Working with Bridge Groups and Routing Lists
Bridge groups and routing lists apply only to routed systems (PSTN or IP). If
you have a non-routed system, the access phone number determines which
bridge receives a call, and this section doesn’t apply to you.
In a routed system, bridge groups and routing lists control the routing of calls
among bridges. Each subscriber is assigned to a routing list (by default, the one
assigned to the number group, but provisioners can change this). The routing
list specifies which bridge or bridges the subscriber’s conferences can use and
the priority order of those bridges.
Setting up bridge routing involves:
• Setting up bridge groups, each containing one or more bridges.
• Setting up routing lists, each specifying the bridge groups to which calls
should be routed in order of preference.
Managing Bridge Groups
This section applies only to routed systems. In a routed system, if you add
bridges or change bridge assignments, you must make changes to your bridge
groups. By default, your system contains the bridge group All Bridges, which
includes all bridges. You can’t modify or delete this group. You can add other
groups and modify or delete them.
Adding a Bridge Group
1 In the navigation bar, click Bridge Groups.
The Bridge Groups page appears (Figure 2-5). It lists existing bridge
groups, starting with the default entry, All Bridges. A blank input field
and Add button (green “+”) let you add bridge groups. Check boxes below
each entry let you select which bridges are in each group.
2 Enter a name for the new group in the blank Bridge Group Name field.
3 Select the check box of each bridge you want to include in the group and
click the Add button.
The system confirms that the bridge group has been added and provides
a link back to the Bridge Groups page.
4 Click the link to reload the Bridge Groups page.
The new bridge group appears in the list.
