# Static Route

#### Introduction

Static Route is how you define actually how vendor trunk is to be selected.  Within Static Route, you can order the vendor trunks by:

* Top Down Routing
* Round Robin Routing
* Percentage Routing

Top Down Routing means Class 4 will always select the route from top to bottom of the vendor trunk list.  Round Robin means Class 4 will balance traffic sent all vendor trunk evenly.  Percentage routing let's you define % of traffic being sent to each vendor trunk. 

Here is how you create static routing:

#### Step 1: Click on Routing > Static Routing

#### Step 2: View all existing static routing

#### Step 3: Add new static routing

You can click on "Create New" and then create a new static routing:

If you are terminating US traffic, you should route by LRN number instead.  For A-Z traffic, pls select DNIS.

#### Step 4: Add new static routing entry

When you click inside the name of the static route, you get to see the list of routing entry:

You can have different set of vendor trunks defined for different DNIS routing code.  You can have different routing strategy for different DNIS prefix or you can leave it blank.
