redirecting_number_forward_enabled values

Controls forwarding or discarding of redirecting number (SIP: diversion header) to outgoing call leg.

Values for this parameter are "0", "1", "false" or "true.

  • 0/false: Redirecting number (and original called number) is not forwarded to outgoing call leg
  • 1/true: Redirecting number (and original called number) is forwarded to outgoing call leg

The value for this parameter at input of routing script depends on the "Forward redirecting number" parameter in the "Advanced" section of the Gateway configuration page of the Web Portal. The script may change this value to override the Gateway configuration.

Note: To "insert" a new redirecting number value on the outgoing leg, redirecting_number_forward_enabled must also be set to true.

 

request_uri

Enables access to the Request-Line URI.

For example, if the Request-Line is:

Request-Line: INVITE sip:123456@172.31.1.12:5060;user=phone;transport=udp SIP/2.0

Then the retrieved request_uri will be "sip:123456@172.31.1.12:5060;user=phone;transport=udp SIP/2.0". 

In the routing scripts, to retrieve only the called number, this script can be used:

    if call_params[:request_uri] && call_params[:request_uri] =~ /sip:(.*)@.*/
       call_params[:called] = $1
    end

 

request_uri_forward_enabled values

Controls forwarding or discarding of request uri to outgoing call leg.The request uri is the information in the "Request-Line:" of the SIP INVITE message.

Values for this parameter are "0", "1", "false" or "true. 

  • 0/false: Request uri is not forwarded to outgoing call leg 
  • 1/true: Request uri is forwarded to outgoing call leg 

The value for this parameter at input of routing script is always false. 

 

sip_header values

Contains a hash table of custom sip headers from the inbound call leg. Any custom sip header can be added to an outgoing call leg:

call[ :sip_header ] = {"P-my-custom-header"=>"value1", "P-my-custom-header2"=>"value2", "P-my-custom-header3"=>"value3"}

 

List of sip headers that will not appear in call[:sip_header] since they are already processed by the SIP stack:

  • calling
  • called
  • nap
  • remapped_calling
  • remapped_called
  • remapped_nap
  • remapped_profile
  • remapped_incoming_profile

Example:

 route[:remapped_nap]

Additionally it is possible to add dynamic route attributes in the web portal. These can be referenced by their name.

 

Controlling UUI (user-to-user information) relay

UUI (user-to-user information) can be present in different messages received by either call leg during a call. For example, information can be carried during the initial invite, other information can be carried when the call is alerted, answered, or terminated.

Routing scripts can control if the UUI received from one leg through the call will be forwarded or not to the other call leg:

  • uui_forward_enabled

Routing scripts can also read and modify the UUI received with the incoming call leg, before it gets forwarded upon creation of the outgoing call leg:

  • uui

 

UUI (user-to-user indication) values

Byte array represented as ruby String. Use bridge=params[:bridge], then bridge[:uui] to access the data.

To access the bytes in Ruby, use ruby String operator []. For example: bridge[:uui][0] will return the binary value of the first UUI byte.

Function each_byte can also be useful to iterate through all bytes of the UUI.

 

uui_forward_enabled values

Controls forwarding or discarding of UUI to outgoing call leg.

Values for this parameter are "0", "1", "false" or "true.

  • 0/false: UUI is not forwarded between call legs
  • 1/true: UUI is forwarded between call legs

The value for this parameter at input of routing script depends on the "Forward UUI" parameter in the "Advanced" section of the Gateway configuration page of the Web Portal. The script may change this value to override the Gateway configuration.

 

Authorization

Starting with release 2.7, it is possible to issue RADIUS authorization requests from routing scripts. To do so, the params[:authorization] object must be filled with the required RADIUS attributes and an exception must be raised with reason :authorization_required.

When the authorization is completed, the routing script is called again with the result. The params[:authorization] object will be filled with the RADIUS attributes from the response. The params[:authorization][:result] field will also contain a string indicating the result of the authorization:

  • accept: The authorization was successful.
  • reject: The authorization was refused.
  • challenge: The authorization was challenged.
  • timeout: The authorization was not answered.

 

Call diversion options

It's possible to control the call flow when a call diversion information is received in the alerting state.

Two fields are available: bridge[ :diversion ] and bridge[ :diversion_reason ]

The internal release cause DIVERT_NOT_ALLOWED is used by gateway application to terminate both legs.

 bridge[ :diversion ] = :allowed

The alert message will not be analyzed and the call will be progressed. Default behavior.

 bridge[ :diversion ] = :not_allowed

If the alert message indicates that the call is diverted, the call will be released no matter the In-band information to allow early media.

 bridge[ :diversion ] = :not_allowed_w_early_media

The call will be released If the alert message indicates that the call is diverted with in-band information to allow early media.

 bridge[ :diversion_reason ] = "*"

If the diversion is not allowed, the gateway will drop the call for any redirecting reason.

 bridge[ :diversion_reason ] = []
 bridge[ :diversion_reason ] << :busy
 bridge[ :diversion_reason ] << :unconditional

If the diversion is not allowed, the redirecting reason will be analyzed and the call will only be dropped for the configured cases.

 

Call transfer requests

SmartMedia allows to relay Call transfer requests from one leg to the other, or to process them locally (making another outgoing call to replace the call that requested the call transfer).

If the chosen Call transfer mode is to process requests locally, upon reception of a call transfer request (SIP REFER or ISDN Facility), routing script will be called once again, to select the routes for the new outgoing call (call transfer target).

