Configuring Dial Plans
•
Create a hotline for all sequences on the System Dial Plan
EXAMPLE:
(
P9<:23>
| (9,8<:1408>[2-9]xxxxxx | 9,8,1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 9,8,011xx. |
9,8,xx.|[1-8]xx)
P9<:23>
After taking the phone off hook, a user has 9 seconds to begin dialing. If no
digits are pressed within 9 seconds, the call is transmitted automatically to extension 23.
•
Create a hotline on a line button for an extension
EXAMPLE:
( P0 <:1000>)
With the timer set to 0 seconds, the call is transmitted automatically to the specified
extension when the phone goes off hook. Enter this sequence in the Phone Dial Plan for
Ext 2 or higher on a client station.
Interdigit Long Timer (Incomplete Entry Timer)
You can think of this timer as the “incomplete entry” timer. This timer measures the interval
between dialed digits. It applies as long as the dialed digits do not match any digit sequences
in the dial plan. Unless the user enters another digit within the specified number of seconds,
the entry is evaluated as incomplete, and the call is rejected. The default value is 10 seconds.
Note
This section explains how to edit a timer as part of a dial plan.
Alternatively, you can modify the Control Timer that controls the default
interdigit timers for all calls. See
”Resetting the Control Timers,” on
page 56

Example for the Interdigit Long Timer
EXAMPLE:
L:15,
(9,8<:1408>[2-9]xxxxxx | 9,8,1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 9,8,011xx. | 9,8,xx.|[1-8]xx)
L:15,
This dial plan allows the user to pause for up to 15 seconds between digits before the
Interdigit Long Timer expires. This setting is especially helpful to users such as sales people,
who are reading the numbers from business cards and other printed materials while dialing.
