• Channel-specific Dial Plan profile—The unit routes a call received on a specific channel
to a channel assigned to the configured destination channel-group, and to a specified Dial
Plan profile. The Dial Plan profile either contains a dial number for the outgoing call or
enables you to specify digits that the unit prepends to the incoming calls’s called number.
In the latter case, the called number with prepended digits becomes the dial number for the
outgoing call.
• Caller-defined Dial Plan profile—The unit routes a call received on a specified channel to
a channel assigned to the configured destination channel-group. You configure the unit to
strip either the first digit or the first two digits from the called number. The unit uses the
stripped digits to determine the Dial Plan profile for the call. For example, if you
configure the unit to strip the first two digits of the called number, and the unit receives the
called number 235551212, it uses Dial Plan profile 23 for the outgoing call.
You can specify that if the unit receives a call on a channel that has not been assigned an
outgoing channel, it routes the call on the basis of Answer Plan profiles. The unit then
compares the called number and the data service of the call to those configured in the Answer
Plan profiles. You do not need to configure an Answer Plan profile with both a number and a
data service, but if you do, both must match to have a successful comparison. If the unit makes
a successful comparison, it places the outgoing call on a channel assigned to the specified
destination channel-group.
MAXDAX call-routing flowchart
Figure 3-4 shows how a MAX unit, with MAXDAX enabled, routes an incoming call. If
MAXDAX does not route the call, the unit routes the call according to call routing as discussed
in “Configuring inbound calls” on page 3-59.
Note: Figure 3-4 does not include any greater than symbols. An angle bracket (>) points to
the next menu item in the path to a parameter.
