15.5.2.2 Configuring Cost Groups

The Cost Group table lets you configure Cost Groups. A Cost Group defines a fixed call
connection cost and a call rate (charge per minute). Once configured, you can configure
Time Bands per Cost Group. Up to 10 Cost Groups can be configured.
The following procedure describes how to configure Cost Groups in the Web interface. You
can also configure this using the table ini file parameter, CostGroupTable or CLI command,
configure voip > services least-cost-routing cost-group.

To configure a Cost Group:
1. Open the Cost Group Table page (Configuration tab > VoIP menu > Services >
Least Cost Routing > Cost Group Table).
2. Click Add; the following dialog box appears:
3. Configure a Cost Group according to the parameters described in the table below.

Version 6.8
Determines whether routing rules in the Outbound IP Routing
table without an assigned Cost Group are considered a higher
cost or lower cost route compared to other matched routing
rules that are assigned Cost Groups.

[0] Lowest Cost = If the device locates other matching LCR
routing rules, this routing rule is considered the lowest cost
route and therefore, it is selected as the route to use
(default.)

[1] Highest Cost = If the device locates other matching
LCR routing rules, this routing rule is considered as the
highest cost route and therefore, is not used or used only if
the other cheaper routes are unavailable.
Note: If more than one valid routing rule without a defined
Cost Group exists, the device selects the first-matched rule.
