Create a New Route Record
When changing long distance carriers, it is sometimes necessary to create a
new route record to handle call traffic through the new carrier. It may instead
be easier to
Clone a Route Record.
To create a new route record, first, open the
Route window by clicking on the Configuration button in either the Navigator or the Navbar and selecting Route Records from the pull-down menu that appears.
To create a new route record:
1. Click the New Record button.
2. In the window that appears, type a name for the route into the Enter Route Name: field.
3. Choose the Editing Type and the Route Type.
Simple Editing
ñ Only three of the sections normally found in a Route Record are available: Route Type, Access Number, and Destination Number. The Destination Number section is equivalent to the Card/Destination Number of a Route Record, except that it has only one pull-down menu. A record created in Simple Editing mode can be changed to Advanced Editing at a later time by clicking the Change to Advanced Editing button.
Advanced Editing
ñ Selecting this radio button will create a new record with all of the sections
described in the Route Records help. A record in Advanced Editing mode can NOT be changed to Simple Editing.
Direct Route
ñ Select this radio button to classify the record as a Direct route, to be used for all non-card Call Types.
Card Route
ñ Select this radio button to classify the record as a Card route, to be used with all card Call Types.
4. Click OK.
