62. Outbound Route Patterns Pattern Chooses the route Route Choice is “final” Subsequent routes that also match the number will never be tried Pattern can only remove leading digits Common example, emulate old style PBX 9|1NXXNXXXXXX Outbound Call Flow Routes, Trunks, Dial Patterns Busy, Answer, No Answer Busy, Answer, No Answer Congested, Channel Unavailable Congested, Channel Unavailable Strip digits If configured All Circuits Busy Bad Number Context Route 1 (Emergency) Match? Route 2 Match? Route 3 Match ? Next Trunk Next Trunk Tip: Always make your first route your Emergency Route to handle E911 and other related calls. This assures that numbers matching your emergency patterns will ALWAYS go down the Emergency Route.

63. CallerID Handling Originated Call From User or Forwarded Call (CF, Follow-Me, etc.) Emer- gency Route Emer- gency CID? Intra- Company Outbound CID Trunk CID Trunk CID Set Never Overide CID CID Set? Trunk CID?
