You can use the dial patterns to change which calls are sent via VoIP, and which are sent to the PSTN. For example, you might want to send all local calls via the PSTN, because these might be free on your PSTN line.

You might also want to tailor the dial patterns to precisely reflect the format of telephone numbers in your location. For example, the default configuration recognizes that a local number might be from 5 to 10 digits long. If local numbers are always 8 digits, this means that the VoIP Subsystem will wait a few seconds after the 8th digit has been dialed, to see if any digits follow. You could redefine the local dial string always to expect 8 digits, and to immediately send the number to the service provider once someone had dialed 8 digits.

Dial Pattern Parameters

Parameter

Description

Separates patterns.

 

 

Any DTMF char

Literal list of one or more DTMF characters to match in the order shown, and in

or chars

the position indicated within the pattern.

x

Match any numerical digit (0-9)

 

 

~

Match any digit (0-9, A-D, *, #) excluding any specified terminators

 

 

[]

Selection group of candidate digits. This group can contain any number of

 

DTMF characters, any of which are considered a match.

[^]

Exclusion group of digits. If any DTMF character occurs at this point in the dial

 

string which matches the exclusion digits listed after the carat, the dialed string

 

fails the match test with this pattern.

[0-9]

Selection range of candidate numerical digits

 

 

[a-d]

Selection range of candidate letter digits

 

 

r

Repeat operator. Syntax r n p, where r is the repeat operator, n is the number

 

of repetitions, and p is the item that is repeated. n can be 1-9 repetitions, letters

 

a-z for 10 to 35 repetitions or * (asterisk), + (plus sign) or . (period) to mean

 

repeat until the person stops dialing.

.(period)

Repeat the previous digit until the person stops dialing.

 

 

+

Repeat the previous digit until the person stops dialing.

 

 

!

Disallows pattern. This element can prevent users from dialing numbers or

 

classes of numbers.

$

Indicates secondary dialing to follow - used only by fixed dial strings.

 

 

<:>

Replace group: replace digits to the left of the colon with those to the right.

 

 

s

Seize on string as only candidate if dialed digits match to this point.

 

 

e

Specify ending termination digit which follows (usually * or #). When the user

 

dials the ending termination digit, the VoIP Subsystem considers the dial string

 

complete, and immediately sends to the service provider the digits up to the

 

termination character.

f

Pause timeout causes failure instead of dial.

 

 

p

Pause Operator. Syntax p n, where n is the time in seconds to allow between

 

digits dialed. If this time is exceeded, the dialing is considered to have timed

 

out, and the person to have stopped dialing.
