Once again I am reaching out the the great minds here. We are implementing SIP to the carrier. I have been working and testing with the carrier for a couple of months doing interop testing. We are ready to start outbound testing with a pilot group.

My question is what would be the best way to do this only allowing the 10 people to make calls using this route?

This is the scenario I have in my head.
Currently all users can call out to 800-777-7777 using route one PSTN T1. Is there a way to have the pilot users dial the same number but go out the SIP route?

Thank you
 
The easiest thing to do is give those 10 users a higher NCOS than everyone else. Change entry 0 in the RLI for 800 and give it the correct FRL value and rote for the SIp trunks. You will also have to creat a new entry for the original entry 0 route. Or, if your users are up for it. give them the ACOD to that route and make sure they arent restricted by TGAR.
 
I was thinking of doing it by TGAR say assigning 7 but that would mean changing all the other phones to TGAR of 7 is that correct?
 
So are you wanting to accomplish this through BARS/TGAR or just give the 10 users the ACOD to the route? Truthfully if the call works once it should continue to work. Maybe this is a lot more work than it needs to be.
 
I need it to be as painless to the user as possible. The ultimate goal is at the end of the 30 pilot ( if successful) to enable all outbound to that route.
 
Painless to the user would require putting the new route as entry 0 in that RLI and creating a new NCOS value. Say all users are a 7 or lower now. You would need to use NCOS 8 on the phone and FRL 8 in the RLI for entry 0 and move the current entry 0 to entry 1. You also need to make sure in the NCTL Table that NCOS 8 = FRL 8. It's complicated if you haven't done it before. If you use TGAR then you need to make sure TGAR is turned on for use through BARS.
 

KCFLHRC, I think that explanation turned the light on for me THANK YOU! I've done routing before but its all been simple outbound. First time I'm trying to restrict many and enable a few.
 
Hi, You can use SCL and PRE for the users stations that are going to dial by SIP trunks, SCL and PRE are created on LD 18, For example when these users dial 9 that become on the ACOD of the SIP route or an ESN
 
KCFLHRC, Thanks for your advice. I did what you suggested and things are routing as expected. [bowright]
 
I had the same issue as you zstic78 but I was the only one testing so I chose the TARG/TGAR way like what you were thinking. I set up the Route's TARG so that all the current TGARs couldn't access it and then I changed the "pilot" user's (myself) TGAR to access for testing, later I modified the TARG on the route so everyone could access it. My case was a little easier as I had reused an old route.
 
I was the pilot user during interop testing. This should work well, as I think I can just change the ncos for everyone when we go live and leave the rli entry in place for the SPN and NPAs
 
There are a few ways of doing it, pick your poison. Good luck
