Bandwidth Parameters sections in the Location Details page allow you to specify the CAC

Note:
Session Manager logs the result of each rejected multimedia CAC request which enables
the determination of the root cause when multimedia calls fail.
Session Manager allows you to use the following wildcard characters to specify a location:
• “*” (star) is used to specify any number of allowed characters at the end of the string.
• “x” is used to specify a digit.
Note:
Pattern can also accept IP address range. Example: 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.5
IP address mask is also a valid pattern. Example: 135.9.0.0/16
The Locations screen can contain one or several IP addresses. Each SIP entity has a particular
IP address. Depending on the physical and geographic location of each SIP entity, some of
the SIP entities can be grouped into a single location. For example, if there are two
Communication Managers located at Denver, they can form one location named Denver.
