[cisco-voip] Outbound Call parameters?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

With a little effort, you should be able to write a script that parses CDR records every X minutes and calculates based on route pattern/gateway the total number of long distance minutes used. It won't be live, but you can at least get an email message when you are getting close.

  Maybe some type of TCL IVR script that kept a record of time used.

  You could use the TCL script to prefix numbers to a call and match them on the pots dial peers to go out the correct PRI

  Not that I would use this but just thinking if its possible.

  The call could be answered by the TCL, Time variable checked, decide what PRI to use prefix the number and dial again.

  sounds feasible?

    I don't think there is anything in CM to do this.  with some time and a lot of energy you could look through CDRs and try and route calls based on past calling patterns....... But that is not my idea of a good time.

      So as I understand it my route group/list is what dictates my outbound call gateway distribution.  But what determines how I best use those gateways seems to be limited to two algorithms, top down and circular…neither of which seem to do what I want….



      We have a new PRI in the mix that gives us a set number of free local minutes (36,000).  But the minutes after that are at a slightly higher rate.  Is there a way to get CUCM to best utilize the new PRI and it’s free minutes?



      I don’t think there’s a way to tell CUCM to “use the first 36,000 minutes on PRI A then start using PRI B.



      There doesn’t appear to be a way to even set ratios for gateways.  Like a 2:3 ratio for PRI A and PRI B, respectively.  In theory if this ratio was similar to my amount of free minutes vs. total minutes I would, over time come fairly close to using all the free minutes and as few of the “after free, more expensive” minutes.



      Am I missing something, or is this just a limitation of CUCM?



      Even if I have to send all calls to the new PRI I will still save money in the long run, but wasting money is still wasting money.
