Cisco Cisco Expressway
Optional Configuration Tasks
Task 12: Configuring Routes to a Neighbor Zone (optional)
You can optionally set up neighbor zones and associated search rules on the Expressway-C if you need to route calls to
other systems such as a Cisco VCS or Unified CM.
other systems such as a Cisco VCS or Unified CM.
Example: Cisco VCS Neighbor Zone
For example, you may want to route calls towards devices (typically H.323 devices) that are registered to a Cisco VCS. In
this example, the devices that are registered to Cisco VCS have an address (destination alias) in the format
<alias>@vcs.domain. (Note that you may need additional rules or transforms if the H.323 devices have registered E.164
numbers or H.323 IDs without a domain portion).
