The Cisco IP phones provides native support of a large set of enhanced or
supplementary services (also known as star codes). A user can enter star codes
(such as *21 for call forward, followed by the target number) to perform call
features such as call return, blind call transfers, call pickup, and so on. These
codes can be handled locally by the phone or to be sent to the network as an
INVITE to the service provider.

Entering Star Code Values

The phone provides default values for star codes. You can change the default star
code values for your area or region.
Description
Long timeout between entering digits when dialing. The interdigit
timer values are used as defaults when dialing. The
Long Timer is used after any one digit, if all valid matching
sequences in the dial plan are incomplete as dialed. Range: 0–64
seconds.
Setting this value high can result in a longer post dialing delay
(PDD), which is the time between the start of a call and the time
the phone starts ringing. A value that is too low can result in dialed
digits not being correctly recognized.
Defaults to 10.
Short timeout between entering digits when dialing. The
Short Timer
is used after any one digit, if at least one matching
sequence is complete as dialed, but more dialed digits would
match other as yet incomplete sequences. Range: 0–64 seconds.
Defaults to 3.
NOTE: Some service providers choose to
disable star codes. See
Supplementary Services (Star Codes)"
