In the Assign Routes tab, you can add Routes and/or Virtual Numbers to be used by the respective space. This section allows you to manage and prioritize the communication routes, ensuring efficient message delivery and connectivity.

This section is divided into two sections:

• Routes: A Route is a predefined path through which messages and communication traffic are directed to reach their intended destination. Routes are essential for managing how messages are sent and received within a communication platform. They typically involve specific configurations such as connection names, priorities, and assignment types to ensure efficient and reliable message delivery.

  

  The columns shown in the Route table are the following:

  • Name: Name of the route.
  • Code: Code Number that is associated with the Route.
  • Connection Name: Name of the specific connection used for the route.
  • Priority: Determines the order in which routes are used, with higher priority routes being preferred.
  • Assignment Type: Defines the type of messages handled by the route (MT, MO, or both).
  • Validation: Test the route to validate that it works correctly.
  • Actions: Use the trash bin icon to remove the route from the list.

• Virtual Routes: A Virtual Route is a logical pathway used to manage and direct communication traffic without relying on a physical connection. Virtual routes are typically used to handle and route messages within the platform’s internal systems.

  

  The columns shown in the Route table are the following:

  • Name: Name of the virtual route.
  • Actions: Use the trash bin icon to remove the virtual route from the list.
