b. Configure the IP connectivity reason for triggering alternative routing, by setting
the 'Alt Routing Tel to IP Mode' parameter (AltRoutingTel2IPMode) to one of the
following:

c. The device plays a tone to the Tel endpoint (for analog interfaces) whenever an
alternative route is used. This tone is played for a user-defined time configured by
the 'Alternative Routing Tone Duration' parameter.

24.5.2 Alternative Routing Based on SIP Responses

You can configure the device to do alternative routing based on the received SIP response.
If the SIP response code reflects an error (i.e., 4xx, 5xx, or 6xx) and you have configured
this specific response code as a trigger for alternative routing, then the device attempts to
re-route the call to an alternative destination.
You can configure up to five SIP response codes for triggering alternative routing. This is
done in the Reasons for Alternative Routing table, explained in this section.
Typically, the device performs alternative routing when there is no response at all to an
INVITE message after a user-defined number of INVITE re-transmissions, configured using
the SIPMaxRtx parameter. In such a scenario, the device issues itself the SIP response
code 408 "Request Timeout". If this release code is defined in the Reasons for Alternative
Routing table, then alternative routing is done.
Note:
Depending on configuration, the alternative routing is done using one of the following
configuration entities:

Outbound IP Routing Rules: You can configure up to two alternative routing rules in
the table. If the initial, main routing rule destination is unavailable, the device searches
the table (starting from the top) for the next call matching rule (e.g., destination phone
number), and if available attempts to re-route the call to the IP destination configured
for this alternative routing rule. The table below shows an example of alternative
routing where the device uses the first available alternative routing rule to re-route the
initial, unsuccessful Tel-to-IP call destination.


Proxy Sets: Proxy Sets are used for Server-type IP Groups (e.g., an IP PBX) and
define the actual IP destination (IP address or FQDN) of the server. As you can define
up to five IP destinations per Proxy Set, the device supports proxy redundancy, which
works together with the alternative routing feature. If the destination of a routing rule in

The device also plays a tone to the endpoint whenever an alternative route is
used. This tone is played for a user-defined time, configured by the
AltRoutingToneDuration parameter.
