53 Dialing Plan Notation for Routing and
Manipulation
The device supports flexible dialing plan notations for denoting the prefix and/or suffix
source and/or destination numbers and SIP URI user names in the routing and
manipulation tables.
Table 53-1: Dialing Plan Notations for Prefixes and Suffixes
Notation Description
x (letter "x") Wildcard that denotes any single digit or character.
# (pound symbol)

When used at the end of a prefix, it denotes the end of a number. For
example,
54324# represents a 5-digit number that starts with the digits
54324.

When used anywhere else in the number (not at the end), it is part of the
number (pound key). For example,
3#45 represents the prefix number
3#45.

To denote the pound key when it appears at the end of the number, the
pound key must be enclosed in square brackets. For example, 134
[#]
represents any number that starts with 134#.
* (asterisk symbol)

When used on its own, it denotes any number or string.

When used as part of a number, it denotes the asterisk key. For example,
*345 represents a number that starts with *345.
$ (dollar sign) Denotes an empty prefix for incoming IP calls that do not have a user part in
the Request-URI, or for incoming Tel calls that do not have a called or calling
number. This is used for the following matching criteria:

Source and Destination Phone Prefix

Source and Destination Username

Source and Destination Calling Name Prefix
Range of Digits
Notes:

Dial plans denoting a prefix that is a range must be enclosed in square brackets, e.g., [4-8] or
23xx[456] .

Dial plans denoting a prefix that is not a range is not enclosed, e.g., 12345# .

Dial plans denoting a suffix must be enclosed in parenthesis, e.g., (4) and (4-8) .

Dial plans denoting a suffix that include multiple ranges, the range must be enclosed in square
brackets, e.g.,
(23xx[4,5,6]) .

An example for entering a combined prefix and suffix dial plan - assume you want to match a rule
whose destination phone prefix is 4 to 8, and suffix is 234, 235, or 236. The entered value would
be the following:
[4-8](23[4,5,6]) .
[n-m] or (n-m) Represents a range of numbers.
