Number of Discarded Symbols
requires the number of symbols
that should be discarded from the beginning of the routing pattern.
The field should be empty if digits do not need to be discarded.
Only numeric values are allowed for this field, otherwise the error
message “Error: Number of Discarded Symbols is incorrect - digits
allowed only” will appear.
Prefix requires entering the symbols (letters, digits and any
characters supported in the SIP username) that will be placed in
front of the routing pattern instead of the discarded digits. The
following tags can be used for this field:
Fig.II- 138: Call Routing Wizard - page 1
• <callerid:range> - used to apply the complete or a part of caller ID (the caller’s number detected during the call) as a prefix. For example, <callerid:1-
3> indicates that the first 3 digits of the caller ID will be considered as a prefix, <callerid:3-end> indicates that the caller ID from its 3
rd
digit and up to
the end will be applied as a prefix. This tag can be used in combination with other digits at the beginning or at the end, as well as with wildcards.
• <dialednum:range> - used to apply the complete or a part of dialed number (the number dialed by the caller to place a call) as a prefix. For example,
<dialednum:1-3> indicates that the first 3 digits of the dialed number will be considered as a prefix, <dialednum:3-end> indicates that the dialed
number from its 3
rd
digit and up to the end will be applied as a prefix. This tag can be used in combination with other digits at the beginning or at the
end, as well as with wildcards.
The syntax aaa,,,bbb in the Prefix field allows for two-stage dialing. The aaa and bbb are the numbers to call; bbb can also be a series of digits to inject; a
comma indicates a delay of one second. The syntax can be applied to include more call destination numbers separated by time intervals. A two-stage
dialing allows successive numbers to be dialed one after another with a delay in-between. For example, 11,,,11018 will call 11, wait until the call is
established, wait for three seconds and then dial 11018. The capability of automatically dialing successive numbers allows the caller to bypass the IVR
system on the call path and establish a direct call. The two-stage dialing is available for PBX and ISDN destination types.
Suffix requires entering the symbols (letters, digits and any characters supported in the SIP username) that will be placed in the end of the routing
pattern. For example, if the routing Pattern is 12345, the Number of Discarded Symbols is two, and the Prefix is 909 and Suffix is 0a, the final phone
number will be 9093450a.
Destination Type gives you the option to select the destination type. The following destination types are available:
• PBX - local calls to QX IP PBX’s extensions
• PBX-Voicemail - calls directly to the voice mailbox of the local PBX extension
• PBX-Intercom - local calls to PBX extensions with the request of Intercom service (see Manual III – Extension Users Guide)
• SIP – calls through a SIP server
• SIP_Tunnel – calls through a SIP tunnels established (see SIP Tunnel Settings)
• IP-PSTN – calls through the IP-PSTN provider to the remote PSTN global telephone network
• FXO – calls to a PSTN global telephone network. Calls to the FXO global telephone network through shared FXO lines are also present if
available.
• ISDN – calls to the PSTN global telephone network through shared ISDN trunk (this option is only present when there are shared ISDN trunks
available on the QX IP PBX)
• E1/T1 – calls to the PSTN global telephone network through shared E1/T1trunk (this option is only present when there are shared E1/T1
trunks available on the QX IP PBX)
Metric allows entering a rating for the selected route in a range from 0 to 20. If a value is not inserted into this field, 10 will be used as the default. If two
route entries match a user’s dial string, the route with the lower metric will be chosen.
The Description text field requires an optional description of the routing pattern.
The Filter on Source / Modify Caller ID checkbox selection allows limiting the functionality of the current route to be used by the defined caller(s) only.
If this checkbox is enabled, source caller information (Source Number Pattern, Source Type, Source Host, etc.) will be required later in the Call Routing
Wizard. This option is enabled by default.
The Set Date / Time Period(s) checkbox selection allows you to define a validity period(s) for current routing patterns to take place and to define pattern
date/time rules. When this checkbox is enabled, the Call Routing Wizard - Date/Time Rules - Add Entry page will be displayed.
The Set Overall Calling Time Limit checkbox selection allows a total call duration for all calls to be configured over a specific time frame for each Call
Routing entry. Once the total duration has been reached, the entry can be disabled, allowing calls to use the next available route.
