Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Alias Macros
7-19
Alias Macros
An alias macro is a program within an alias that translates incoming call requests into
outgoing call requests. It is a shortcut that allows a programmer to write many aliases
by only writing one macro.
Macros allow for call routing with fewer aliases. Using them with alternate routing
provides multiple routes for a single alias.
A macro may be entered for combinations of any or all of the following items:
z
Alias names
z
Called addresses
z
Caller’s addresses
z
Call data
z
Application-specific strings
z
Alternate routing aliases.
Each macro acts as a command line with instructions for matching patterns in alias
fields and for manipulating them for redirection.
