ONT Product Information Guide
2 If the matching point also satisfies all conditions of the pattern (such as the 
number of repetitions allowed), then digit collection is ended.
3 If no matching pattern is found, then digit collection is ended.
Digit map digit collection
Digit collection begins when the device goes off-hook. Digit map processing occurs 
until one of the following events occurs:
• The permanent timer expires when no digit has been received.
• The interdigit timer expires after at least one digit has been received.
• no more patterns are matched, and the base of the digit map tree is reached
• a digit is entered for which there is no matching pattern
• the enter key is used, but it is processed as an enter key only if there is not a 
pattern match for the defined enter key at that point in the tree
The call attempt is made (INVITE sent) with digits collected at the point the digit 
collection ends.
Digit map syntax, collection elements, and samples for package A, B, 
H, and I-240W-S ONTs
The ONT digit map is a pattern that guides digit collection and allows the user agent 
to determine when dialing is complete. The digit_map SIP parameter is used to set 
this pattern. One digit map is supported for each POTS port.
White space in the digit map string is not significant. Characters are not case 
sensitive. Parenthesis can be used to create patterns with following operators and 
modifiers and to group sets of patterns together. An enter key on the phone is used 
during digit collection to end the collection and cause the call attempt to be made 
(INVITE sent). The enter key detected by the ONT is configurable with the SIP 
provisioning enter_key parameter. The default is “#”.
Vertical bar characters are used to create alternate patterns in the digit map. For 
example 1 | 2| 3 means 1 or 2 or 3. Care must be taken to make alternative patterns 
unambiguous when constructing a digit map.
Digit collection can be influenced by the following SIP configuration parameters 
(see section 5.7 for details on these parameters):
• permanent timer 
• interdigit timer 
• critical timer
• use of the Enter key
