Flexible Policy Adapter Profile

Use this Zone/Trunk Group parameter to associate a Sip Adapter Profile configured for flexible policy (Profile Type=Flexible Policy) with a particular Zone/Trunk Group.

If Flexible Policy Adapter Profile is provisioned both at the trunk group and zone levels, the trunk group’s profile takes precedence. If Input Adapter Profile is configured, it is applied first to manipulate the PDU and then Flexible Policy Adapter Profile rules are applied on the manipulated PDU.
