Configuring Patterns (USERS)Patterns are used by the VCX call processor to route calls to the correct
destination. For example, in a multi-site VCX system, you can create a dial
rule for each region that includes a site prefix. You then create a pattern
based on the site prefix and create a route plan that associates the
pattern with a route to a specific call processor. See Route Plan
Configuration Requirements for more information.
Timeout Specify the number of seconds that the phone will
wait for another digit to be dialed before it places the
call.
The default timeout is 5 seconds.
Pattern Specify the pattern used by this dial rule. A pattern is
a pre-defined dial string prefix.
A pattern can be used as a site ID that indicates which
regional or branch call processor should receive a call.
When a dialed string of numbers includes the
configured pattern and meets the minimum and
maximum string length, the phone’s call processor
routes the call to the correct destination.
