device repeatedly plays this cadence for the configured duration. Similarly, a continuous
tone can be played by repeating only part of it.

39.1.3 CAS Files

The CAS auxiliary files contain the CAS Protocol definitions that are used for CAS-
terminated trunks. You can use the supplied files or construct your own files. Up to eight
files can be loaded to the device. Different files can be assigned to different trunks
(CASTableIndex_x) and different CAS tables can be assigned to different B-channels
(CASChannelIndex).
The CAS files can be loaded to the device using the Web interface or ini file (see ''Loading
Auxiliary Files'' on page 575).
Note: All CAS files loaded together must belong to the same Trunk Type (i.e., either
E1 or T1).

39.1.4 Dial Plan File

The Dial Plan file can be used for various digit mapping features, as described in this
section.

39.1.4.1 Creating a Dial Plan File

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 575.
5. Select the Dial Plan index that you want to use. This depends on the feature and is
described in the respective section.
