Call Routing
Due to the powerful routing and processing functions on the SmartNode it is possible to use a single or multiple SmartNodes to route calls to different destinations.
Example 1: you could split your PRI line comming in between two destinations a tradtional PBX with ISDN and a soft switch based on DDI (or other parameters).
Example 2: SmartNode gateways can be linked together to provide links to other locations or to link systems.
Example 3: SmartNodes might manipulate DDI and CLI informtaion to provide a co-ordinated dial plan and least cost routing based upon the desired destination.
