The sequence of steps in placing a call are as follows:
1. The caller dials 59111.
2. PBX A connects to Node 1 Port 4, and the caller hears a dial tone.
3. The caller dials 2559333.
4. Node 1 translates speed dial number 25 to long digits 000215, conn ects to PBX B

Variable-L engt h Di ali ng
The SmartSwitch 1800 supports variable length dialing using the Dial Timer parameter
in Voice Por t configuration (page 13-8). Variable-length dialing allows the user to
place a call without entering the configured number of digits for the speed dial
number. Variable-length dialing can be disabled by setting the Dial Timer to zero.
When this parameter is set to a value greater than zero, the timer is started when the
SmartSwitch receives the first dial digit from the attached equipment and the digit is
not the long-form calling Long Dial Prefix (also configured in the Voice Port record).
If the timer decrements to zero with no new digit entries, the SmartSwitch will assume
that dialing is c omplete, and will pad the digit entries with lead ing zeros to the length
of the configured Dial Digi t s (see page 13-3). For example, if the configured number
of dial digits is four, and the user enters 33 and lets the dial tim er expire, the 33 will be
converted to 0033. This number will then be used to perform a look-up in the map
table, rather than the SmartSwitch using the actual digits dialed by the user.
Note that regardless of the Dial Timer setting, the following conditions and configura-
tions will disable variable-length dialing:
1. Long-call-format dialing is being used. The SmartSwitch 180 0 assumes this
format is being used if the first digit dialed is the character configured for Long
Call Prefix.
