How to Create Dial Plans

Dial plans enable the Cisco SIP IP phone to support automatic dialing and generation of a secondary dial
tone. If a single dial plan is used for a system of phones, the dial plan is best specified in the default
configuration file.
However, you can also create multiple dial plans and specify which phones are to use which dial plan by
defining the dial_template parameter in the phone-specific configuration file. If one phone in a system
of phones needs to use a different dial plan than the rest, you need to define a dial plan for that phone in
its phone-specific configuration file.
Special Characters
You can specify the pound sign (#) and asterisk (*) as dialed digits, if needed.
The # is processed as a "dial now" event by default. You can override this by specifying # in the dial-plan
template, in which case the phone does not dial immediately when the # is pressed but does continue to
match the dial-plan template that specifies the #. The # is not matched by the wildcard character * or the
period (.).
The * is processed as a wildcard character. You can override this by preceding the * with the backward
slash (\) escape sequence, resulting in the sequence \*. The phone automatically strips the \ so that it does
not appear in the outgoing dial string. When * is received as a dialed digit, it is matched by the wildcard
characters * and period (.).
You can also specify the comma (,) as a secondary dial tone, if needed, and you can set which tones are
played. Choose from the following tone names:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Tone names are case insensitive. All tone names should begin with a common prefix.
