Administering enhanced local dialing
Issue 3 January 2014 129
Enhanced Local Dialing feature. The key to the success of this feature is accurate
administration of several important values, summarized below.
The parameters relevant to the Enhanced Dialing Feature are:
● ENHDIALSTAT - Enhanced dialing status. If set to “1” the enhanced local dialing feature is
partially enabled, meaning dialing rules do not apply to dialing from the Contacts list. If set
to "2" the enhanced local dialing feature is fully enabled and does apply to dialing from the
Contacts list. If set to “0” enhanced local dialing is off.
● PHNCC - The international country code of the Communication Manager call server. For
example, “1” for the United States, “44” for the United Kingdom, and so on.
● PHNDPLENGTH - The length of the dial plan on the Communication Manager call server.
● PHNIC - The digits the Communication Manager call server dials to access public network
international trunks. For example, “011” for the United States.
● PHNLD - The digit dialed to access public network long distance trunks on the
Communication Manager call server.
● PHNLDLENGTH - The maximum length, in digits, of the national telephone number for the
country in which the Communication Manager call server is located.
● PHNOL - The character(s) dialed to access public network local trunks on the
Communication Manager call server.
Note:
Note: In all cases, the values you administer are the values relevant to the location of
the Communication Manager call server at which the deskphones are registered.
For example, If a deskphone is in Japan, but its Communication Manager call
server is in the United States, set the PHNCC parameter value to “1" for the
United States.
In all cases, the digits the deskphones insert and dial are subject to standard
Communication Manager call server features and administration. This includes
Class of Service (COS), Class of Restriction (COR), Automatic Route Selection
(ARS), and so on.
As indicated in , you can administer the system parameter ENHDIALSTAT to turn
off the Enhanced Local Dialing feature.
Example: A corporate voice network has a 4-digit dialing plan. The corporate WML Web site
lists a 4-digit number as a link on the Human Resources page. A 9621G user taps to select that
link. The 9621G deduces the number is a part of the corporate network because the extension
matches a dial plan element. The deskphone then dials the number without further processing.
