Configuring outbound dial plans

The Call Routing > Outbound > Outbound submenu lets you configure dial plans for outgoing
calls from the FortiVoice unit.
You can configure dial plans on the FortiVoice unit to route calls made from a FortiVoice
extension to an external phone system. The external phone system can be one or more PSTN
lines or a VoIP service provider. To route calls to an external phone system, you add dial plan
rules that define the extra digits that extension users must dial to call out of the FortiVoice unit.
The rules also control how the FortiVoice unit handles these calls including whether to block or
allow the call, the destinations the calls are routed to and whether to add digits to the beginning
of the dialed number.
For example, if users should be able to dial 911 for emergencies, you should include a dial plan
rule that sends all calls that begin with 911 to an external phone system. This rule should also
override the default outgoing prefix so that users can dial 911 without having to dial 9 first.
To view the outbound dial plans, go to Call Routing > Outbound > Outbound.
