In this section:

This object creates and configures a call admission control (CAC) profile providing the ability for each SIP registered or static endpoint to have individualized limits on the number of active calls and the call rate. The Extended Emergency Limit feature allows an additional configurable number of emergency calls in case the call limit quota and emergency over subscription factor quota are exhausted.

Zone name is unique across all Address Contexts.

Emergency calls are allowed even if the Call Limit is configured to 0 (Zero).

The CAC is broadly classified into the following:

  • Egress—Specifies the egress-specific call admission control configuration.
  • Ingress—Specifies the ingress-specific call admission control configuration.

To View and Edit Cac

On the SBC main screen, go to Configuration > System Provisioning > Category: Base Provisioning > Zone > Cac. The Cac window is displayed. The Cac can be checked for each Address Context or for each Zone or for all the Address Contexts and Zones created. Use the drop-down box to select the desired Address Context and Zone.
