Configuring Call Policy rules using the web interface

The Call Policy rules page
(rather than uploaded via a CPL file) Call Policy rules currently in place and allows you to create, edit
and delete rules. It provides a mechanism to set up basic Call Policy rules without having to write and
upload a CPL script.
Note: you cannot use the Call Policy rules page to configure Call Policy if a CPL file is already in
place. If this is the case, on the Call Policy configuration page
> Configuration) you will have the option to Delete uploaded file. Doing so will delete the existing
Call Policy that was put in place using a CPL script, and enable use of the Call Policy rules page for
Call Policy configuration.
Each rule specifies the Action to take for all calls from a particular Source alias to a particular
Destination alias. If you have more than one rule, you can Rearrange the order of priority in which
these rules are applied.
The configurable options are:
Field Description
Source The alias that the calling endpoint used to identify itself when
pattern placing the call. If this field is blank, the policy rule applies to all
incoming calls from unauthenticated users, meaning calls
where the endpoint making the call is not either:
locally registered and authenticated with the VCS, or
n
registered and authenticated to a neighbor which in turn has
n
authenticated with the local VCS
Destination The alias that the endpoint dialed to make the call.
