Interdigit Short Timer (Complete Entry Timer)

You can think of this timer as the "complete entry" timer. This timer measures the
interval between dialed digits. It applies when the dialed digits match at least one
digit sequence in the dial plan. Unless the user enters another digit within the
specified number of seconds, the entry is evaluated. If it is valid, the call proceeds.
If it is invalid, the call is rejected. The default value is 3 seconds.

Syntax for the Interdigit Short Timer

• SYNTAX 1: S:s, ( dial plan )
Use this syntax to apply the new setting to the entire dial plan within the
parentheses.
• SYNTAX 2: sequence Ss
Use this syntax to apply the new setting to a particular dialing sequence.
s: The number of seconds; if no number is entered after S, the default timer of 5
seconds applies.
Examples for the Interdigit Short Timer
• Set the timer for the entire dial plan.
EXAMPLE:
(9,8<:1408>[2-9]xxxxxx | 9,8,1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx |
S:6,
9,8,011xx. | 9,8,xx.|[1-8]xx)
While entering a number with the phone off hook, a user can pause for up
S:6,
to 15 seconds between digits before the Interdigit Short Timer expires. This
setting is especially helpful to users such as sales people, who are reading the
numbers from business cards and other printed materials while dialing.
• Set an instant timer for a particular sequence within the dial plan.
EXAMPLE: (9,8<:1408>[2-9]xxxxxx |
9,8,011xx. | 9,8,xx.|[1-8]xx)
9,8,1[2-9]xxxxxxxxxS0
when the user dials the final digit in the sequence.
With the timer set to 0, the call is transmitted automatically
9,8,1[2-9]xxxxxxxxxS0
