Dial Plan Timer (Off-Hook Timer)

You can think of the Dial Plan Timer as "the off-hook timer." This timer starts
counting when the phone goes off hook. If no digits are dialed within the specified
number of seconds, the timer expires and the null entry is evaluated. Unless you
have a special dial plan string to allow a null entry, the call is rejected. Default
setting: 5
Syntax for the Dial Plan Timer
(Ps<:n> | dial plan )
• s: The number of seconds; if no number is entered after P, the default timer
of 5 seconds applies.
• n: (optional): The number to transmit automatically when the timer expires;
you can enter a valid number. No wildcard characters are allowed because
the number will be transmitted as shown. If you omit the number
substitution, <:n>, then the user hears a reorder (fast busy) tone after the
specified number of seconds.
Examples for the Dial Plan Timer
Red text is used to highlight the elements that are explained in the examples.
• 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 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 the
digits.
xx This code allows the entry of one or more digits. Do not use a single x,
Processing
• If the sequence is complete and is allowed by
the dial plan, the number is accepted and is
transmitted according to the dial plan.
• If the sequence is incomplete or is blocked by
the dial plan, the number is rejected.
