Note:
only. For the new method, see Configuring Dial Plans on page 495.
The Dial Plan file is a text-based file that can contain up to 8 Dial Plans (Dial Plan indices)
and up to 8,000 rules (lines). The general syntax rules for the Dial Plan file are as follows
(syntax specific to the feature is described in the respective section):

Each Dial Plan index must begin with a Dial Plan name enclosed in square brackets
"[...]" on a new line.

Each line under the Dial Plan index defines a rule.

Empty lines are ignored.

Lines beginning with a semicolon ";" are ignored. The semicolon can be used for
comments.
Creating a Dial Plan file is similar for all Dial Plan features. The main difference is the
syntax used in the Dial Plan file and the method for selecting the Dial Plan index.

To create a Dial Plan file:
1. Create a new file using a text-based editor (such as Notepad) and configure your Dial
Plans as required.
2. Save the file with the ini file extension name (e.g., mydialplanfile.ini).
3. Convert the ini file to a dat binary file, using AudioCodes DConvert utility. For more
information, refer to DConvert Utility User's Guide.
4. Load the converted file to the device, as described in ''Loading Auxiliary Files'' on
page 569.
5. Select the Dial Plan index that you want to use. This depends on the feature and is
described in the respective section.
Note:
•
Only one Dial Plan file can be loaded to the device.
•
The Dial Plan file can only be loaded in .dat file format.
