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
