Prerequisites
•
Ensure that your dial plans adhere to the following:
–
They are written with the understanding that rules are matched from start to finish with the
longest matching rule taken as the one to use. Matches against a period are not counted as part
of the longest length.
–
They are in XML format.
–
They are stored on your TFTP server.
•
Specify which dial plan a phone is to use by specifying the path to the dial plan in the dial_template
parameter. Define the dial_template parameter in either the default configuration file or a
phone-specific configuration file.
Note
To simplify maintenance and control, define this parameter in the default configuration file.
Define it in a phone-specific configuration file only if that phone needs to use a different dial
plan than the one being used by the other phones in the same system.
Procedure
Step 1
Using an ASCII text editor such as vi, open a new file.
Step 2
Type the following to indicate the start of the dial-plan template:
<DIALTEMPLATE>
Step 3
For each of the numbering schemes that you require, add the following string to the template, each
starting on a separate line:
TEMPLATE MATCH=”
pattern
” Timeout=”
sec
” User=”
type
” Rewrite=”
xxx
” Route=”route” Tone=”
tone
”
Arguments are as follows:
Argument
Description
TEMPLATE MATCH=“
pattern”
Dial-pattern string to match. You can use the following wildcards:
•
A period (.) matches any character.
•
An asterisk (*) matches one or more characters.
•
A comma (,) causes the phone to generate a secondary dial tone.
Timeout=“
sec”
Time, in seconds, before the system times out and dials the number
as entered by the user. To have the number dial immediately,
specify 0.
User=“
type”
Tag to be added automatically to the dialed number. Valid values are
IP and Phone. This tag is not case sensitive.
