Overview
The RouteNGN is a high capacity, carrier grade, flexible routing platform. It was designed and built to
augment the routing capabilities of SIP compatible devices (SIP Devices). It is a stateless system and
therefore does not and does not generate CDRs or limit concurrent sessions.
Call Flow
While it can be deployed in a variety of locations in a network, it is recommended that the RouteNGN
is located behind an SBC or Soft Switch.
In most cases users configure their SIP Devices with very basic routing. The primary role the SIP
Device plays in routing will be to identify the customer sending the traffic. One method of
accomplishing this is via tech-prefixing (this will be covered in detail in the Carrier Groups section).
The RouteNGN provides routing instructions to SIP Devices via a 300 Redirect message and is capable
of sending multiple route choices in a single redirect message.
A
sample call flow:

A sample ladder diagram:
Redundancy
The RouteNGN is configured in a 1+1 configuration. Upon the initiation of the service, users are
provided with a DNS address as well as a primary and secondary signaling IP addresses. Ideally, users
should configure their SIP Device(s) to signal to the DNS address. If users SIP Device(s) are not
capable of routing to a DNS address, use the IP addresses. All updates to the system will propagate to
both the primary and secondary servers after changes are Applied. (see 'Apply' below). Many times the
updates will take effect on the servers within sixty seconds of applying them. On rare occasions, it can
take up to 10 minutes for changes to propagate across the network.
SIP Options Ping

The RouteNGN supports a SIP OPTIONS ping, sometimes referred to as a “SIP Heartbeat”. If the
RouteNGN receives a SIP OPTIONS from a known device, it will respond with a 200 OK message if it
is functioning normally.
An overview of call flow with both primary and secondary clusters configured:
Icons
The RouteNGN web interface was designed to be as streamlined as possible. Our designers have taken
great care to minimize superfluous buttons and keep a consistent look and feel throughout the system.
There are a few icons that users should become familiar with.
Edit
The edit icon appears in almost all the screens in the RouteNGN interface. It will allow users to change
the properties of an element in the system. The edit icon is always located within the element that it
affects.
Delete
The Delete icon will permanently remove elements in the system. It will also remove all associations
to that element. For example if a user deletes a Region it will also delete the Locale and all associated
Dial Codes. The Delete feature will always ask the user if he or she is certain they wish to perform this
action.
Undo
The Undo icon allows the user to exit the edit window without saving changes.
Save
The Save icon saves any changes the user has made in the edit window.
Add
The Add button allows the user to add an additional element to the data window it refers to. It is
clicked after the information is added into the text box located next to it.
Rate
The Rate button allows the user to check how many of each rate type is associated with a Carrier or
Carrier Group.
Apply
Any changes made to the system will not take affect until you press the apply button. As soon as
users add, remove or make a change to an element or change routing, the Apply button will begin
to slowly blink as a reminder that changes have yet to take affect on the active servers. Users not
need to press the Apply button after every change but only once he or she is ready for the
changes to take affect. Please note that changes will be stored in the system and can be applied at
a later time even if the user logs out and/or closes his or her browser.
Global Settings
To view the Global Settings navigate to [HOME DASHBOARD]. Click EDIT on the right hand side
to modify these settings.
Login
Modify the GUI username here.
Email
Modify user’s email here.
Password
Modify GUI password here. Note that you will have to also enter the identical information in the
Confirm Password field.
Company
Modify company name here.
Failure Code
The Failure Code field is for setting globally the call failure code which defaults to 503 Not Found.
This may be configured to any SIP value greater than 4xx. Note you must populate the field with a
number followed by any text. For example: 503 Not Found.
Redirect Code
The Redirect Code field is for setting globally the redirect code which defaults to 300 Redirect. This
may be modified to a 302 Redirect or any other redirect code that may work for the signaling SIP
device. Consult your SIP device manufacturer for proper format. Note you must populate the field
with a number followed by any text. For example: 302 Redirect.
TG Tag
This field is for setting the outbound or destination trunk group tag. Many plat forms support TGRP or
DTG. In certain instance it may be case sensitive. Consult your SIP device manufacturer for proper
format.
TG Tag Format
TG tag Formats sets the placement for the trunk group tag in the redirect message contact header. The
two choices are as follows:
DN@IP;dtg=XXXX
DN,dtg=XXXX@IP
Where:
DN = Destination Number
IP = IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name
dtg = Destination Trunk Group Indicator – Note this will be in the format indicated in
the TG Tag field
XXXX = The Destination Trunk Group Tag as defined in the outbound EndPoint Group
Profit Threshold
Enables or disables Profit Threshold Routing.
Inline Contact
The Contact Header in the redirect message may be formatted in two ways.
Inline:
Contact: <sip:DN@IP1>
Multi:
Contact: sip:DN@IP1, DN@IP2, DN@IP3
Where:
DN = Destination Number
IPx = IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name and x = route choice
Carrier Setup
Carriers
The Carrier setup page can be found by navigating to [TABLES-->CARRIERS]. Carriers are defined
as the customers and vendors that the end user is peered with. Carriers can be broken out to Groups
and Groups can have within them multiple End Points (SIP Peers). Each of these items is broken out
into individual data windows. The data windows should always be reference from left to right.
Start by entering a Carrier name in the text box labeled 'New Carrier' at the bottom of the Carrier data
window and pressing ENTER or clicking on the Add icon. When clicking on the Carrier listed in the
Carrier data window, the user will see a text box labeled 'New Group' below the Groups data window.
Groups
Groups are found in center data window on the Carrier setup page [TABLES-->CARRIERS]. Carriers
have a one too many relationship with Groups and all routing is done on the Group level. Groups are
defined as the features associated with an End Point or End Points (SIP Peers).
Enter a Group name in the text box labeled 'New Group' at the bottom of the Group data window and
pressing ENTER or clicking on the Add icon.
Inbound Group
Inbound Groups are set up for traffic coming to the RouteNGN. Users can set the properties of a
Group by clicking on the Edit next to the Group name.
NAME
The top field in an inbound group is for Carrier Group Name
In/Out
To the right of the name, users have the option to define a Group as inbound (traffic FROM customers)
or outbound (traffic TO vendors). For inbound Groups, select IN.
Prefix
The field below the name field is for any inbound Prefix the user may be expecting. Prefixes may be
up to 10 digits long and ALWAYS end with a pound (#) sign which will be automatically stripped by
the RouteNGN before routing the call. Prefixing the DN is one option that can be used to select a LCR
or Domestic routing table.
Strip Digits
Below the prefix field is the Strip Digits field. It will strip the pattern specified in this field.
Example, for the call 91-11-4365211:
Strip Digits field is set to 9111 the call will get routed as '4365211'.
Margin
Below the strip digits field is the Margin field. This represents the minimum margin required for a
Group. It is defaulted at 0, which implies that the user will not route any calls for a loss. If the margin
field is set at '10' the minimum margin for any route returned will be 10%. Setting this field to a -100
disables any margin calculation when profit threshold is enabled.
Block Region
Below the Margin field is the Block Region field. The RouteNGN allows users to create “black lists”
of ANIs on a per endpoint group basis
ANI Strip Digits

