Examples for the Dial Plan Timer
Allow more time for users to start dialing after taking a phone off hook:
(P9 | (9,8<:1408>[2-9]xxxxxx | 9,8,1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 9,8,011xx. | 9,8,xx.|[1-8]xx)
P9 means that after taking a phone off hook, a user has 9 seconds to begin dialing. If no digits are pressed
within 9 seconds, the user hears a reorder (fast busy) tone. By setting a longer timer, you allow more time for
users to enter digits.
To create a hotline for all sequences on the System Dial Plan:
(P9<:23> | (9,8<:1408>[2-9]xxxxxx | 9,8,1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 9,8,011xx. | 9,8,xx.|[1-8]xx)
P9<:23> means that after taking the phone off hook, a user has 9 seconds to begin dialing. If no digits are
pressed within 9 seconds, the call is transmitted automatically to extension 23.
To create a hotline on a line button for an extension:
(P0 <:1000>)
With the timer set to 0 seconds, the call is transmitted automatically to the specified extension when the phone
goes off hook. Enter this sequence in the Phone Dial Plan for Ext 2 or higher on a client phone.

Interdigit Long Timer (Incomplete Entry Timer)

You can think of this timer as the incomplete entry timer. This timer measures the interval between dialed
digits. It applies as long as the dialed digits do not match any digit sequences in the dial plan. Unless the user
enters another digit within the specified number of seconds, the entry is evaluated as incomplete, and the call
is rejected. The default value is 10 seconds.
This section explains how to edit a timer as part of a dial plan. Alternatively, you can modify the Control
Timer that controls the default interdigit timers for all calls.
