Use the CAC window to specify call admission control (CAC) limits for a specified zone. 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.

Note

Zone names must be unique across all address contexts.


Note

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

To View and Edit Zone CAC Settings

On the SBC main screen, go to Configuration > System Provisioning > Category: Base Provisioning > Zone > CAC. The CAC window is displayed.  Use the drop-down lists to select the desired Address Context and Zone.
