Anonymous Device. This device can be thought of as a point-to-multipoint trunk,
which removes the necessity for the meshed point-to-point trunks in the
Cisco CallManager dial plan model. The Anonymous Device uses the gatekeeper
to route calls to the correct Cisco CallManager cluster. If there is no requirement
for automatic overflow or failover to the PSTN, then the dial plan in each cluster
could be simplified to only two route patterns: one for intercluster calls and one
for PSTN access. In this model, you configure the dial plan in the gatekeeper, thus
providing a central point of administration. As new clusters are added, you update
only the gatekeeper instead of every Cisco CallManager.
In summary, the three dial plan models provide the following features and
capabilities:
• Cisco CallManager dial plan model (See the “Using Cisco CallManager to
Route Calls” section on page 6-17.)
–
Automatic overflow and failover to the PSTN, using the gatekeeper only
for call admission control.
–
Requires a separate intercluster trunk for each combination of two
Cisco CallManager clusters.
–
Requires two routes for each Cisco CallManager destination, one for the
IP WAN and one for the PSTN.
–
You must reconfigure every Cisco CallManager if a new cluster is added
or the dial plan changes.
• Hybrid dial plan model
–
Automatic overflow and failover to the PSTN, using the gatekeeper for
call admission control and the intercluster dial plan.
–
Requires only one Anonymous Device in each Cisco CallManager
cluster.
–
Requires two routes for each Cisco CallManager destination, one for the
IP WAN and one for the PSTN.
–
You configure the intercluster dial plan in both the gatekeeper and the
Cisco CallManager.
• Gatekeeper dial plan model (See the “Using the Gatekeeper to Route Calls”
section on page 6-19.)
–
Manual overflow and failover to the PSTN, using the gatekeeper for call
admission control and the intercluster dial plan.
