How to Associate Local Route Groups to a Device Pool¶
Use this procedure to associate a local route group with an existing device pool for each site. This allows calls from a device that is tied to a device pool to go out on a specific route group based on the call type. You cannot use this procedure to add or delete device pools.
For example, you can associate multiple local route groups such as Emergency Route Group, Primary Local Route Group (for site A), Secondary Local Route Group (for site A), Primary Local Route Group (for site B), and Secondary Local Route Group (for site B). The Local Route Group feature enables you to specify different route groups for each site (site A and site B) for the respective device pool. Also, you can define a separate call routing option for emergency calls when you associate the Emergency Route Group with a different route group. Hence you can easily define separate call routing options for emergency calls and PSTN calls.
Procedure¶
Log in as provider, reseller or customer administrator.
Warning
When associating a local route group, ensure that you select a valid site under your customer in the hierarchy node breadcrumb at the top of the view. If you attempt to associate a local route group at any other node in the hierarchy, a popup alerts you to select a site hierarchy node.
Perform one of the following:
- If you logged in as provider or reseller administrator, choose Device Management > CUCM > Device Pools.
- If you logged in as customer administrator, choose Device Management > Advanced > Device Pools.
Click the device pool to be associated.
