Bulk import for Domains
Please follow these rules when creating an XML bulk import file:
• The domain name must be unique, and is referred to by other elements.
• It is not possible to create a domain with <domainType> of type “sip” that have
<defaultDomain> containing the value “true”.
• The values in <domainType> must appear exactly same (being case sensitive) as they
appear in the System Manager user interface.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<sipdomainFullTOList>
<SipdomainFullTO>
<notes>this is a test</notes>
<defaultDomain>false</defaultDomain>
<domainName>avaya.com</domainName>
<domainType>sip</domainType>
<name>avaya.com</name>
</SipdomainFullTO>
<SipdomainFullTO>
<notes>this is another test</notes>
<defaultDomain>false</defaultDomain>
<domainName>avaya2.com</domainName>
<domainType>sip</domainType>
<name>avaya2.com</name>
</SipdomainFullTO>
</sipdomainFullTOList>

About Locations
You can use the Locations screen to set up and configure gateway and user locations. The IP
address of the device determines the current physical location of the caller or the called user.
Session Manager matches the IP address against the patterns defined on location screens. If
a call is from a SIP Entity does not match the IP address pattern then Session Manager uses
the location administered for the SIP Entity.
Session Manager uses the originating location to determine which dial patterns to look at when
routing the call if there are dial patterns administered for specific locations. Locations are also
used to limit the number of calls coming out of or going to a physical location. This is useful for
those locations where the network bandwidth is limited. This is also known as Call Admission
Control (CAC). CAC provides a level of protection by limiting the impact of multimedia traffic
over the most critical network links between enterprise locations, such as the links from branch
