31.1.3 Dial Plan File
The Dial Plan file can be used for various digit mapping features, as described in this
section.
The creation and installation of the Dial Plan file is similar between all features and is
summarized in the procedure below. The main difference is the syntax used in the Dial
Plan file and the method for selecting the Dial Plan index that you want to use for the
specific feature.
The Dial Plan file is a text-based file that can contain up to eight Dial Plans (Dial Plan
indices) and up to 8,000 rules (lines) for the specific feature. The syntax rules for the Dial
Plan file is listed below (syntax specific to the feature is described in the respective
section):

Each new Dial Plan index must begin with a Dial Plan name enclosed in square
brackets "[...]" on a new line.

Each line under the Dial Plan index defines a rule.

Empty lines are ignored.

Lines beginning with a semicolon ";" are ignored. The semicolon can be used for
comments.
 To create a Dial Plan file:
1. Create a new file using a text-based editor (such as Notepad) and configure your Dial
Plans, as required.
2. Save the file with the ini file extension name (e.g., mydialplanfile.ini).
3. Convert the ini file to a dat binary file, using AudioCodes DConvert utility. For more
information, refer to DConvert Utility User's Guide.
4. Install the converted file on the device, as described in 'Loading Auxiliary Files' on
page 327.
5. Select the Dial Plan index that you want to use. This depends on the feature and is
described in the respective section.
31.1.3.1 External Dial Plan File
The device enables you to configure multiple dialing plans in an external Dial Plan file,
which can be installed on the device. If a Dial Plan file is implemented, the device first
attempts to locate a matching digit pattern in a specified Dial Plan index listed in the file
and if not found, attempts to locate a matching digit pattern in the Digit Map. The Digit Map
is configured by the 'Digit Mapping Rules' parameter, located in the DTMF & Dialing page
(Configuration tab > VoIP menu > GW and IP to IP > DTMF and Supplementary >
DTMF & Dialing).
The Dial Plan is used for the following:

FXS, and FXO collecting digit mode (Tel-to-IP calls): The file allows the device to
know when digit collection ends, after which it starts sending all the collected (or
dialed) digits in the outgoing INVITE message. This also provides enhanced digit
mapping.
The Dial Plan file can contain up to eight Dial Plans (Dial Plan indices), with a total of up to
8,000 dialing rules (lines) of distinct prefixes (e.g. area codes, international telephone
number patterns) for the PSTN to which the device is connected.
The Dial Plan file is created in a textual ini file with the following syntax:
<called number prefix>,<total digits to wait before sending>

Each new Dial Plan index begins with a Dial Plan name enclosed in square brackets
"[...]" on a new line.

Each line under the Dial Plan index defines a dialing prefix and the number of digits
