Chapter 7 Multisite WAN with Centralized Call Processing
Call Admission Control
Call Admission Control
Where centralized call processing is used, call admission control is provided
using the locations construct. Under this scheme, locations are created with a
geographical correspondence, such as a branch office. For example, a location
could be designated as Branch 1, Mountain View Office. (A postal zip code could
also be used.) The location should correlate to a geographical location that is
serviced by a wide area link. A maximum bandwidth to be used by interlocation
voice calls is then specified for the location. Devices within that location are then
designated as belonging to that location. See Figure 7-2.
Figure 7-2 Cisco CallManager Location Configuration
The centralized Cisco CallManager keeps track of the current amount of
bandwidth consumed by interlocation voice calls from a given location. If a new
call across the IP WAN tries to exceed the configured setting, a busy signal is
issued to the caller as well as a configurable visual display, such as “All Trunks
Busy,” on devices with this capability. If the caller gets a busy signal, the caller
must hang up the phone and dial the access code for that location’s PSTN gateway
to facilitate an outgoing call.
Unlike previous versions of Cisco CallManager, each location in
Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 can use a common access code for its local PSTN
gateway. This is discussed in more detail in the “Dial Plan Considerations”
section on page 7-5. In addition, Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 is no longer
