Mapping Voice Routes to Call Types

Voice routes in Lync or Skype for Business Server are used as follows:

•
to translate how each phone number pattern is routed through a target phone number
•
to translate how each phone number pattern is routed to an appropriate media gateway
•
to identify and apply phone usage authorization for the calling party

In the report pack, you use the Call Types property page to map voice routes to specific call types.

The report pack retrieves the voice routes from Active Directory and displays them according to the priority assigned in Lync or Skype for Business Server. For voice routes, you can map call types at the forest level. You retrieve and map the global voice routes.

Call types help you identify the types of calls such as internal, local, long-distance, international, and toll-free.

To map voice routes to call types
* 
IMPORTANT: Ensure that all your connected numbers match to one of your voice routes in the Voice Properties - Call Types property page. Any number that is not mapped to one of the voice routes is treated as local phone number in the Enterprise Voice reports such as the Outgoing Calls report.
