Managing Calling Profiles
A calling profile is a logical container for trunks and emergency strings that are used for outbound routing and emergency calling configurations. Every calling profile has a global unique identifier. You can have multiple calling profiles and a calling profile can have multiple trunks associated. For failover, at least two trunks must be associated with the calling profile. All trunks will be in active-active mode and the traffic will be distributed randomly between the trunks.
At least one calling profile should be configured per region, however a calling profile for each market is not required. Every number is associated with a single calling profile. When the When the Calling Profile is assigned to a customer, links are created in Live Platform between the customer tenant and the SBC. In the example below, the Calling Profile OC.CUSTOMERS.AUDIO-CODE.CO.IL is configured with two SBC devices, “oc1.customers.audio-code.co.il” and “oc2.customers.audio-code.co.il”. Once updated, two new links are generated in Live Platform, one for each configured SBC device.
Calling Profiles are ore-configured in the Operator Connect portal by AudioCodes Professional Services and are read-only in this view.

Synchronization: The processing time for the Synchronization operation with the Live Platform server and Microsoft platform depends on the server load. Run the 'peering.sync-calling-profiles-job' job and the 'sbc.sbc-sync-job' job to refresh the Enrolled Trunks list (see Synchronizing Operator Connect Jobs). |
If you are using the same calling profile for both calling and emergency, you will not need to create an emergency profile and you can directly configure your single calling profile with the required data.
