Setting up outgoing call routing
About this task
For calls from extensions on the B5800 Branch Gateway system to other numbers within the
network, system short codes are used to route the calls to the Avaya Aura
®
Session Manager
line. The Avaya Aura
®
Session Manager then performs the routing to determine where the call
should go.
Note:
See Branch PSTN call routing examples on page 325 for information on routing back to the
branch for fallback alternate routes.
Ideally the number of such system short codes should be kept to a minimum and the same
short codes used on all branches in order to ease maintenance. This is where using a uniform
dial plan for all branches helps, as explained in
Dial plan considerations on page 30. For our
example, the uniform dial plan allows the same single short code to be used at all branches.
See the Manager context-based help for more information on creating short codes.
