10.2.8. Source Dependent Routing Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

With IP distributed architecture, it is possible to position parts of a OpenScape 4000 system in different local networks. In this way, the OpenScape 4000 CC could be located in Munich, with linked access points in Berlin and Frankfurt.
Now, if all calls were to be subject to uniform routing, this would result in a call from the Frankfurt access point being routed into the Frankfurt local network - with LCR from the point of view of the CC in Munich - via IP to Munich and from there back to Frankfurt as a long-distance call. This would not be particularly cost-effective.
If a subscriber at the access point in Berlin were to call the fire service, the call would arrive at the fire service in Munich, which would not only be prohibited, but also dangerous.
The solution to this problem is to assign the access points in Berlin and Frankfurt a connection to the respective local network and to route them on a subscriber-dependent basis.
This “source dependency“ always applies to multiple subscriber lines, CO circuits or tie trunk circuits. In order to identify a group requiring the same routing behavior, the source group ID is introduced. Every access point must be assigned to a source group. If the subscriber line, CO or tie trunk circuits are configured with source group ID “0“ (default value), they adopt the settings of the access point. If necessary, a source group ID which deviates from the access point can be assigned to individual subscriber lines, CO circuits or tie trunk circuits.

In the example, access points AP 17 and AP 18 in Munich have been assigned to Source Group 1, which is also always the default setting for all LTUs (1..15) of the central OpenScape 4000 system. The two access points in Berlin (AP 98 and AP 99) have been assigned to Source Group 2. The Frankfurt access point AP 43 has Source Group 3.
The number of the source group is specified as the source group index with ADD-UCSU (see parameter SRCGRP in Table 6 “APNW: AMO UCSU parameters in ADD branch under TYPE=AP”).
In order to realize source dependent routing, LCR had to be extended.
While routing numbers (LROUTE) have previously been assigned in the digit pattern plan with the AMO LDPLN for one digit pattern, taking into account DPLN groups, class of service etc., source dependent routing requires that the index of an LCR profile (PROFIDX) be specified instead of the LROUTE. In the LCR profile, an LROUTE can be branched to as a function of the source group index. LCR profiles are configured with the AMO LPROF.

As PROFIDX indicates an LCR profile in the digit pattern plan, this must be configured first.
An LCR profile for emergency calls to the fire service is to be generated. In Munich, LRTE 722 leads to the CO; in Berlin, LRTE 386 and in Frankfurt, LRTE 767.

Configuration Management > Least Cost Routing > LCR Profiles
Click New, enter the Profile Name, Source Group, and LCR Route and Save.
The profile index is calculated and returned.
comwin-2.gif
ADD-LPROF:PROFNAME=FEUERWEHR,SRCGRP=1,LRTE=722;
The AMO returns the profile index, provided it is 12.
Additional source groups can be supplemented with:
CHANGE-LPROF:PROFIDX=12,SRCGRP=2,LRTE=386; CHANGE-LPROF:PROFIDX=12,SRCGRP=3,LRTE=767;
Next, an entry can be made in the digit pattern plan for emergency calls to the fire service, indicating the LCR profile number 12 just configured.

Configuration Management > Least Cost Routing > Digit Pattern
Click New, enter 112 for Digit Pattern. On the Data tab, enter the LCR Profile Number configured above under profile index and SAVE.
comwin-2.gif
ADD-LDPLN:LDP=112,PROFIDX=12, ...;

Additional functions of the AMO LPROF:

comwin-2.gif
DELETE-LPROF:PROFIDX=12,SRCGRP=3;
Deletes the entry for a source group from the specified LCR profile. If no source group is specified, the entire profile is deleted.
comwin-2.gif
DISPLAY-LPROF:PROFIDX=1&&33,INFOPAT=FEUER,FORMAT=K;
All parameters are optional. A specific index or range can be specified for PROFIDX. INFOPAT allows a search pattern to be specified. If the pattern is found in a profile name, the profile is output. FORMAT is used to choose between short or long output format.

Notes:

  • Every subscriber line, CO circuit or tie trunk circuit is automatically assigned the source group index 0 upon configuration. This means that the LTU source group index is used. However, it can be changed individually. A maximum of 99 source groups are available.
  • The source group index used for a subscriber is output when the AMO SDAT is called up. The output SRCGRP =(1)means that the subscriber uses the LTU source group index. The subscriber is configured with SRCGRP=0. If the subscriber moves in an LTU that is assigned to another source group, it is assigned this source group.
  • The output SRCGRP = 1 means that the subscriber uses the value 1 independent of the LTU source group index. The subscriber is configured with SRCGRP=1. The user-specific source group that is set thus remains the same if the subscriber moves to another LTU. Check if this allocation is still useful.