Below the Block Region field is the ANI Strip Digits field. It's function is identical to the Strip Digits
field above, except it modifies the ANI.
RN Prefix
Below the ANI Strip Digits field is the RN Prefix Field. This field allows users to pre-pend a LRN
with the pattern in this field. This is used for routing purposes only and this prefix will be stripped
before it is returned in the 300 message.
Trunk Group
Below the ANI Strip Digits is the Trunk Group field. The RouteNGN can identify Trunk Groups which
use either the OTG or TGRP format. These may be located in either the “To” “From” or “Contact”
headers.
Route via Selector

Below the Trunk Group field is the Route Via selector. RouteNGN allows users to route calls based on
DN, RN or ANI when using either a LCR or Jurisdictional Routing Tables.
Route Table Selection

Below the Margin field is the Route Table menu. This pull-down list will contain all configured Route
Tables [see the Route Table Section below on how to create and configure Route Tables]. Inbound
Groups will route traffic according to the priorities set in the associated Route Table.
Outbound Group
Outbound Groups are set up for traffic sent out from the RouteNGN. Users can set the properties of a
Group by clicking on the Edit next to the Group name.
NAME
The top field in an outbound group is for Carrier Group Name
In/Out
To the right of the name, users have the option to define a Group as inbound (traffic FROM customers)
or outbound (traffic TO vendors). For outbound Groups, select OUT.
Prefix
Users may add an outbound Prefix of up to 10 digits in this field. The Prefix will be pre-pended to the
beginning of the dialed number before it is sent out to the Group it is associated with.
DN Strip Digits
This field is will strip from the DN the pattern specified. If a the Prefix filed is populated the digits
being stripped will be after the prefix.
Trunk Group
Below the Strip Digits field is the Trunk Group field. By populating this field the RouteNGN will
insert a destination trunk group in the 300 redirect message contact header using the following the
defined TG format [see Global Settings section]..
Time of Day / Day of Week Routing

