Dialing Rules

Use dialing rules to modify or block outbound fax numbers before sending a fax. This feature allows you to add
prefixes or suffixes to an outbound number, setup local or long distance dialing codes, set different rules for
different modems and create a blacklist.

Dialing Rules Lists

A list is a set of dialing patterns and actions that are performed when number matches the pattern. Lists can be
linked to other lists and assigned to a modem. The default setting is none, meaning all numbers are accepted as is.

Components

Dialing rules consist of:
■
Order
■
Pattern
■
Action
■ Argument (the list name used for Go to or Return from List actions)
All outbound fax numbers are compared to rule patterns according to the list order. The rule actions is applied
when the fax number matches the pattern.

characters only: 0-9 X * # , . ! @ $ - [ ] < >{}
