Chapter 4: System Configuration

Parameter	Description
DID Number	The number of digits needed to match a DID (Direct Inward Dialing)
Length	number. The range is from 2 - 16.
	Each extension can be assigned a DID number. A DID number does
	not have a fixed length. For example, suppose the DID number
	length is 4 and the extension DID number is 2522999. Depending
	on the service contract with the Central Office (CO), the DID trunk
	can send all 7 digits (2522999) or just the last 4 digits (2999). If the
	DID Number Length option is set to 4, the system always tries to
	match the last 4 digits received to the last 4 digits of a DID number,
	regardless of what is received.
	Note: To accommodate future growth and minimize disturbance, it
	is recommended that the length of the DID numbers assigned to an
	extension be greater than or equal to this DID Number Length.
Dialed Digit	This feature is capable of intercepting and manipulating a dialed
Translator	digit string before it is sent out for outbound call processing.
	To set up a dialed digit translator entry, check the Enable checkbox
	and click the Setup key. This opens a dialog box where you can
	select First Digit Translator or Extension Dialed Digit
	Translator.
	This feature supersedes the first digit assignment of the system
	number plan. When configured, any extension user can dial a single
	DTMF digit that will be translated to any internal or external
	number. After digit manipulation, the translated digits go through
	the system number plan to find the internal or external target. For
	example, you can configure “*” to call an internal workgroup to
	report an urgent situation.
	Typical applications are:
	• One-digit emergency dialing
	• One-digit dialing to branch or headquarters over PSTN or VoIP
	• One-digit dialing to activate a feature code
