UDP Digit Absorption 3
Use this procedure to specify how many of the digits dialed (0 to 11) by the caller
should be absorbed (not sent over the trunk) by the system when a UDP call to a
non-local extension is made on an identified route. Therefore, if the number is
dialed without a pool access code or without using a Pool button, the dialed digits
correspond to the non-local dial plan numbering. Digit absorption can be used to
modify the digits that are actually sent to the remote system.
Entries of 1 through 11 indicate that the system should not send the specified
number of digits, starting with the first digit dialed by the user.
NOTES:
1. UDP pool routes must be programmed before you assign digit
absorption.
2. Do not use this procedure to overcome conflicts between local and
remote extension numbering. Such conflicts can result in numerous
problems with system features.
