B  Dialing Plan Notation for Routing and 
Manipulation 
The device supports flexible dialing plan notations for denoting  the prefix and/or suffix 
source and/or destination numbers and  SIP URI user names in the routing and 
manipulation tables.  
Table  B-1: Dialing Plan Notations for Prefixes and Suffixes 
Notation  Description 
x (letter "x")  Denotes any single digit. 
# (pound symbol)  When used at the end of a prefix, it denotes the end of a number. For 
example, 54324xx# represents a 7-digit number that starts with the digits 
54324. 
When used anywhere in the suffix, it is part of the number. For example, 
(3#45) can represent the number string, 123#45. 
* (asterisk symbol)  When used in the prefix, it denotes any number. When used in the suffix, it 
is part of the number. For example, (3*45) can represent the number string, 
123*45. 
Range of Digits 
Notes: 
  Dial plans denoting a prefix that is a range must be enclosed in square brackets, e.g., [4-8] or 
23xx[456].  
  Dial plans denoting a prefix that is not a range is not enclosed, e.g., 12345#. 
  Dial plans denoting a suffix must be enclosed in parenthesis, e.g., (4) and (4-8). 
  Dial plans denoting a suffix that include multiple ranges, the range must be enclosed in square 
brackets, e.g., (23xx[4,5,6]). 
  An example for entering a combined prefix and suffix dial plan - assume you want to match a rule 
whose destination phone prefix is 4 to 8, and suffix is 234, 235, or 236. The entered value would 
be the following: [4-8](23[4,5,6]).    
[n-m] or (n-m)  Represents a range of numbers. For example: 
  To denote numbers from 5551200 to 5551300: 
  Prefix: [5551200-5551300]# 
  Suffix: (5551200-5551300) 
  To denote numbers from 123100 to 123200: 
  Prefix: 123[100-200] 
  Suffix: (123[100-200]) 
  To denote prefix and suffix numbers together: 
  03(100): for any number that starts with 03 and ends with 100.  
  [100-199](100,101,105): for a number that starts with 100 to 199 and 
ends with 100, 101 or 105.   
  03(abc): for any number that starts with 03  and ends with abc. 
  03(5xx): for any number that starts with 03 and ends with 5xx. 
  03(400,401,405): for any number that starts with 03 and ends with 
400 or 401 or 405. 
 
Notes: 
  The value n must be less than the value m. 
  Only numerical ranges are supported (not alphabetical letters). 
  For suffix ranges, the starting (n) and ending (m) numbers in the range
