Appendix C: Dial Plan and
Overview
This appendix discusses the dial plan and
Configuring Dial Plans
The System allows each phone line to be configured with a distinct dial plan. The dial plan specifies how to interpret digit sequences dialed by the caller and how to convert those sequences into an outbound dial string.
The Dial Plan settings contain the actual dial plan scripts for the various lines. Each plan contains a series of digit sequences, separated by this character, . The collection of sequences is collected in parentheses, ‘ and ’.
When a caller dials a series of digits, each sequence in the dial plan is tested as a possible match. The matching sequences form a set of candidate digit sequences. As more digits are entered by the caller, the candidates are eliminated until only one or none is valid.
The following table describes the entries to use for the dial plan.
