B.2 How the Input Is Processed
Comparing Input to the Dialing Plan Patterns
The input is compared to each dialing plan in turn, starting with the first listed account. The process is slightly
different depending on how the call is placed:
• If the input was dragged or selected, then the entire input is compared to each dialing plan. If a complete
match is found, then that account is selected and the associated transformation is performed. If no match is
found, the default account is selected and no transformation is performed.
• If you are typing the input, the digits are compared one by one as they are entered. The comparison will result
in one of the types of matches described in the table below.
It is possible for the same input to get matched to different dialing plans depending on whether the input is
entered on the fly or dragged. It is important to keep this in mind when designing dialing plan patterns.
