Create and configure CS interfaces
SmartWare currently supports one instance of the CS context. The name of this instance is "switch". The name
and number of CS interfaces depends on your own configuration. The interfaces on the CS context represent
logical connections to other equipment or networks. CS interfaces are used as source and destination in the ses-
sion router and are bound to physical ports or logical (SmartWare) gateways.
Interface names can be any arbitrary string with a maximum of 25 characters. For ease of identification the
interface type can be a part of the name. For examples and information on how to create CS interfaces please
refer to chapter 24, "CS interface configuration"

Specify call routing

As described above, for basic call routing you can omit creating session router tables. SmartWare offers two lev-
els of call routing:
• Basic interface routing
• Advanced session routing
Basic interface routing allows you to forward all incoming calls on a CS interface directly to a destination CS
interface. An optional fallback interface can also be specified. The Session Router allows you to route calls to all
available CS interfaces, based on a number of criteria such as calling number, destination number and ISDN
bearer capability.
We recommend that you first carefully consider what interfaces and session router tables are required to achieve
your goals on a sheet of paper and then start with creating and configuring CS interfaces and set up the session
router tables.
To configure Basic Interface Routing refer to chapter 24,
such as digit collection or specifying port addresses, which belong to call routing are explained in this chapter.
To configure Advanced Session Routing in relation to the session router tables refer to chapter 25,
router configuration" on page 311. In this chapter the difference between Basic interface routing and Advanced
session routing is described in more detail. If you are not familiar with call routing it is suggested that you read
the respective sections in this chapter first, before you plan the CS context configuration.
Configure dial tones
SmartWare supports country-specific configurable in-band dial tones that are played for specific events, for
example alerting, dialing or busy. The tones are configured in tone-set profiles, and these profiles are used
either from the CS context or from a specific PSTN interface.
Normally tone-sets are used by the CS context, this means that all PSTN interfaces use the tone-set profile
which is used by the CS context. In case a specific PSTN interface needs to use other dial tones, a different
tone-set profile can be used directly from the PSTN interface. To configure the dial tones and apply then to the
CS context or interface see chapter 25,
If no tone-set is specified a default tone-set profile is used. In most cases the default profile can be used, so you
do not need to perform this configuration task.
