advice on Sipura 2100 dial plan needed
I've recently been experimenting with dial plans on my Sipura 2100 and wanted to ask whether the strings I've come up with might be improved at all. I'm not so great with this kind of logic, so I assume they could use some improvement and/or simplification. I should point out that what I've got does seem to work fine, only I suspect there may be better ways of doing it. I'm in the US, by the way, which will become apparent as I progress.
Please note that this post refers to dial plans entered into the Sipura itself, and not to dial plans entered into my voxalot account. For the time being I'm sort of forced to do all this on the Sipura since, unless I directly connect to my voice provider (justvoip), I end up getting FUP exceeded charges. So, here's what I've got: Code:
(18[06-8][06-8]xxxxxxxS0|<:00>1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|<911:0014141234567>|<:001414>[2-9]xxxxxxS0|00xx.<:@sip.justvoip.com;usr=my-usr;pwd=my-pwd>|[x*][x*].) Like I said, what I've got is mostly effective. There are cases, though, when I see a fairly lengthy delay before my call is terminated--I presume that's because the Sipura's built-in timer has kicked in and needs to time out (I think timers are set to 3 or 10 seconds depending on the case) before actually sending the call. It seems to me that improvements in my rules should therefore focus generally on minimizing or eliminating the delays. So, any input on how my dialing rules might be improved? How about that last entry: do I really need that? I have yet to formulate a rule specifically for calling other voxalot users but I think that, were I to get rid of that final rule, it should probably be replaced by one designed to send calls to other voxalot users (like maybe xxxxxxS1?) Help will be appreciated. Thanks, James |
Your first match entry, 18[06-8][06-8]xxxxxxx, will match some numbers that are not toll-free. For instance it will match 806, 807 and 808 area codes. Instead, try using 8 separate match entries.
800[2-9]xxxxxx 866[2-9]xxxxxx 877[2-9]xxxxxx 888[2-9]xxxxxx 1800[2-9]xxxxxx 1866[2-9]xxxxxx 1877[2-9]xxxxxx 1888[2-9]xxxxxx If you'd like to choose which termination provider carries your toll free call insert the following entries (and be sure to set 'Enable IP Dialing' = yes). <#0,1:>[x*][x*].<:@voiper.ipkall.com:5060>| <#1,:>[x*][x*].<:@tf.voipmich.com:5060>| <#2,:>[x*][x*].<:@tollfree.sip-happens.com:5060>| <#3,:>[x*][x*].<:@sip.tollfreegateway.com:5060>| <#4,:>[x*][x*].<:@proxy.ideasip.com:5060>| <#5,:>[x*][x*].<:@proxy01.sipphone.com:5060>| About your match entry "00xx.<:@sip.justvoip.com;usr=my-usr;pwd=my-pwd" I did not know the SPA2100 can use the usr= and pwd= commands in the dial plan. Is that working for you? If so, what 'Software Version' is installed in your SPA2100? |
Thanks for your reply, boatman. You're sure right about the fact that my toll-free dial plan could match non-toll-free numbers. So far it's worked fine because I've never tried to call anyone in the 806, 807, or 808 area codes.In fact, I'm not sure I ever would call anyone in those area codes. All the same I thank you for pointing out that potential problem and suggesting alternatives.
I'm still puzzling over the alternate toll-free entries you've provided. It seems evident that the ATA will route those calls through some alternate voice provider, correct? And do these providers terminate toll free calls to anyone, or must one set up an account of some sort before they will terminate toll-free calls? And, furthermore, why do you provide so many entries? Is it so that, in case one provider can't terminate the call, you can use an alternate one? I can't say I really understand what those entries do. I'll have to consult the manual again to try and figure it out. And my Sipura does seem work with the commands you asked about. I determined, at some point after entering that dial plan, that calls could not have been going through voxalot. But I've forgotten now how I tested that. In any case, the software version on this ATA is 3.2.5(d). Now I'll have to go off and try to remember what lead me to conclude that calls were, in fact, being routed directly to my voice provider and were not first going through voxalot. James PS Any suggestions for a dial plan for when I'm calling other voxalot users, i.e., when the phone number consists in just 6 digits? |
