whether the dialed number is accepted or rejected. You can use a dial plan to facilitate dialing
or to block certain types of calls such as long distance or international.
This section includes information that you need to understand dial plans, as well as procedures
for configuring your own dial plans. This section includes the following topics:

Digit Sequences

collection of sequences is enclosed within parentheses. Each digit sequence within the dial
plan consists of a series of elements, which are individually matched to the keys that the user
presses.
