Configuring Dial Plans
Configuring Phone Lines and Calling Routing Behavior
[sequence]
Enter characters within square brackets to create a list of
accepted key presses. The user can press any one of the keys
in the list.
• Numeric range
For example, you would enter
[2-9] to allow the user to
press any one digit from 2 through 9.
• Numeric range with other characters
For example, you would enter
[35-8*] to allow the user to
press 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, or *.
.
(period)
Enter a period for element repetition. The dial plan accepts 0
or more entries of the digit. For example,
01. allows users to
enter 0, 01, 011, 0111, and so on.
<dialed:substituted>
Use this format to indicate that certain dialed digits are
replaced by other characters when the sequence is
transmitted. The
dialed digits can be zero or more characters.
EXAMPLE 1:
<8:1650>xxxxxxx
When the user presses 8 followed by a seven-digit number,
the system automatically replaces the dialed 8 with 1650. If
the user dials 85550112, the system transmits
16505550112.
EXAMPLE 2:
<:1>xxxxxxxxxx
In this example, no digits are replaced. When the user enters
a 10-digit string of numbers, the number 1 is added at the
beginning of the sequence. If the user dials 9725550112,
the system transmits 19725550112
,
(comma)
Enter a comma between digits to play an “outside line” dial
tone after a user-entered sequence.
EXAMPLE:
9, 1xxxxxxxxxx
An “outside line” dial tone is sounded after the user presses
9, and the tone continues until the user presses 1.
!
(exclamation point)
Enter an exclamation point to prohibit a dial sequence
pattern.
EXAMPLE:
1900xxxxxxx!
The system rejects any 11-digit sequence that begins with
1900.
*xx
Enter an asterisk to allow the user to enter a 2-digit star code.
S0
Enter S0 to reduce the timer to 0 so that the dialed digits are
evaluated after 0 seconds.
For more information about modifying the timers for the
evaluation of dialed digits, see ”Setting the Timers for the
Dial Plan,” on page 59.
