14.2.2.2 Configuring Cost Groups

The procedure below describes how to configure Cost Groups. Cost Groups are defined
with a fixed call connection cost and a call rate (charge per minute). Once configured, you
can configure Time Bands for each Cost Group. Up to 10 Cost Groups can be configured.
Note:

To configure Cost Groups:
1. Open the Cost Group Table page (Configuration tab > VoIP menu > Services
submenu > Least Cost Routing > Cost Group Table).
2. Click the Add button; the Add Record dialog box appears:
3. Configure the parameters as required. For a description of the parameters, see the
table below.
4. Click Submit; the entry is added to the Cost Group table.
Version 6.6
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.
The Cost Group table can also be configured using the table ini file
parameter, CostGroupTable.
