 Use the Crankback Profile window to work with crankback profiles.

A crankback profile consists of a list

 

This object creates a Call Crankback Profile. This profile is a table of call release codes that cause the 

Spacevars
0series
 to attempt to reroute the SBC uses to determine whether to reroute (or "crankback") a call if the call when a matching code is returned by Egress Signaling.

The Call Crankback Profile contains the call release codes that automatically cause the

Spacevars
0series
software to attempt to reroute the call. Additional release codes may be added to the table. Any release code that is in the table, including any default code, may be removed from the table.

Removing a release code from the table causes the

Spacevars
0series
software to return that release code to Ingress Signaling rather than attempting to reroute the call.

does not connect successfully to the initial destination. If egress signaling returns a release code that is in the reason code list in the crankback profile, the SBC attempts to crankback the call. If a release code is not in the list, the SBC returns the release code to ingress signaling rather than attempting to reroute the call. 

You can configure which release codes trigger rerouting by adding or removing release codes from a crankback profile. You also have the option to associate a location value with a specific reason code. When a location is configured and enabled, the specified location value must be included along with the reason code in the egress disconnect signaling to trigger crankback. Including a location with a reason code is optional.

The SBC provides a default crankback profile (named "default"), the contents of which can be edited. Or, you can create your own crankback profiles. The SBC supports a total of 20 crankback profiles in the system.

For flexibility, crankback profiles can be assigned at three levels: trunk group, zone, and global. By default, the "default" crankback profile is assigned at the SBC global level, while the trunk group and zone level crankback profile settings are initially empty (" "). Thus in the SBC default configuration, trunk groups and zones inherit the default crankback profile from the global level. However, if you configure a profile at the trunk group or zone level, the user-specified profile assigned at the most specific level takes precedence.

To View Crankback Profiles

On the On SBC main screen, go to Configuration > Profile Management > Category: Call Routing Profiles > Crankback Profile. The Crankback Profile window is displayed.

Info
titleNotes on Using Crankback for DNS
  • dnsCrankback needs to be enabled on the egress sipTrunkGroup.
  • The crankbackProfile assigned to the egress sipTrunkGroup is used for DNS crankback.
  • The  SBC maps the received SIP response from the egress call leg using the sipToCpcCauseMapProfile from the egress sipTrunkGroup. The It then looks up the CPC cause is then looked up code in the egress sipTrunkGroup's crankbackProfile.
    • If a match is found, the SBC attempts a new target.
    • If a match is not found, SBC skips the DNS crankback and proceeds with the normal crankback at CC level using the ingress sipTrunkGroup's crankback profile.
