Canonical Dialing Configuration

Call numbers taken from a directory application, LDAP for instance, are mostly expressed in
canonical format. Moreover, call numbers entered into the local phone book are automatically
converted and stored in canonical format, thereby adding "+", Local country code, Local na-
tional code, and Local enterprise number as prefixes. If, for instance, the user enters the ex-
tension "1234", the local country code is "49", the local national code is "89", and the local en-
terprise number is "722", the resulting number in canonical format is "+49897221234".
For generating an appropiate dial string, a conversion from canonical format to a different for-
mat may be required. The following parameters determine the local settings of the phone, like
Local country code or Local national code, and define rules for converting from canonical
format to the format required by the PBX.
To enable the number conversion, all parameters not marked as optional must be
>
provided, and the canonical dial lookup settings must be configured (see Section
3.8.2, "Canonical Dial Lookup").
