DigitMapping = 11xS|00[1-
7]xxx|8xxxxxxx|#xxxxxxx|*xx|91xxxxxxxxxx|9011x|xx.T
In the example, the rule "00[1-7]xxx" denotes dialed numbers that begin with 00, and then
any digit from 1 through 7, followed by three digits (of any number). Once the device
receives these digits, it does not wait for additional digits, but starts sending the collected
digits (dialed number) immediately.

External Dial Plan File

The device allows you to select a specific Dial Plan (index) defined in an external Dial Plan
file. This file is loaded to the device as a *.dat file (binary file), converted from an ini file
using the DConvert utility. This file can include up to eight Dial Plans (Dial Plan indices),
with a total of up to 8,000 dialing rules (lines). The required Dial Plan is selected using the
DialPlanIndex parameter. This parameter can use values 0 through 7, where 0 denotes
PLAN1, 1 denotes PLAN2, and so on. The Dial Plan index can be configured globally or
per Tel Profile.
The format of the Dial Plan index file is as follows:

A name in square brackets ("[...]") on a separate line indicates the beginning of a new
Dial Plan index.

Every line under the Dial Plan index defines a dialing prefix and the number of digits
expected to follow that prefix. The prefix is separated by a comma (",") from the
number of additional digits.

The prefix can include numerical ranges in the format [x-y], as well as multiple
numerical ranges [n-m][x-y] (no comma between them).

The prefix can include asterisks ("*") and number signs ("#").

The number of additional digits can include a numerical range in the format x-y.

Empty lines and lines beginning with a semicolon (";") are ignored.
Version 6.2
•
If you want the device to accept/dial any number, ensure that the digit
map contains the rule "xx.T"; otherwise, dialed numbers not defined in
the digit map are rejected.
•
If you are using an external Dial Plan file for dialing plans (see ''External
Dial Plan File'' on page 271), the device first attempts to locate a
matching digit pattern in the Dial Plan file, and if not found, then attempts
to locate a matching digit pattern in the Digit Map (configured by the
DigitMapping parameter).
•
It may be useful to configure both Dial Plan file and Digit Maps. For
example, the Digit Map can be used for complex digit patterns (which are
not supported by the Dial Plan) and the Dial Plan can be used for long
lists of relatively simple digit patterns. In addition, as timeout between
digits is not supported by the Dial Plan, the Digit Map can be used to
define digit patterns (MaxDigits parameter) that are shorter than those
defined in the Dial Plan, or left at default. For example, "xx.T" Digit Map
instructs the device to use the Dial Plan and if no matching digit pattern,
it waits for two more digits and then after a timeout (TimeBetweenDigits
parameter), it sends the collected digits. Therefore, this ensures that calls
are not rejected as a result of their digit pattern not been completed in the
Dial Plan.