 

How to route call transfer request

Routing of a call transfer request is done exactly like routing of a normal incoming call. The routing script generally does not need any modification to support that.

In some cases, the routing script may want to use information related to the transfer request to perform routing, or to insert information in the outgoing call leg. Additional information is provided to the routing script, allowing routing decisions using information from the call transfer request (SIP REFER or ISDN Facility). See below.

 

params[ :call ] content during transfer request

When processing a call transfer request, the params[ :call ] hash contains the information from the inbound call (same as was passed to the routing script upon arrival of the inbound call)

call = params[ :call ]          -> Information from original inbound call, with exception of call[ :called ]

One exception (convenient because it allows a unmodified routing script to process call transfer request the same way as any other routing request):

call[ :called ]                 -> Replaced by the called number from the call transfer request (also called "redirection number")

Complementary information:

call[ :original_called_number ] -> Contains the called number that was initially received from the incoming call, prior to call transfer request
call[ :redirecting_number ]     -> Number of the call from which the call transfer request was received (generally equals to original_called_number)

These fields will also be included in the outgoing call made after routing:

  • original called number and redirecting number are existing fields on SS7 and ISDN calls
  • SIP "diversion" header is used for SIP calls

 

params[ :transfer ] content

(this if valid only for release 2.7.102 and above)
When processing a call transfer request, information from the call transfer request message (SIP REFER, ISDN Facility) is provided in params[ :transfer ]:

 transfer = params[ :transfer ]

The following field is always present:

 transfer[ :original_nap ]      -> Contains the NAP of the first call from which a call transfer request was received
 transfer[ :redirecting_nap ]   -> Contains the NAP of the call from which the current call transfer request was received
                                   (same as :original_nap for the first call transfer, different for subsequent transfers)

Examples of other fields that may be present, when appropriate:

 transfer[ :uui ]               -> The UUI (user-to-user information) found in the call transfer request
 transfer[ :sip_header ]        -> Contains custom SIP headers from the call transfer request
 transfer[ :request_uri ]       -> Contains the SIP Request URI

These fields are 'read-only'. They won't be included in the outgoing call, as they represent the content of the call transfer request, not the outgoing call to make.

To insert/modify attributes of the outgoing call, the parameters from params[ :call ] must be edited instead.

 

Redirection

In release 2.8, redirection contacts are obtained from the routing engine in the following format:

  • params[:contacts][:list] contains the contact log. Each contact within the list has the following fields:
    • :called_number - the called number
    • :is_number_ported - if the called number has been ported
    • :ported_number - the called number that was ported (if available)
    • :sip_uri - the SIP URI of the contact (if available)
    • :raw_data - the raw data representing the contact in the signaling protocol
    • :priority - the priority of the contact [0-1000]
    • :expiration - the expiration time in seconds of the contact
  • params[:contacts][:index] contains the index of the contact that is currently being routed.
  • params[:contacts][:source_indexes] contains a comma-separated list of indexes from params[:contacts][:list]. Each index represents the contact from which the contact in the list was obtained from. For instance: "nil,0,0,2"describes the following example contact hierarchy:
 * 1234 <sip:1234@test.com>
    |- 1234 <sip:1234@other.com>
    `- 5555 <sip:5555@test.com>
        `- 5555 <sip:5555@final.com>

 

Terminating calls

In release 2.8, it is now possible to terminate a call through the routing scripts. The reason code must be specified in params[:bridge][:reason]. The :terminate hash must be created and copied into params:

 terminate = {}
 params[:terminate] = terminate

The following fields can then be set in :terminate:

  • :sip_header
  • :contacts # list of contacts as described in the redirection section
  • :isup_raw
  • :isup_raw_variant
  • :redirecting_number
  • :redirecting_number_noa
  • :redirecting_number_npi
  • :redirecting_number_presentation
  • :redirecting_number_reason
  • :redirecting_number_counter
  • :redirecting_number_indicator
  • :original_called_number
  • :original_called_number_noa
  • :original_called_number_npi
  • :original_called_number_presentation
  • :original_called_number_reason
  • :original_called_number_counter

If the nap status is part of a substructure, it's name in the routing scripts must be composed of the structure name appended by an underscore and the field name.

For example the name to use for the global ASR percentage is:

 asr_statistics_struct_global_asr_percent


It is also possible to add dynamic nap attributes in the web portal. These can be referenced by their name.

 

Routing Script Tests

The Web portal features a tool for script testing. User must enter parameters to simulate the incoming call. Test is commenced by pressing "Test" button and as result an output of selected routes and numbers will be presented. You do not need to activate the new routes, or the new scripts to use this test tool. It can be used to test the routing scripts and routing table before activating it, as long as you are using the modified configuration context. Tool is available in the Routing Scripts section of the Web portal.

 

Test parameters

@call_params

Vvariable should contain a hash of call parameters that will passed to the routing script. This is equivalent to the incoming call parameters.

 

@nap_list

A list of hash containing the nap statuses. This is equivalent to the nap statuses at the time the call is to be routed.

The nap list is hashed by the nap names in UPPERCASE. It is important to consider this when creating new dynamic route or nap attributes that may nap names that will be used to fetch a status.

 

@params

A hash of hashes containing parameters. This hash contains bridge parameters and other kind of parameter groups may be added in the future.

Example: @params = {:bridge => {:announcement_tone, "announcement.wav"}}
