This page contains a simple example to demonstrate the manipulation of the ext= and phone-context= tags of the SIP URI for calls to and from Lync clients. The Ribbon SBC 1000/2000 system will send calls to a Lync client with ext and phone-context configured properly, and when received, the Lync client will appropriately set the calling number based on the phone-context value:

Call Route Table

We create a call routing table with the following 3 call routing entries in it. Two of the entries point to Transformation tables for calls that originate from SIP and PSTN devices to a Lync client, and the third call routing entry points to a Transformation table for a call that originates from a Lync client to a PSTN device:
