Uploading numbers
The Customer Leads page lets you upload phone numbers to the customer tenant service. Numbers are attached to a Calling Profile that is mapped to the SBC device used to route calls for the configured numbers. The following Number types can be configured and uploaded:
■ | Numbers for assigning to Contact Center agents |
■ | Numbers for assigning to calling users (not applicable to the CX service) |
■ | Numbers for assigning to services running external applications such as Emergency Calling applications and Fax IVR or Voca (not applicable to CX service) |
You can also configure CAC Profiles that are designed to manage and limit the number of concurrent calls handled by SBC devices on the level of the SIP Connection entity. This prevents network resource overload. On Live Platform, CAC Profiles can also be used for Metering customer tenant services; phone numbers that are uploaded to the customer tenant and routed through theses SIP connections can also be configured with these profiles.
