Routing script tutorial:Mini Development Guide
Call object
Get
Those function are used to get the call parameters. The possible parameters are described in the section "Call parameters"
called_number = caf_call.get :called
List_params
This function is used to retrieve the list of supported call parameters. For example to extract all the possible call params from the the call object and put it in hash.
caf_call.list_params.each {|param| call[param] = caf_call.get param }
Accept
This function is used to accept a call. It actually creates one outgoing route that gateway application will use to bridge the incoming call leg. If more than one outgoing route is "accepted", gateway will try them one by one in the same order they were accepted. If an outgoing call leg fails (according to 'route retry' parameters), the next route in line will be used.
This method takes 2 arguments, the call parameters (hash) and the route parameters (hash). Note that calling this method does NOT stop the flow of the script.
Apply route remapping rules
caf_call.accept out_call, route
Refuse
This function is used to set the reason code for the incoming call leg refusal. However, this function does NOT stop the flow of the script.
caf_call.refuse :reason => :temporary_failure
To immediately refuse the incoming call leg and stop processing the script, the script must raise an exception. Exiting the script by raising the exception overwrites any reason cause previously stored using refuse().
raise RoutingException, :no_route
The supported refusal cause values for both refuse() and raise() are described in the section "Reason values".

OLI (originating line information) values
The OLI parameter is a string that represents an integer value from 0 to 255.
redirecting_number_forward_enabled values
Controls forwarding or discarding of redirecting number (SIP: diversion header) to outgoing call leg.
Values for this parameter are "0", "1", "false" or "true. 0/false: Redirecting number (and original called number) is not forwarded to outgoing call leg 1/true: Redirecting number (and original called number) is forwarded to outgoing call leg The value for this parameter at input of routing script depends on the "Forward redirecting number" parameter in the "Advanced" section of the Gateway configuration page of the Web Portal. The script may change this value to override the Gateway configuration.
request_uri
Enables access to the Request-Line URI.
For example, if the Request-Line is:
Request-Line: INVITE sip:4175162082@172.22.45.13:5060;user=phone;transport=udp SIP/2.0
Then the retrieved request_uri will be "sip:4175162082@172.22.45.13:5060;user=phone;transport=udp SIP/2.0".
In the routing scripts, to retrieve only the called number, this script can be used:
if call_params[:request_uri] && call_params[:request_uri] =~ /sip:(.*)@.*/ call_params[:called] = $1 end
request_uri_forward_enabled values
Controls forwarding or discarding of request uri to outgoing call leg.The request uri is the information in the "Request-Line:" of the SIP INVITE message.
Values for this parameter are "0", "1", "false" or "true.
0/false: Request uri is not forwarded to outgoing call leg
1/true: Request uri is forwarded to outgoing call leg
The value for this parameter at input of routing script is always false.
Route parameters
All route may have these parameters:
- calling
- called
- nap
- remapped_calling
- remapped_called
- remapped_nap
- remapped_profile
Additionally it is possible to add dynamic route attributes in the web portal. These can be referenced by their name.
Playing prompts announcements or tones
New feature in release 2.6, all bridges may have these parameters. These can be used to play IVR prompts or wav files in different states of the call flow, like playing an announcement when the caller dials in. You can also manage the User to User information element.
- announcement_tone
- call_progress_tone
- ring_tone
- max_call_duration
- call_duration_reason
- disconnect_tone
- uui
- uui_forward_enabled
The following sections show how to access those different parameters from inside a filter. The 'params' hash is the sole argument passed to a filter function and contains call, nap, route and bridge parameters. This hash is created by the base_routing.rb scripts to regroup all relevant information just before calling the filter functions.
Tone string format
All tone strings (:announcement_tone, :call_progress_tone, :ring_tone, :disconnect_tone) inside bridge parameters are using this format.
"file1.wav:repeat:start_off:end_off,file2.wav:repeat:start_off:end_off,file3.wav:repeat:start_off:end_off"
optional repeat parameter: number of times to play the file (0 and 1 have the same result)
optional start_off parameter : Start offset in milliseconds
optional end_off parameter: End offset in milliseconds
Example: "file1.wav,file2.wav:-1" will play file1.wav one time and then play file2.wav in loop.
Example: "file1.wav:0:1000:3000,file2.wav:2:5000:10000" will play file1.wav from second 1 to second 3 then file2.wav from second 5 to second 10 two times.
Example: "file1.wav:0:0:30000" will play file1.wav one time for a max duration of 30 seconds.
announcement_tone
params[:bridge][:announcement_tone] = "announcement.wav"
Prompt played on the incoming leg with the stream_server before any outgoing call is placed. The outgoing call occurs when the wav file is completed or when the "profile:Busy Tone max duration" is reached.
call_progress_tone
params[:bridge][:call_progress_tone] = "no_route.wav"
Prompt played after "announcement_tone" when reason is not "ok" or when outgoing call disconnect before answer state.
"none" value is used to bypass "profile:Generate Busy (Congestion) Tone" and to play no audio prompt.
ring_tone
params[:bridge][:ring_tone] = "ringing.wav"
Prompt played between alerting state and answer state. Bypass any other ring back tone (RBT) configured in profile.
max_call_duration
params[:bridge][:max_call_duration] = "60000"
Maximum call duration in millisecond for the current bridge. This timer is started when entering answer state.
call_duration_reason
params[:bridge][:call_duration_reason] = :resource_unavailable
Drop both legs with this reason when call duration (:max_call_duration) is reached.
disconnect_tone
params[:bridge][:disconnect_tone] = "max_duration.wav"
Prompt played (on the incoming leg only) when call duration (:max_call_duration) is reached before terminating the leg with call duration reason (:call_duration_reason).
