Configure Overlap Dialing for Call Routing

When you enable overlap dialing and set the incoming match pattern, the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) can work with the information in the SETUP message to successfully route calls through the Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and Basic Rate Interface (BRI) in a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM ) deployment.

  • Plan the match patterns that you want for incoming calls. See "Incoming Call Patterns Guidelines" for rules and syntax.
  • Confirm that the tdm-profile that you want to enable for overlap dialing exists.

Note:

If the tdm-profile that you want does not exist, you can set the overlap dial and incoming-pattern parameters when you create the profile. The following procedure assumes the profile already exists.

Access tdm-confg and use the tdm-profile sub-element to set the overlap dial and incoming-pattern parameters.

  1. Access the tdm-profile configuration element. 
    ORACLE# configure terminal
ORACLE(configure)# system
ORACLE(system)# tdm-config
ORACLE(tdm-config)# tdm-profile
  2. Type select to display the existing tdm-profile objects.
    For example: 
    ORACLE(tdm-profile)# select 
<name>:
1: profile 1
2: profile 2
3: profile 3
4: profile 4

selection:1
ORACLE(tdm-profile)#
  3. Select the TDM profile that you want.
  4. Set the overlap dial parameter to incoming.
  5. Set a list of extension numbers or match patterns for the incoming-pattern parameter.

    Separate single extension numbers with the vertical bar (|) character. A pattern starts with the underscore (_) character. In an extension pattern, note the meaning of the following characters:

    X matches any digit from 0-9

    Z matches any digit from 1-9

    N matches any digit from 2-9

    [1237-9] matches any digit in the brackets (in this example, 1,2,3,7,8,9).

    . wildcard matches one or more characters

    ! wildcard matches zero or more characters immediately

    Syntax examples:
    Suppose the main number is 800-555-1234, one key extension is number 80, and the range of other extensions is from 8100-8399.
    • Match the exact number including the extension: 800555123480
    • Match the extension in a range: _80055512348[1-3]XX
    • Match the exact number including the extension or match an extension in a range: 800555123480|_80055512348[1-3]XX
