Local Timer Overrides; Pause; Dial Plan Examples - Linksys 900 Series Administrator's Manual

Configuring a Dial Plan

Local Timer Overrides

The long and short timeout values can be changed for a particular sequence starting at a
particular point in the sequence. The syntax for long timer override is: "L
delay-value<space>". Note the terminating space character. The specified delay-value is
measured in seconds. Similarly, to change the short timer override, use: S delay-value<space>.

Pause

A sequence may require an explicit pause of some duration before continuing to dial digits, in
order for the sequence to match. The syntax for this is similar to the timer override syntax: P
delay-value <space>. The delay-value is measured in seconds.
This syntax allows for the implementation of Hot-Line and Warm-Line services. To achieve
this, one sequence in the plan must start with a pause, with a 0 delay for a Hot Line, and a
non-zero delay for a Warm Line.
Implicit Sequences
The 900 Series phone implicitly appends the vertical code sequences entered in the
administration web server Regional parameter settings to the end of the dial plan for both Line
1 and Line 2. Likewise, if <Enable_IP_Dialing> is enabled, IP dialing is also accepted on the
associated line.

Dial Plan Examples

The following dial plan accepts only US-style 1 + area-code + local-number, with no
restrictions on the area code and number:
( 1 xxx xxxxxxx )
The following also allows 7-digit US-style dialing, and automatically inserts a 1 + 212 (local
area code) in the transmitted number.
( 1 xxx xxxxxxx | <:1212> xxxxxxx )
For an office environment, the following plan requires a user to dial 8 as a prefix for local calls
and 9 as a prefix for long distance. In either case, an "outside line" tone is played after the
initial 8 or 9, and neither prefix is transmitted when initiating the call.
( <9,:> 1 xxx xxxxxxx | <8,:1212> xxxxxxx )
The following allows only placing international calls (011 call), with an arbitrary number of
digits past a required 5 digit minimum, and also allows calling an international call operator
(00). In addition, it lengthens the default short interdigit timeout to 4 seconds.
S:4, ( 00 | 011 xxxxx x. )
The following allows only US-style 1 + area-code + local-number, but disallows area codes and
local numbers starting with 0 or 1. It also allows 411, 911, and operator calls (0).
( 0 | [49]11 | 1 [2-9]xx [2-9]xxxxxx )
