Creating Dial Plan
Configuration Files
The simplest way to create a new dial plan is to model it after an
existing one.
1 Go to the Operations tab (Figure 3).
2 Browse for a dial plan, or select one from the pull-down list.
3 Click Open to open the file in your browser.
4 Click Save As and save the dial plan as a new file.
You can now edit the file with an ASCII editor. After you customize the
new dial plan, Import it to the NBX system. see “Importing and Exporting
Dial Plan Configuration Files” later in this chapter.
3Com recommends that you enter these commands at the top of every
dial plan configuration file:
Table Delete *
DestinationRoute Delete *
TimedRoute Delete *
PreTranslator Delete *
When you subsequently import this dial plan, these commands purge any
traces of the old dial plan and prevent any conflicts that can result from
importing one dial plan on top of an existing one.
