SM Backup Routes

[trilogy8]

If ASM has a dial pattern/route policy where the destination becomes unreachable, where do you setup a backup route? Similar to if a TG in CM becomes down and you have additional routes in the RP.

you make many routing profiles for 1 sip entity. the profile in the tiem of day part has a 'rank' by default '0'

So, I might have a little audiocodes gateway at site 10 with a copper trunk. I might also have a SBC with SIP trunks.

Routing Policy SBC rank 0
Routing Policy SBC rank 1
Routing Policy Audiocodes rank 0
Routing Policy Audiocodes rank 1

For dial pattern *, min/max 10/11, from location 'site 10', I'd assign the policies SBC Rank0 and Audiocodes Rank1
For the dial pattern 911, from location site 10, I'd assign the policies Audiocodes Rank0 and SBC Rank 1

That way, all my calls from phones at that location will go out the SBC and fail over to the Audiocodes if the SIP trunks are down, but if anyone dials 911, it'll go out the Audiocodes copper trunk first.
