IP Telephony System

Entries include the following:

•Individual characters include 0 to 9, *, #.

•The letter x matches any single number from 0 to 9.

•A subset of keys within brackets represents a range: [set]. For example, [389] means 3 or 8 or 9

•A numeric range is allowed within the brackets: [digit-digit]. For example, [2-9] means 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.

•A range can be combined with other keys.

For example, [235-8*] means, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, or *.

These are the rules for the entries:

•Any key can be repeated zero or more times by adding a . (period) to the end. For example, 01. matches 0, 01, 011, 0111...

•A sub-sequence of keys, which can be empty, can be automatically replaced with a different sub-sequence using an angled bracket notation: <dialed-sub-sequence:transmitted-sub-sequence>.

For example, 8:1650.xxxxxxx matches 85551212 and transmits 16505551212.

•An outside line dial tone can be generated within a sequence by adding a , (comma) between digits.

For example, 9,1xxxxxxxxxx sounds an outside line dial tone after the caller presses 9, until the 1 is pressed.

•A sequence can be barred or rejected by placing an ! (exclamation mark) at the end of the sequence. For example, 1900xxxxxxx! automatically blocks all 900 area code numbers from being dialed.

Here are some examples of dial plans:

(1xxxxxxxxxx) - This dial plan accepts only US-style 1 + area code + local number, with no restrictions on the area code and number.

(1xxxxxxxxxx,<:1212>xxxxxxx) - This dial plan allows US-style, 7-digit dialing and automatically inserts a 1 + 212 (local area code) in the transmitted number.

(<9,:>1xxxxxxxxxx<8,:1212>xxxxxxx) - This dial plan requires a caller to dial 8 as a prefix for local calls and 9 as a prefix for long distance. In either case, an outside line tone is played after the initial 8 or 9, and neither prefix is transmitted when the call is initiated.
