Interdigit Long Timer (Incomplete Entry Timer) - Cisco 8851 Administration Manual

Dial Plan
P9<:23> means that after taking the phone off hook, a user has 9 seconds to begin dialing. If no digits are
pressed within 9 seconds, the call is transmitted automatically to extension 23.
To create a hotline on a line button for an extension:
(P0 <:1000>)
With the timer set to 0 seconds, the call is transmitted automatically to the specified extension when the phone
goes off hook. Enter this sequence in the Phone Dial Plan for Ext 2 or higher on a client phone.

Interdigit Long Timer (Incomplete Entry Timer)

You can think of this timer as the incomplete entry timer. This timer measures the interval between dialed
digits. It applies as long as the dialed digits do not match any digit sequences in the dial plan. Unless the user
enters another digit within the specified number of seconds, the entry is evaluated as incomplete, and the call
is rejected. The default value is 10 seconds.
This section explains how to edit a timer as part of a dial plan. Alternatively, you can modify the Control
Timer that controls the default interdigit timers for all calls.
Syntax for the Interdigit Long Timer
SYNTAX: L:s, (dial plan)
• s: The number of seconds; if no number is entered after L:, the default timer is 5 seconds. With the timer
set to 0 seconds, the call is transmitted automatically to the specified extension when the phone goes off
hook.
• Note that the timer sequence appears to the left of the initial parenthesis for the dial plan.
Example for the Interdigit Long Timer
L:15, (9,8<:1408>[2-9]xxxxxx | 9,8,1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 9,8,011xx. | 9,8,xx.|[1-8]xx)
L:15 means that this dial plan allows the user to pause for up to 15 seconds between digits before the Interdigit
Long Timer expires. This setting is especially helpful to users such as sales people, who are reading the
numbers from business cards and other printed materials while dialing.
Interdigit Short Timer (Complete Entry Timer)
You can think of this timer as the complete entry timer. This timer measures the interval between dialed digits.
The timer applies when the dialed digits match at least one digit sequence in the dial plan. Unless the user
enters another digit within the specified number of seconds, the entry is evaluated. If the entry is valid, the
call proceeds. If the entry is invalid, the call is rejected.
Default: 3 seconds.
Syntax for the Interdigit Short Timer
SYNTAX 1: S:s, (dial plan)
Use this syntax to apply the new setting to the entire dial plan within the parentheses.
SYNTAX 2: sequence Ss
Use this syntax to apply the new setting to a particular dialing sequence.
s: The number of seconds; if no number is entered after S, the default timer of 5 seconds applies.
