The total can be any whole number.

Testing

Select the desired mode for making test calls:

  • Normal - After testing and verifying a route, select this option to use the route for live calls. When selected, the  SBC returns the route regardless of the calling party category (CPC) value, or absence of a CPC value, received in the policy request. (Default setting).

  • Test - When the CPC value in a policy request is Test Call, the  SBC returns the route. When the CPC value is not Test Call or is not present in the policy request, the  SBC does not return the route.

  • Non-Test - When the CPC value in a policy request is Test Call, the  SBC does not return the route. When the CPC value is not Test Call or is not present in the policy request, the  SBC returns the route. Select this option for routes not to be returned during testing.

In Service

Select to indicate route is available for routing.

  • If the number representing the chosen Trunk Group matches with the code of any of the nations, the SBC assigns the corresponding nation's name to the Trunk Group.
  • After 20 entries are configured in the same Zone under Trunk Group (TG) or IP Peer, the drop-down list adjacent to the TG field disappears. The drop-down list is replaced by a new search panel.
