Every region within a call admission control (CAC) configuration must have some way to access every other region. While region links set bandwidth limitations on the connections between regions and also represent the physical links, a route determines which linked path the connection will traverse from one region to another. You can use Lync Server Control Panel to configure network region routes. From Lync Server Control Panel, you can create, modify, or delete a network region route. Use this topic to create or modify a network region route. For details about deleting an existing network region routes, see Deleting Existing Network Region Routes.
