Manage Outbound Routes

After you create outbound routes, you can adjust the priority of the outbound routes. You can also edit or delete the outbound routes.

Adjust priority of outbound routes

When a user places a call, if the dialed number matches multiple dial patterns, the outbound route with the highest priority will be used. You can adjust the priority of outbound routes to route calls through proper outbound routes, greatly saving calling cost for your company.

Note: The route priority is important, especially if there is some overlap. For example, the number 5503305 matches both a dial pattern of ZXXXXXX and X., the PBX will send the call through the outbound route with the highest priority.

Example:

When users dial 05503301, both of the two outbound routes match 05503301:

  • Outbound Route-Long-distance call: The dial pattern is 0XXXXXXX and uses trunk 1.
  • Outbound Route-Local call: The dial pattern is X. and uses trunk 2.

To call 5503301 through trunk 1, you need to prioritize the outbound route of "Long-distance call"; or PBX will match the outbound route of “Local call" and route the call out using trunk 2.

  1. Go to Settings > PBX > Call Control > Outbound Routes.
  2. Click the buttons to adjust the priority of your outbound routes.
    Note: PBX will match outbound route from top to bottom.

  • : Put this outbound route at the top.
  • : Move this outbound route upward.
  • : Move this outbound route downward.
  • : Put this outbound at the bottom.
