Local Directory Loose Number Matching
If the incoming calling number does not match exactly to the local directory, the 
lookup will fail and the phone will not display the stored directory name. Now, the 
phone can be configured to match only the specified number of digits against the 
local directory.
Administrators can enter a parameter “directory digits match” to determine the 
number of digits (from the incoming call) that the phone will use to perform a lookup 
in the local directory to match the number to a contact. The phone will take the last n 
digits of the incoming call to perform the lookup. 
For example, if a local directory contains the following contact:
555123456 Spain Office, 
and the “directory digits match” parameter is configured (directory digits match: 9), 
the phone will take the last 9 digits of the incoming number (+34555123456
) and 
match it to the contact in the directory and display the following on the phone:
Spain Office
+34555123456
