Aggregation (CBO)#

This call type occurs when an endpoint located in a Site in one country wants to reach a destination in any country through Aggregation (Central Breakout). The cluster in which the site is located must have the source country dial plan. Routing is based on the source country. It is not possible for sites in a cluster to be in different countries.

The call type includes:

  • SIP/SCCP signaling traffic for the endpoint between the endpoint and Cisco Unified Communications Manager

  • SIP signaling traffic for SIP trunking between the SIP trunking Session Border Controller (SBC) and Cisco Unified Communications Manager

  • Media traffic between the endpoint and SIP trunk SBC

Off-Net Call (Aggregation)

Usage

  • Called number follows the Numbering Plan requirements

  • Called number can include an access code if necessary

  • Any target number can be used, unless it is restricted by Class of Service

  • Off-net dialing can be completed in two ways:

    • When PDD is unavoidable, user can wait for interdigit timeout or press # without waiting for interdigit timeout

    • E.164 numbering format is supported with + as the first digit

  • Forced On-Net is supported and optional. A forced on-net call will not reach the Session Border Controller. It is either within the same cluster or cross cluster

  • As shown in the figure (Option 1), each source country has its own SIP trunk to the Session Border Controller. Otherwise, all source countries share the same SIP trunk to the SBC.

  • The calling number is one of:

    • DDI of the DN

    • Site Published PSTN number if the DN does not have a DDI, or

    • Site Published PSTN number regardless of the availability of DN DDI

  • MoH is supported

Accessibility

User can perform Off-Net call from any endpoint registered with Cisco Unified Communications Manager