Time of day or day of week routing may be implemented by clicking on the radial button and
indicating the times and/or days when the End Point Group should be taking calls.
End Points
End Points are found in right-most data window on the Carrier setup page [TABLES-->CARRIERS].
Groups have a one too many relationships with End Points. End Points are SIP Peers.
Enter an IP address in the text box labeled 'New Carrier' at the bottom of the Carrier data window and
press ENTER or click on the Add icon. Add all the IP addresses which are to be included in the carrier
Group.
Dynamic Vendor IP
Using an IP address 0.0.0.0 for the vendor IP will cause the RouteNGN to automatically populate the IP
address as the Inbound Group IP. This is useful if the same vendor is used on two different Inbound
SIP devices.
Percentage Routing
All traffic is split evenly between Endpoints. For example if there are two different endpoints
configured for an endpoint group (End Point A and End Point B), 50% of the time End Point A will
have a higher priority and 50% of the time End Point B will have a higher priority. Therefore to split
the traffic in a different manner, users may enter the same End Point multiple times.
Regions
The Carrier setup page can be found by clicking on [TABLES-->REGIONS]. The Regions table is the
master dial code table within the RouteNGN. Regions have a one too many relationship with Locales,
and Locales have a one too many relationship with Dial Codes. All routing is controlled on the Locale
level.
Regions, Locales and Dial Codes may be added manually or via the Import function.
Adding Dial Codes Manually

Start by entering a Region name in the text box labeled 'New Region' at the bottom of the Regions data
window and pressing ENTER or clicking on the Add icon. When the region listed in the Region data
window, click on it and you should see a text box labeled 'New Locale' below the Groups data window.
To add a Dial Code for a Locale, click on the Locale and populate the New Dial Code text box below
the Dial Code data window.
Importing Dial Codes
Importing codes is the fastest way to define large amounts of Regions and Locales in the RouteNGN.
The file should be in CSV (Comma Separated Value) format and should have the following layout.
Region,Locale,Dial Code
Example:
NY,MANHATTAN,1212
INDIA,MOBILE,9198
INDIA,,91
Please note that header rows should not be included in the import format.
To import a file, click on the UPLOAD link [TABLES-->UPLOAD] from anywhere in the TABLES
menu. A modal will drop down. Click on the REGIONS button. Then click Browse to search the
users computer or network drives for the Regions file you wish to upload. Once the user has selected
the proper file, click upload. Users will see a success message once the operation is complete. Any
errors in the upload will output to a file that users have the option of downloading.
Rates
Customer and supplier rates are uploaded into the system in the same manner. The uploaded file
should be in CSV (Comma Separated Value) format and should have the following layout.
Dial Code,Rate
Example:
1212,0.0125
9198,0.10
91,0.065
Please note that header rows should not be included in the import format. The database can import and
store rates to the 1/10,000th of a cent though the interface will only give detail of up to 1/100th of a cent.
To import a file, click on the UPLOAD link [TABLES-->UPLOAD] from anywhere in the TABLES
menu. A modal will drop down. Click on the RATES button. Click on the Carrier and then select the
Group or Groups you wish to apply the rates to. Next, click on the type of rate to be uploaded (LCR,
Inter-State, Intra-State, or Undefined). Then click Browse to search your computer or network drives
for the Rates file to be upload. Select the proper file, click upload. Users will receive a success
message once the operation is complete. Any errors in the upload will output to a file that users have
the option of downloading.
Routes
Routes are broken up into two categories, LCR and Domestic Routing. LCR (B-Number Only) routing
takes does not take the Region into consideration when determining how to route a call. Domestic
Routing (Jurisdictional) takes both the Region and Locale into consideration when routing.
Routing is broken out into two categories: Best Match and Best Rate:
Best Match
RouteNGN uses the following order to set route order for Best Match Routing:
1. Best Code Match*
} Profit Threshold Met?
2. End Point Group Priority
*NOTE: RouteNGN may be configured to return multiple locales for all digit matched not just one.
Best Rate
RouteNGN uses the following order to set route order for Best Rate Routing
1. Best Price for all possible code matches
2. Code Match
} Profit Threshold Met?
3. End Point Group Priority
Route Tables
The system allows users to add multiple Route Tables. To add a Route Table, enter the name of the
table to be added in the text box directly beneath the type of table you wish to add. The top row is for
LCR tables and the bottom row is for Domestic tables. When finished press [ENTER] and it will
automatically open that table.
LCR Route Tables
LCR routes are typically used for international call routing or flat rate domestic routes. Calls that use
LCR tables will be routed using the dialed number, ANI, or the RN only.
Domestic Route Tables

