Configuring dial plans

More requirements on dial plans arise with the wide application of VoIP. A desired dial plan should be
flexible, reasonable, and operable. Also it should be able to help a voice gateway to manage numbers
in a unified way, making number management more convenient and reasonable.
The dial plan process on the calling side differs from that on the called side. The following discusses these
two dial plan processes, respectively.

rules and replaces the calling and called numbers.
4. The gateway initiates a call to the called side and sends the calling and called numbers.
