Question 97 of 490
Question
In a Cisco Unified Communications Manager design where +E.164 destinations are populated in directory entries, which call routing practice is critical to prevent unnecessary toll charges caused by internal calls routed through the PSTN?
Answers
A.
Forced On-Net Routing - It is not uncommon for the dialing habits for on-net/inter-site and off-net destinations to use the same addressing structure.
In this case the call control decides whether the addressed endpoint, user, or application is on-net or off-net based on the dialed address, and will treat the call as on-net or off-net, respectively.
Figure 14-4 shows an example of this forced on-net routing.
All four calls in this example are dialed as 91 plus 10 digits.
But while the calls to +1 408 555 2345 and +1 212 555 7000 are really routed as off-net calls through the PSTN gateway, the other two calls are routed as on-net calls because the call control identifies the ultimate destinations as on-net destinations.
Forced on-net routing clearly shows that the dialing habit used does not necessarily also determine how a call is routed.
In this example, some calls are routed as on-net calls even though the used PSTN dialing habit seems to indicate that an off-net destination is called.
Figure 14-4 Forced On-Net Routing -
Forced on-net routing is especially important if dialing of +E.164 destinations from directories is implemented.
In a normalized directory, all destinations are defined as +E.164 numbers, regardless of whether the person that the number is associated with is internal or external.
In this case forced on-net routing is a mandatory requirement to avoid charges caused by internal calls routed through the PSTN.
