This feature allows the user to create rules to make dialing easier. There are several different options
for dialing rules. The examples below will show how this can be used.
Example 1: All Substitution -- Assume that it is desired to place a direct IP call to IP address
172.168.2.208. Using this feature, 123 can be substituted for 172.168.2.208.
Example 2: Partial Substitution -- To dial a long-distance call to Beijing requires dialing area code 010
before the local phone number. Using this feature 1 can be substituted for 010. For example, to call
62213123 would only require dialing 162213123 instead of 01062213123.
Example 3: Addition -- Two examples are shown. In the first case, it is assumed that 0 must be dialed
before any 11-digit number beginning with 13. In the second case, it is assumed that 0 must be dialed
before any 11-digit number beginning with 135, 136, 137, 138, or 139. Two different special
characters are used.
x -- Matches any single digit that is dialed.
[] -- Specifies a range of numbers to be matched. It may be a range, a list of ranges separated by
commas, or a list of digits.
