When a user dials, and the telephone cannot capture the preferred line (First Route), the system
tries each successive defined route (Second Route, then Third Route). If none of these routes have
available lines, the call reverts to the Normal mode. When the call switches from the preferred
routing mode (First Route, Second Route, Third Route) to Normal mode, the telephone display
flashes an “expensive route” warning. VoIP trunking uses a similar process for setting up fallback
from the VoIP trunk to a PSTN line.
Setting up VoIP trunks for fallback
Fallback is a feature that allows a call to progress when a VoIP trunk is unavailable or is not
providing adequate quality of service (QoS).
Refer to “Setting up VoIP trunks for fallback” on page 429 for details about setting up fallback for
VoIP trunks.
By enabling PSTN fallback on the Local Gateway IP Interface panels for H.323 trunks, you allow
the call to switch to a PSTN line if the VoIP trunk is not available or cannot produce the expected
quality. To access the Local Gateway IP Interface panel, select Configuration > Resources >
Telephony Resources > IP Trunks.
You use scheduling and destination codes to allow the call to switch from H.323 line pools to a
PSTN line without requiring intervention by the user.
Use the dialing plan worksheet in the Programming Records to plan your dialing requirements so
you can pinpoint any dialing issues before you start programming. If you are programming an
existing system, you can look at what numbers the users are familiar with dialing, and you can
attempt to accommodate this familiarity into your destination codes plan.
Figure 89 shows how a fallback network would be set up between two sites.
Note: Overflow routing directs calls using alternate line pools. A call
can be affected by different line filters when it is handled by overflow
routing.
