Trunk Routing Attribute Entry

Each Trunk Routing Attribute Entry object is a child of a Trunk Routing Attribute Set object.

Each object defines a single attribute (consisting of a type and a value) that may be added to the routing request during the number validation process.


Note that when the grandparent Config Set is active, this object cannot be modified; all fields are read only and all actions are disabled. You must deactivate the grandparent Config Set before you can modify the object.

Announcement Parameters

Some announcements played to subscribers require one or more parameters that are inserted into the announcement; for example, an announcement informing the subscriber of an area code change requires a parameter specifying the new area code. Other announcements require no parameters (for example a "number disconnected" announcement). For more information about how parameters are included in announcements, see the MetaSwitch VP3000:Integration and Customization Manual.

If you have set up a Trunk Routing Attribute Entry with Attribute type set to Announcement ID, and the specific announcement ID you have selected requires one or two parameters, any Trunk Routing Attribute Set that includes this Attribute Entry must also include one or two additional Attribute Entries for these parameters. In these entries, Attribute type must be set to Announcement parameter 1 for the first parameter, and Announcement parameter 2 for the second.

In the delivered system, the announcement IDs requiring parameters are as follows. Note that the requirement for parameters with specific announcement IDs may be different if you have customized the announcements as described in the MetaSwitch VP3000:Integration and Customization Manual.

  • Number disconnected
  • Individual number changed
  • Bad CAC combination
  • No intraLATA CAC
  • Bad CAC
  • No domestic CAC
  • No international CAC
  • Restricted CAC
  • Media in use
  • Test tone
One announcement parameter:
