External Dial Plan File - AudioCodes Mediant 2000 User Manual

18.6.2 External Dial Plan File

The device allows you to select a specific Dial Plan (index) defined in an external Dial Plan
file. This file is loaded to the device as a .dat file (binary file), converted from an ini file
using the DConvert utility. This file can include up to eight Dial Plans (Dial Plan indices),
with a total of up to 8,000 dialing rules (lines). The required Dial Plan is selected using the
DialPlanIndex parameter. This parameter can use values 0 through 7, where 0 denotes
PLAN1, 1 denotes PLAN2, and so on. The Dial Plan index can be configured globally or
per Tel Profile.
The format of the Dial Plan index file is as follows:

A name in square brackets ("[...]") on a separate line indicates the beginning of a new
Dial Plan index.

Every line under the Dial Plan index defines a dialing prefix and the number of digits
expected to follow that prefix. The prefix is separated by a comma (",") from the
number of additional digits.

The prefix can include numerical ranges in the format [x-y], as well as multiple
numerical ranges [n-m][x-y] (no comma between them).

The prefix can include asterisks ("*") and number signs ("#").

The number of additional digits can include a numerical range in the format x-y.

Empty lines and lines beginning with a semicolon (";") are ignored.
An example of a Dial Plan file with indices (in ini-file format before conversion to binary
.dat) is shown below:
