Lync Server 2013 CU1, Location-Based Routing is a feature of Enterprise Voice. Location-Based Routing is a call management feature that controls how calls are routed by Lync Server 2013 CU1. It enforces restrictions on whether calls can be routed to PBX or PSTN destinations based on the Lync caller’s location. Location-Based Routing applies call authorization rules to PSTN calls based on the caller’s network location. The caller’s location is determined based on the network site associated with the network subnet the caller is connected on. Configuring Location-Based Routing requires first deploying Enterprise Voice, then configuring network regions, sites and subnets. This sets up the foundation for enabling Location-Based Routing.

Before deploying Location-Based Routing, you must first deploy Enterprise Voice, and configure network regions, sites, and associate network subnets to your network sites. Once completed, you can configure Location-Based Routing. For steps on how to configure network regions, sites and subnets, see Deploying Advanced Enterprise Voice Features

This section guides you through the configuration of Location-Based Routing using the following example as illustration.
