[cisco-voip] Route Pattern/FAC question

[Ed Leatherman]

I'm trying to build a scenario in the lab that functions like this:

Remote site (seperate CCM 4.1) has intercluster trunk to Main Campus CCM 4.1.
Also has PRI to PSTN.

If a remote site user dials an extension for the main campus, it will hit a
route pattern/Route List that has a route group containing the ICT first,
and then a route group containing the PSTN Gateway as the second item. So if
the WAN connection is down or out of bandwidth it translates the called
number and sends it out the PSTN gateway instead. So far so good.

What the remote site has now asked is to have forced auth. codes on long
distance PSTN calls. Is there a way to configure it such that for calls to
the main site callmanager only asks for a FAC if the call gets directed to
the PSTN? It seems i have to specify the FAC from route pattern page, which
will ask for a FAC every time even on ICT calls. I wasnt sure if there was a
more clever way to do it and get the desired effect.

I took a look at AAR, but it mentioned that it was for intrA-cluster calls
rather than intER-cluster calls.. and i'm not sure it would help me out
anyway since calls aren't re-routed in the event of WAN failure.

Thanks!
