5.8.4.4 Reasons for Alternative Routing

The Reasons for Alternative Routing screen includes two tables (Tel IP and IP Tel). Each table
enables you to define up to 4 different release reasons. If a call is released as a result of one of
these reasons, the gateway tries to find an alternative route to that call. The release reason for
IP Tel calls is provided in Q.931 notation. The release reason for Tel IP calls is provided in SIP
4xx, 5xx and 6xx response codes. For Tel IP calls an alternative IP address, for IP Tel calls an
alternative trunk group.

Refer to ‘

Tel to IP Routing Table

’ on page

49

for information on defining an alternative IP

address. Refer to the ‘

IP to Trunk Group Routing Table

’ on page

51

for information on defining an

alternative trunk group.

You can use this table for example:

For Tel IP calls, when there is no response to an Invite message (after Invite retransmissions),
and the gateway then issues an internal 408 ‘No Response’ implicit release reason.

For IP Tel calls, when the destination is busy, and release reason #17 is issued or for other call
releases that issue the default release reason (#3). Refer to ‘DefaultReleaseCause’ in

Table

6-3

.

Note:

The reasons for alternative routing option for Tel IP calls only applies when Proxy isn’t

used.

To configure the reasons for alternative routing, take these 5 steps:

1.

Open the ‘Reasons for Alternative Routing’ screen (Protocol Management menu > Routing
Tables

submenu > Reasons for Alternative Routing option); the ‘Reasons for Alternative

Routing’ screen is displayed.
