Setting the dial plan on SIP Deskphones

Note:
This section only applies to operations with a secondary controller where CM/
Note:
SES/PPM or SM/PPM are not available.
In a failover situation, the dial plan is played locally even if a proxy connection is
not available; the user may hear a dial tone but cannot make a call.
During manual dialing, a dial plan allows a call to be initiated without using a Send button and
without waiting for the expiration of a timeout interval. The dial plan consists of one or more
format strings. When the dialed digits match a format string in the DIALPLAN configuration
parameter, the call is initiated. (In an Avaya/SES or SM environment, PPM retrieves the
equivalent dial plan information in another format, thus the dial plan information from CM).
Valid characters in a format string, and their meanings, are as follows:
digits 0 through 9, inclusive = Specific dialpad digits
* = the dialpad character *
# = the dialpad character # (but only if it is the first character in the dialed string – see below)
x = any dialpad digit (i.e., 0-9)
Z or z = present dial tone to the user (for example, for Feature Access Code (FAC) entry)
[ ] = any one character within the brackets is a valid match for a dial plan string
- = any one digit between the bounds within the brackets, inclusive, is a match
+ = the character following the + can repeat 0 or more additional times, for a valid match
An individual valid dial plan is any combination of the above characters. If there are multiple
valid dial plans, separate each one from the next using an OR symbol ("|"). If the dial plan text
string begins or ends with an OR symbol, that symbol is ignored. Users cannot modify the dial
plan.
Dial plan example:
"[2-4]xxx|[68]xxx|*xx|9Z1xxxxxxxxxx|9z011x+"
where:
[2-4]xxx: Four-digit dial extensions, with valid extensions starting with 2, 3, or 4;
[68]xxx: Four-digit dial extensions, with valid extensions starting with 6 or 8;
*xx: Two-digit Feature Access Codes, preceded by a *;
9Z1xxxxxxxxxx: Network Access Code ("9 for an outside line"), followed by dial tone,
followed by any string of 10 digits– typical instance of Automatic Route Selection (ARS) for
standard US long distance number;
9z011x+: Network Access Code ("9 for an outside line"), followed by dial tone, followed by
at least one digit – typical instance of Automatic Route Selection (ARS) for US access to
international numbers of unknown, and variable, length.
Additional parameters that affect dialing are as follows:
COUNTRY - Country of operation for specific dial tone generation.
