Adding a trunk group to a route plan

You can add a trunk group to a route plan for a Lumen® SIP Trunking service using Control Center. Typically, you add a trunk group to provide a failover option (for route plans with a sequential hunt) or to balance call volume between two or more trunk groups (for route plans with a percent allocation hunt). If your organziational needs change, you can also remove a trunk group from a route plan.

To add a trunk group to a route plan:

  1. Click Services.

    Control Center shows the Services console. Use the console to access an inventory of your services, check the status of orders, and manage your services.
