Setting the Dialing Rules

© Polycom, Inc.
If your system is connected to your organization's private network and also to a
public network, you may need to specify the codes and prefixes necessary for
dialing other systems. If your system is connected only to a public network, you
do not need to enter any dialing rules.
When you define dialing rules, your system's Directory can display dialing
information about other videoconferencing systems correctly, including all of the
numbers, area codes, country codes, and international dialing access codes
necessary for making calls from this system. For example, if your system is in
Melbourne, the Directory displays the correct numbers and codes for dialing
systems in Paris, New York, and Cape Town, just as they should be dialed from
Melbourne.

your extension has 5 digits.