Domestic Route tables are typically used for Jurisdictional or Inter/Intra state routing. Domestic Route
Tables are broken out into three sub-tables. Inter-State, Intra-State, and Undefined. Calls that are
routed using Domestic Routing will first seek to determine if the ANI (A-Number) and the DNIS (B-
Number) are in the same Region. If they are it is considered Intra-State. If they are not it is considered
Inter-State. If it cannot be determined, as in internationally originated traffic for example, it is
considered Undefined.
Generating LCR
New tables are created without any routing built. The system will generate routing using the carriers
specified by the user and will automatically sort route choices in ascending rate order. Routing is
generated by clicking on the Update LCR button located on the tool bar on the upper right-hand corner
of the interface which will cause a modal to drop down. Select the Outbound Groups to be included in
this table. Click Apply. When the success message appears, it will automatically exit out of the modal
and bring the user back to the main Route page. Any time the Generate LCR function is used it will
update routing priorities for the entire table or sub-table. An APPLY is needed to make the changes
become active.
Maximum Route Depth

This feature prohibits the amount of vendor routes returned in a LCR or Domestic routing table. The
default is set to 5 which would allow five or fewer vendors to be returned per route. Acceptable values
are from 1 to 21.
Clear Customized Routes
Checking this will remove all manual route changes. See Section Changing Route Priorities for further
information about this feature.
Clear Block Routes

Checking this will remove all blocked vendors. See Section Block Vendor Routes for further
information about this feature.
Changing Route Priorities
In the Route Table Screen, route priorities are listed in descending order from left to right. The route
closest to the Region/Locale has the highest priority for those set of codes on that Route Table. To
change the priority order of a route, click on a route and drag it to the right or left and drop it in the
location desired. An APPLY is NOT needed to make changes active. In addition, updating the LCR
will not remove manually configured route changes.
Manual route changes will persist after an update LCR is generated. To remove the route changes the
user has two options. The first is to manually slide the routes back to the original location which will
NOT require the user to press the APPLY button. Option two, is to check the “Clear Customized
Routes” radio button, found on the Update LCR screen, which will allow the re-ordering of all changes
back to the original LCR based on rate amount. After implementing option two, the user must press the
APPLY button to make the changes become active.
Block Vendor Routes
To block a vendor from being returned based on a certain locale in a 3xx message, click on the edit
icon on the vendor locale block, and then click on the radio button. Press the check mark icon to save
the change. An APPLY will NOT be needed to make the changes active.
Configured blocks will persist after an update LCR is generated. To remove blocks you have two
options. The first is to manually uncheck all vendor(s) locales that where blocked. This option will not
require the user to press the APPLY button. Option two is to check the “Clear Blocked Routes” radio
button, found on the Update LCR careen, which will remove all blocks to all vendors. After
implementing option two, the user must press the APPLY button to make the changes become active.
Changing Rates
To change a rate manually, click on the edit icon in the routes page of the rate to be modified. This will
open a call out box where uses can edit the rate of the destination. Editing a rate in the routes screen
will modify the rate wherever it is used in the system.
Search
Regions, Locals or Dial Codes may be searched for in a Route Table. The search window is located on
the left hand side of the tool bar. Select Region, Locale or Dial Code in the pull down list and type
what is being searched for in the search window. The system will begin searching as soon as
something is typed into the window. There is no need to press [ENTER].
Route Table Download
To download a copy of the route table, click on the downward facing arrow located to the left of the
Update LCR button in the tool bar.
Trouble Shooting
To search for a Call Log in the system, navigate to [HOME]-->[RECORDS]. Enter the complete
dialed number of the call to search. The system stores calls for six hours.
