Emergency Dial Plan and Pattern Matching
The IP Phones support emergency dialing using pattern matching and prepend
dial plan functionality.
There are two ways to dial a number on the phone:
• dialing digit-by-digit (i.e., select line and dial)
• dialing by string (i.e., pre-dial then go off-hook)
When a user dials digit-by-digit, the phone adds every digit to a dialed string and
checks against the dial plan. If the phone is not locked, it checks against the
regular dial plan. If the phone is locked, it checks against the emergency dial plan.
When a user dials by string, (pre-dial, speed-dial, etc., and then goes off-hook),
and the phone is not locked, it checks to see if the number matches the emergency
dial plan. If it doesn't match, it blocks the call from going through. If the phone is
locked, and the number matches the emergency dial plan it allows the call to go
through.
Adding a pre-pend to a dial plan also works with both dialing digit-by-digit and
dialing by string.
