Call Routing 3.3 Call Routing Calls from a VoIP port to a GSM/UMTS network are routed to any GSM/UMTS port according to the LCR (Least Cost Routing) table. If an incoming call is routed via a busy port, other ports are checked automatically for availability (depending on the configuration) and in case no allowed outgoing port is available, the outgoing call is rejected.
