Feature interactions
Call Redirections
The Alternative Call Routing for NBWM feature works with Call Transfer,
Call Forward All Calls, and Conference. Redirection operates as if the user
dialed the ALTPrefix manually.
Multiple Appearance Directory Number
If telephone endpoints sharing Multiple Appearance DNs (MADNs) are
configured in different zones, then this feature handles the call in the same
way that Network Bandwidth Management does. The zone number of the
telephone that is prime for the DN is the only zone considered.
Network Bandwidth Management
The Alternative Call Routing for NBWM feature does not detect insufficient
bandwidth. It reacts to insufficient bandwidth detected by the Network
Bandwidth Management and Adaptive Network Bandwidth Management
features. For more information on these two features, refer to IP Peer
Networking: Installation and Configuration (553-3001-213).
Network Class of Service
The telephone calling must have an NCOS assigned that allows the call to use
the alternate route.
Network Routing Service (NRS)
Both the main office and branch office must be registered on the Nortel NRS
for tandem routing to work for main office to branch office tandeming.
Trunk Route Optimization (TRO)
Disable Trunk Route Optimization between the branch office (or SRG) and
the main office in order to allow the tandeming required for the feature to
work.
Virtual Office
It is not possible to determine the real Bandwidth Zone of a telephone logged
in as a Virtual Office telephone.
