Components of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 System Users are can route national and international PSTN calls through the service provider by dialing the appropriate carrier selection code. You can configure the Carrier Selection Profiles under Connections > Carrier Selection Profiles in Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface. For More Information • Table 33: Settings on the Carrier Selection Profiles Page, on page 193 (for the Carrier Selection Profiles page in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface) Connection Groups Prior to Release 8.6.4, Cisco Business Edition 3000 supported the configuration of single connection group for each site consisting of local connections only or all connections in the system or a custom selection of the available connections. With Release 8.6.4, the administrator can configure different connection groups for each site. A connection group is a group of PSTN connections that is used to route a particular group of calls. The criteria for configuring the connection groups include the class of call and the outside dial code. Each connection group is a group of PSTN connections with a route list and a route group with selected connections. You can configure only the internal gateway during the First Time Setup. Therefore, the calls are routed through the internal gateways after the First Time Setup. A default system-generated "All Connections" group is created which includes all the gateways configured on the Cisco Business Edition 3000. The PSTN connections are listed in the order of SIP connections, MGCP connections, PRI connections, CAS connections and SPA analog gateways. The connections are further ordered based on the description. Every site is configured to use All Connections group to route PSTN calls. Note If you have upgraded the Cisco Business Edition 3000 from an earlier version to Release 8.6.4, a system-generated connection group is formed which includes all the gateways in that site before the upgrade. The naming convention for this connection group is Connections. Each site will be associated to its respective connection group. By default, the sites will use their connection groups. When a new site is created, the system creates the All Connections connection group and uses it as the default connection group. New configuration groups can be created using the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface corresponding to the gateway usage of each site. All the calls from this site will be routed through the corresponding connection group. You can configure the connection groups using the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface on the Connections > Connection Groups page. For more information about the parameters to configure a connection group using the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface, see Table 37: Settings on the Connection Groups Page, on page 205. An error message appears if there are no PSTN connections in the connection group. All calls from the site will be configured to use the corresponding connection group. The configuration of PSTN call routing allows you to: • Route all calls through a single connection group • Route calls through different connection groups based on outside dial code • Route calls through different connection groups based on a combination of outside dial code and class of call OL-27022-01 Administration Guide for Cisco Business Edition 3000, Release 8.6(4) 31
