Routes

Routes

Routes identify each number dialed by users. Information is identified by the number dialed and the destination group it belongs to.

Routes

This window identifies all destinations by dialed number. Destinations that do not exist in this database cannot be dialed by the EdgelessPBX MT.

Depending on what is selected when you edit the Routing mode on the master tenant in Settings->Tenants menu, you will have two routing modes:

E.164 Routing mode
Simple Routing mode

E.164 Routing mode

When you are using E.164 Routing mode all destinations are defined by E.164 standard.

(Button)
Import Database:Imports current data from the central destination database
(ex. Click to import)
(Button)

TIP: Import and update operations need to be performed at regular maintenance times. In addition, the network administrator should be notified of any destination that is not accessible.

Required Regex:This is an optional regular expression which can be used to fine tune numbers recognized by this route
(ex. 06[1-5] – In this example only numbers starting with 061, 062, 063, 064 or 065 will fall under this route. Also you could use other regular expressions here).

Operation Times

Set the system open/closed times. Depending on the time when the call is received, the call can be redirected to different EdgelessPBX MT destinations.

Operation Times:
Enable operation times
(ex. Yes, No)
(Option buttons)
PIN
If you have a PIN set here, the system will ask you for it so you could pass through Operation Time
(ex. 3425)
([0-9])
Greeting:
Greeting sound file played to callers during the closed times
(ex. greeting-***)
(Select box)

Open days: Sets the working hours during which the DID is to redirect calls as set in the DID Add/Edit window. If any call is received during the hours not set here, ‘Range Destination’ is checked, and if they do not apply, the call is redirected to ‘Default Destination’.

Closed dates: Sets the specific date when all calls are redirected to ‘Default Destination’. If ‘Destination’ field in the Closed dates is set, call will not go to ‘Default Destination’ but to this number.

Destination Groups

Each country can be assigned with many destination groups/service providers. You may add one by clicking on the Add Destination Group from this location. All groups that have no numbers assigned will not be displayed when Routes information is required