UUI (user-to-user indication) values
Byte array represented as ruby String. Use bridge=params[:bridge], bridge.get(:uui).each_byte to access the data in case the UUI contains non printable character.
uui_forward_enabled values
Controls forwarding or discarding of UUI to outgoing call leg.
Values for this parameter are "0", "1", "false" or "true. 0/false: UUI is not forwarded to outgoing call leg 1/true: UUI is forwarded to outgoing call leg The value for this parameter at input of routing script depends on the "Forward UUI" parameter in the "Advanced" section of the Gateway configuration page of the Web Portal. The script may change this value to override the Gateway configuration.
Recording call legs
Introduced in release 2.6.44, it's now possible to use routing scripts to ask for recording incoming and/or outgoing call legs.
See example filter script "call_recording" (created by default in Web Portal routing scripts starting with 2.6.44) for an example.
Recording the incoming call leg
To record the incoming call leg, the routing script (in a "after filter" for example) has to set the following parameter:
bridge[ :record_incoming ] = ""
Recording the outgoing call leg
To record the outgoing call leg, the routing script (in a "after filter" for example) has to set the following parameter, per route (the decision to record or not, or the file name to record to, can be set per matching route):
# Need to clone the routes in order to have the right to modify them routes = clone_routes params[:routes] routes.each do |route| route[ :record_outgoing ] = "" end # Store modified routes back to the parameters for this outgoing call params[:routes] = routes
Record the outgoing call leg within incoming leg's recorded file (mixing)
[...] route[ :record_outgoing ] = "@{MixWithIncoming}" [...]
Choosing file path to record to
The value assigned to ":record_incoming" or ":record_outgoing" is the path to record the file to:
- Empty file name will default to a name that contains various information about the call:
- LinkId: Id common between all legs of this call bridge
- LegId: Unique Id for this leg
- Nap: Current NAP name this call leg is from
- Direction: "IN" or "OUT" (depends if call leg is incoming or outgoing leg)
- Calling: The calling number of this call leg
- Called: The called number of this call leg
- Protocol: The signaling protocol of this call leg (SS7, ISDN, CAS, SIP)
- Media info: Codec + IP/Port for SIP calls, Trunk/Timeslot for TDM calls
- To record outgoing call leg in the same audio file as incoming call leg (mixing), use the following:
- @{MixWithIncoming}: Record outgoing legs in same file as incoming legs
- Variables can be used to insert in the recording path information that's not already available from routing scripts:
- @{DefaultName}: Same file name (without parent folder path) as the one used when empty string is provided
- Example: "73EBA698-F3D67B4B-NAP_SS7-IN-5550000-5550001-SS7-TRUNK_BELL_11-24.wav"
- Example: "73EBA698-73EBA698-NAP_SIP-OUT-5550000-5550001-SIP-G723-10.3.10.101-1050.wav"
- @{DefaultPath}: Same path as the one used when empty string is provided
- Example: "recorded_calls/73EBA698-F3D67B4B-NAP_SS7-IN-5550000-5550001-SS7-TRUNK_BELL_11-24.wav"
- Example: "recorded_calls/73EBA698-73EBA698-NAP_SIP-OUT-5550000-5550001-SIP-G723-10.3.10.101-1050.wav"
- @{LinkId}: Current LinkId (Id common between all legs of this call bridge)
- Example: "73EBA698"
- @{LegId}: Current LegId (Unique Id for this leg)
- Example: "F3D67B4B"
- @{Protocol}: Protocol type of current leg
- Example: "SS7"
- @{Direction}: Direction of current leg (IN our OUT)
- Example: "IN"
- @{PKG_HOME}: Path where packages are stored. Note: It's not recomended to use that path on redundant systems, package file replication may cause confusion in recorded files.
- Example: "/lib/tb/toolpack/pkg"
- @{CURRENT_PKG}: Version of current package
- Example: "2.6.45"
- @{PROMPT_PATH}: Default path where audio prompts are stored. Note: It's not recomended to use that path on redundant systems, package file replication may cause confusion in recorded files.
- Example: "/lib/tb/toolpack/pkg/prompts"
- @{TBX_GW_PORT}: Current "System Id" (also called "Gateway Port")
- Example: "12358"
- @{DefaultName}: Same file name (without parent folder path) as the one used when empty string is provided

If the nap status is part of a substructure, it's name in the routing scripts must be composed of the structure name appended by an underscore and the field name.
For example the name to use for the global ASR percentage is:
asr_statistics_struct_global_asr_percent
It is also possible to add dynamic nap attributes in the web portal. These can be referenced by their name.
Test parameters
@call_params
That variable should contain a hash of call parameters that will passed to the routing script. This is equivalent to the incoming call parameters.
@nap_list
A list of hash containing the nap statuses. This is equivalent to the nap statuses at the time the call is to be routed.
The nap list is hashed by the nap names in UPPERCASE. It is important to consider this when creating new dynamic route or nap attributes that may nap names that will be used to fetch a status.
@params
A hash of hashes containing parameters. This hash contains bridge parameters and other kind of parameter groups may be added in the future.
Example: @params = {:bridge => {:announcement_tone, "announcement.wav"}}
