Multi-Stage Dialing
The Multi-stage Dialing feature is used where numbers dialed by users need to be modified, broken into parts, and
dialed out in various stages of the call. This feature is typically used in applications like Calling Card, where users
are required to dial digits in stages when making a call using a calling card.
Another application where Multi-stage Dialing is used is when SIMADO GFX11 is used as a gateway to connect a
PCO and a PBX for GSM-Fixed line network connectivity.
Let us understand how this feature works in such applications with the help of examples.
Example 1: Multi-stage Dialing in Virtual Calling Card application
A typical example of Multi-Stage Dialing is the use of prepaid Calling Cards. Here, the person using a calling card
must dial a fixed number string before dialing the actual number. When using a calling card,
•
Users must first dial the number of the Calling Card server, for example:
160223
.
•
After the call is answered by the Calling Card server, users must dial the PIN provided by the calling card
service provider, for example
113212
.
Some service providers also prompt the users to select a language before navigating further in the menu.
•
After dialing the PIN number, users can dial the number they want to call, for example
0014125126508
.
Thus, when using a calling card, users must dial a very lengthy number string, each time they need to make a call
using the calling card.
The use of Multi-Stage Dialing saves the time and effort of dialing out lengthy digits in stages. Here, the user dials
only the end destination number and the system dials out the calling card number, password and any other prefixes
that need to be dialed.
To use this feature for the Calling Card application, you must first do the following:
•
Configure the Calling Card Server Number string at an Index in the
Calling Card Services Number table
.
In this example, it is 160223.
The Calling Card Service Number table would be configured as follows
:
•
Configure the Calling Card Password (PIN) provided by the service provider at an Index in
the Calling
Card Password table
. In this example, it is 113212. The Calling Card Password table would be configured
as follows
:
Number Index Calling Card Number Services Number String
1
160223
2
Number Index Calling Card Password String
