4.1.6 Dial Plan
A dial plan establishes the expected number and pattern of digits for a telephone
number. This includes country codes, access codes, area codes and all combinations of
dialed digits.
Dial plans can be used for least cost routing, dialing convenience or to prevent users
from calling specific numbers or groups of numbers.
Alcatel IP1020 supports various types of elements related to dial plan: replace rules ,
area code management and forbidden numbers. All of them require admin.
4.1.6.1 Replace Rule
A replace rule is a dial plan item which enables automatic replacement of a digit string
by another. For example if you set the Prefix as 0 and Replace as 0033 (France country
code), when you dial 0670200030 out, the number will be replaced by 0033670200030
automatically.
