  • Page 14: Modifying The Dial

    1.3 Modifying the Dial Plan The X5v or V3’s dial plan is defined by the dial plan string, which encodes a complete set of dial plan rules. A dial plan string with vertical bars separating the rules Each rule defines behavior for a particular dialing pattern. A dialing rule, or pattern, can define something like international dialing, local dialing, or dialing that invokes a service, like call forwarding.
  • Page 15 group: e.g., [135–7] matches 1, 3, 5, 6 or 7. Any numeric X or x signifies any of the digits [0–9]. digit Any digit but 0 N or n signifies any of the digits [2– or 1 Timeout The character following t specifies the timeout interval in seconds following the preceding event.

  • Page 17 operator rule 0 is also combined with this rule to reduce the number of separate rules. However, this is done at the cost of allowing the minimum number of digits to be just 1, following which incomplete numbers will be sent to the service provider if the user presses ‘#’, or after an IDT timeout.
  • Page 18 IDT is specified as f, or 15 seconds.) If just the three characters *72 are entered, the number to forward to will be taken from the entry in the relevant page of the X5v or V3 web page.
  • Page 19 18:*47;t4xt2># This is the rule for Peer-to-Peer dialing, which is dialing without the use of a SIP server or service. The user must have previously created an address book that associates single-digit speed-dial numbers with the SIP addresses of endpoints the user wishes to dial.
