Prefix tags (for IP-to-Tel routing): Provides enhanced routing rules based on Dial Plan
prefix tags. For more information, see Dial Plan Prefix Tags for IP-to-Tel Routing on
page 325.
The Dial Plan file is first created using a text-based editor (such as Notepad) and saved
with the file extension .ini. This ini file is then converted to a binary file (.dat) using the
DConvert utility (refer to the Product Reference Manual). Once converted, it can then be
loaded to the device using the Web interface (see 'Loading Auxiliary Files' on page 481).
The Dial Plan file must be prepared in a textual ini file with the following syntax:

Every line in the file defines a known dialing prefix and the number of digits expected
to follow that prefix. The prefix must be separated from the number of additional digits
by a comma (',').

Empty lines are ignored.

Lines beginning with a semicolon (';') are ignored.

Multiple dial plans may be specified in one file; a name in square brackets on a
separate line indicates the beginning of a new dial plan. Up to eight dial plans can be
defined.

Asterisks ('*') and number-signs ('#') can be specified as part of the prefix.

Numeric ranges are allowed in the prefix.

A numeric range is allowed in the number of additional digits.
Notes:
An example of a Dial Plan file in ini-file format (i.e., before converted to .dat) that contains
two dial plans is shown below:

•
The prefixes must not overlap. Attempting to process an overlapping
configuration by the DConvert utility results in an error message
specifying the problematic line.
