Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for
Advanced Users

Overview

This appendix discusses the dial plan and auto-attendant (aa) features of the System. It also explains how to
configure and write scripts for both features.

Configuring Dial Plans

The System allows each phone line to be configured with a distinct dial plan. The dial plan specifies how to
interpret digit sequences dialed by the caller and how to convert those sequences into an outbound dial string.
The Dial Plan settings contain the actual dial plan scripts for the various lines. Each plan contains a series of digit
sequences, separated by this character, | . The collection of sequences is collected in parentheses, ' and '.
When a caller dials a series of digits, each sequence in the dial plan is tested as a possible match. The matching
sequences form a set of candidate digit sequences. As more digits are entered by the caller, the candidates are
eliminated until only one or none is valid.
The following table describes the entries to use for the dial plan.
Table 1: Dial Plan Entries
