas which are used to check scripts that are uploaded to the VCS. You can use
the XSD files to check in advance that your CPL script is valid. Two download options are available:
n Show CPL XSD file: displays in your browser the XML schema used for the CPL script.
n Show CPL Extensions XSD file: displays in your browser the XML schema used for additional CPL
elements supported by the VCS.
Uploading a CPL script
To upload a new CPL file:
1. Go to Configuration > Call Policy > Configuration.
2. From the Policy files section, in the Select the new Call Policy file field, enter the file name or Browse
to the CPL script you want upload.
3. Click Upload file.
The VCS polls for CPL script changes every 5 seconds, so the VCS will almost immediately start using the
updated CPL script. CPL scripts cannot be uploaded using the command line interface.
Deleting an existing CPL script
If a CPL script has already been uploaded, a Delete uploaded file button will be visible. Click it to delete the
file.
