Test destination phone numbers with the call simulator

Genesys Cloud provides a tool for telephony admins to test that a site is correctly configured to dial numbers and SIP addresses. The tool checks the Genesys Cloud settings for number normalization, number plan, classification, outbound route, external trunk settings, in-service Edges, and destination sites.

Run the call simulator 

1. Click Admin.
2. Under Telephony, click Sites.
3. Locate and click your site in the Site Name list.
4. Click the Simulate Call tab.
5. Enter a destination number or SIP address in the Phone Number or Address field and press the return key on your physical keyboard.
6. Click the Simulate Call.

When you click Simulate Call, you’ll see a results display that indicates whether the overall call simulation was successful or a failure. In addition, you’ll find success/failure details for each of the specific components involved in the call simulation. 

Results display
