Task 12: Configuring routes to a neighbor zone (optional)
You can optionally set up neighbor zones and associated search rules on the Expressway-C if you need to
route calls to other systems such as a Cisco VCS or Unified CM.
Example: Cisco VCS neighbor zone
For example, you may want to route calls towards devices (typically H.323 devices) that are registered to a
Cisco VCS. In this example, the devices that are registered to Cisco VCS have an address (destination
alias) in the format <alias>@vcs.domain. (Note that you may need additional rules or transforms if the H.323
devices have registered E.164 numbers or H.323 IDs without a domain portion).
To configure a neighbor zone to the Cisco VCS:
1. Go to Configuration > Zones > Zones.
2. Click New.
3. Configure the fields as follows (leave all other fields with default values):
Expressway-C Expressway-E
Name Enter Neighbor zone to VCS Not applicable
Type Neighbor
H.323 Mode On
H.323 Port Enter 1719
SIP Mode On
SIP Port Enter 5061
SIP Transport TCP
Location Peer 1 address Enter the address of the Cisco VCS neighbor system
4. Click Create zone.
To configure the search rule to route calls to the Cisco VCS:
1. Go to Configuration > Dial plan > Search rules.
2. Click New.
3. Configure the search rule fields as follows:
