7.2.10 Enforcing en-bloc dialling
Since your gateway supports continuous digit-by-digit suffix dialling, no specific
dial digit is required to complete the dialled number. This behaviour resembles
that of customary PBXs.
So called
Overlapped sending
is however not supported by all H.323-compati-
ble devices. When a call is set up to such a gateway, it will not able to process the
suffix dial code and the call will fail.
In such a case, a hash (
#
) can be added to the dial prefix for a route. In this case,
the gateway waits until the user has dialled a hash before setting up the call to
the remote gateway. The hash itself and any digits subsequently dialled are not
transmitted to the remote gateway.
If there is always a fixed number of digits required to complete the call number
for this route (e.g. always 3-digit extensions), a corresponding number of full-
stops (
.
) can be added to the dial prefix. The gateway expects a digit to follow
each full-stop and then carries out the call without a hash having to be dialled.
Any digits subsequently dialled are not transmitted to the remote gateway.
The
Force en-bloc dialling
checkbox can also be ticked in the appropriate
map
entry if the number of digits required to complete the call is not constant for this
route and if dialling is not to be explicitly completed with a hash. If such a map
entry takes effect, the gateway collects the digits subsequently dialled until more
