Overview: Default Call Routing Rules

Cisco Unity Connection has two call routing tables—one for direct calls and one for forwarded calls—that handle calls from users and from unidentified callers.

Direct rules handle calls from users and unidentified callers that are dialed directly to Cisco Unity Connection. The predefined direct routing rules are:

•Attempt Sign-In—Calls from users are routed to the user logon conversation.

•Opening Greeting—Calls from unidentified callers are routed to the Opening Greeting.

Forwarded rules handle calls that are forwarded to Cisco Unity Connection from either a user extension or from an extension that is not associated with a user account (such as a conference room). The predefined forwarded routing rules are:

•Attempt Forward—All calls forwarded from a user extension are routed to the user greeting.

•Opening Greeting—Calls forwarded from an extension that is not associated with a user account are routed to the Opening Greeting.

You can change the order of the Attempt Sign-In and Attempt Forward rules relative to additional rules that you add in the respective routing tables, but the Opening Greeting rule is always the last entry for both tables. You cannot modify or delete the predefined rules.

Adding Call Routing Rules

To Add a Call Routing Rule

Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Call Management, then expand Call Routing. For direct calls, click Direct Routing Rules. For forwarded calls, click Forwarded Routing Rules.

Step 2 On the Direct Routing Rules or Forwarded Routing Rules page, click Add New.

Step 4 Click Save.

Note When you create a new rule, you need to specify only the criteria that will be used to route the call, and can leave the other fields on the page blank. A blank field matches everything. For example, if you leave the Ports field blank, the rule applies to calls from all ports.

Step 6 When you have finished entering settings, click Save.
