Route groups that consist of a list of resources (gateways) make up route lists. A route list associates a set of route groups with a route pattern and determines the order in which those route groups are accessed. The order controls the progress of the search for available trunk devices for outgoing calls.

A route list comprises a collection of resources (gateways, route groups) that route calls that match the defined route pattern. After Cisco CallManager determines a call that is to be routed through a defined route list, Cisco CallManager finds the first available device on the basis of the order of the route group(s) that are defined in a route list. Each route list should have at least one route group. Within each route group, you will find that at least one device, such as a gateway, is available. Based on device type, Cisco CallManager can select some, or all, ports as resources in each route group. Some devices, such as digital access, only allow you to select all ports.

Each route list can contain the same route groups that other route lists have already selected.

Finding Route Lists

Because you might have several route lists in your network, Cisco CallManager lets you use specific criteria to locate specific route lists. To locate route lists, use the following procedure.

---

Note During your work in a browser session, Cisco CallManager Administration retains your route list search preferences. If you navigate to other menu items and return to this menu item, Cisco CallManager Administration retains your route list search preferences until you modify your search or close the browser.

---

Procedure

---

Step 1 Choose Route Plan > Route List.

The Find and List Route Lists window displays.

Step 2 From the drop-down list box, choose one of the following criteria:

•begins with

•contains

•ends with

•is exactly

Step 3 Specify the appropriate search text, if applicable, and click Find. You can also specify how many items per page to display.

---

Note To find all route lists that are registered in the database, click Find without entering any search text.

---

A list of discovered route lists displays by

•Route list name

•Description

---

Note You can delete multiple route lists from the Find and List Route Lists window by checking the check boxes next to the appropriate route lists and clicking Delete Selected. You can delete all route lists in the window by checking the check box in the matching records title bar and clicking Delete Selected.

---

Step 4 Click the route list from the list of records that matches your search criteria.

The window displays the route list that you choose.

Adding a Route List

The following procedure describes how to add a route list.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Choose Route Plan > Route List.

Step 2 Click Add a New Route List.

Step 3 In the Route List Name field, enter a name. The name can comprise up to 50 alphanumeric characters and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). Ensure each route list name is unique to the route plan.

---

Timesaver Use concise and descriptive names for your route lists. The CompanynameLocationCalltype format usually provides a sufficient level of detail and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily identify a route list. For example, CiscoDallasMetro identifies a route list for toll-free, inter-local access transport area (LATA) calls from the Cisco office in Dallas.

---

Cisco CallManager automatically inserts a description in the Description field. You can, however, edit this field.

Step 4 To add this route list, click Insert.

Step 5 To add a route group to this list, click Add Route Group and perform Step 4 through Step 8 of the "Adding Route Groups to a Route List" section.

---

Note For called party and calling party transformation information, you can click on the Route Details for Route Groups link on the left side of the window. This action displays the Route Details Configuration window.

Adding Route Groups to a Route List

You can add route groups to a new route list or to an existing route list. Route groups can exist in one or more route lists. The following procedure describes adding a route group to an existing route list.

---

Note You cannot add route groups that contain MGCP gateways that use the QSIG protocol (a QSIG route group) and route groups that contain gateways that use the H.323 or H.225 protocol (H.323/H.225 route group) to the same route list. For more information, refer to the "Route Groups and Route Lists" section in the Cisco CallManager System Guide.

---

Before You Begin

You must build one or more route groups and add a route list before performing this procedure.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Choose Route Plan > Route List.

Step 2 Locate the route list to which you want to add a route group. See the "Finding Route Lists" section.

Step 3 Click Add Route Group.

Step 4 From the Select Route Group drop-down list box, choose a route group to add to the list.

---

Note If the route list contains a QSIG route group, H.323/H.225 route groups do not display in the drop-down list box. If the route group contains a H.323/H.225 route group, QSIG route groups do not display in the drop-down list box.

---

Step 5 Click Add.

Step 6 If you need to manipulate the calling party number on calls that are routed through this route group, set up the calling party transformations in the appropriate fields.

---

Note For more information on calling party transformations, see "Calling Party Transformations Settings" section on page 22-19.

---

Step 7 If you need to manipulate the dialed digits on calls that are routed through this route group, set up the called party transformations in the appropriate fields.

---

Note For more information on called party transformations, see "Called Party Transformations Settings" section on page 22-23.

---

Step 8 To add the route group, click Insert.

The route details information appears in the Route Details for Route Groups list on the left side of the window.

Step 9 To add more route groups to this list, click Add Route Group to the Current Route List and repeat Step 4 through Step 8.

---

Step 4 Click Remove Route Groups.

A dialog box displays to warn you that you cannot undo the removal of route groups from a route list.

Step 5 To remove the route group, click OK or to cancel the action, click Cancel. If you click OK, when the window refreshes, the route group no longer appears in the route list.

Deleting a Route List

Cisco CallManager associates route lists with both route groups and route patterns; however, deletion of route groups and route patterns does not occur when the route list is deleted. To find out which route patterns are using the route list, click the Dependency Records link from the Route List Configuration window. For more information about dependency records, see the "Accessing Dependency Records" section on page A-1.

---

Tip To delete route groups and route patterns, first delete the route pattern, second, delete the route list, and finally, delete the route group.

---

The following procedure describes how to delete a route list.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Choose Route Plan > Route List.

Step 2 Locate the route list that you want to delete. See the "Finding Route Lists" section.

Step 3 Click Delete.

A dialog box displays to warn you that you cannot undo the removal of a route list.

Step 4 To remove the route list, click OK or to cancel the action, click Cancel.

---

Caution You cannot delete a route list if it is associated with one or more route patterns.
