Planning the System
Prepending the location prefix to dialed numbers

digits (specified on the Uniform Dial Plan screen) to the front of the dialed number. The switch
then analyzes the entire dialed string and routes the call based on the administration on the

Other options for the dial plan
You can establish a dial plan so that users only need to dial one digit to reach another
extension. You can also establish a dial plan that allows users to dial, for example, two digits to
reach one extension, and three digits to reach another. This is particularly useful in the
hospitality industry, where you want users to be able to simply dial a room number to reach
another guest.
Adding feature access codes
As your needs change, you may want to add a new set of FAC for your system. Before you can
assign a FAC on the Feature Access Code screen, it must conform to your dial plan.
In our example, if you want to assign a feature access code of 33 to Last Number Dialed, first
you need to add a new FAC range to the dial plan.
To add a FAC range from 30 to 39:
1. Type change dialplan analysis and press Enter.
The Dial Plan Analysis Table
2. Move the cursor to an empty row.
3. Type 3 in the Dialed String column. Press Tab to move to the next field.
