Testing Call Routing Simulation with a Specific SIP Header

The Test Route feature includes the capability to simulate a call with a specific SIP header’s value. Before testing call routing simulation with a specific SIP header, you need to configure the manipulation of a specific Source URI header as described in Adding a New Routing Rule.

➢

To perform Test Route with simulation of SIP header value:

1.

In the Test Route screen, expand the ‘Advanced Options’ screen section, add one of the headers and provide a value. Multiple headers can be provided as input for Test Route (multiple adds). The following SIP header types are supported:

●

Contact

●

X-ARM-DETAIL [for simulation of ARM capabilities to route a call based on any SIP header value (capability also requires manipulation at the SBC level)]

●

To

●

From

●

P-Asserted-Identity

●

P-Preferred-Identity

2.

Perform Test Route for SIP header simulation. Only one SIP header of each type can be added. However, more than one SIP header (up to three) of type X-ARM-DETAIL can be added.

3.

View the manipulated value, including the reason for the manipulation and the normalization rule that was applied, in the Test Route result in the details of the selected path.

4.

Perform a Test Route with a P-Asserted-identity value simulation (for example).

5.

Click OK and view the Test Route results.

6.

Under 'Paths', select the path and click Details to view its details showing the manipulation performed on P-Asserted-Identity.

7.

Following is an example of manipulation of X-ARM-DETAIL and its testing. In the Routing Rule, under ‘SIP headers’ under ‘Advanced Conditions’, add the header name and its value:
