First of all in the
Dial Rule Name
field specify a name to identify this dial rule.
In the
Time Rules
dropdown list, you may select a time condition for this dial rule, so this dial rule will only be available to be used
at business hours.
Prepend
option is used to always add specific digit/digits in front of the actual dialed number after the
Dial Prefix
is deleted.
These extra digits will be sent along with the actual number to the service provider to exchange. For example, if you want to
always add an area code in front of the dialed number, you can spcify the area code in front of the dialed number, you can specify
the area code here, otherwise leave this field blank.
Dial Prefix
is the first digit users have to dial while they want to make calls through the trunk/trunks selected in this dial rule. The
system will strip the prefix from the number that is sent to the trunk.
Dial Patterns
act like a filter for matching numbers dialed with trunks. The various patterns you can enter are similar to Asterisk's
definition of them:
X
— Refers to any digit between 0 and 9
N
— Refers to any digit between 2 and 9
Z
— Any digit that is not zero. (E.g. 1 to 9)
.
— Wildcard. Match any number of anything. Must match *something*.
Pin Set
is a collection of PIN codes for granting outbound phone calls.
Outbound CID
: Choose between Outbound CID1 and Outbound CID2 to send to the called party. When the extension user make
outbound phone calls by using this dial rule, the chosen outbound CID number will be used. So in the below
Selected Trunks
field
VoIP or E1/T1/BRI trunks need to be used, and the service provider need to support users passing outbound CIDs.
Call Time Limit
: The limited time of call conversation can be made while using this dial rule. The limitation can be set from 60 to
3600 seconds.
Call Method
sets how to use the selected trunks for outbound phone calls.
Linear
: Always take the first available trunk, if the first trunk is busy it will try the second trunk, if the second trunk is busy it
will try the third, and so on.
Linear Cycle
: Always take the next trunk, the trunk which the last had taken will not be used, it will call out through the next
one directly.
Double click one of the trunks or drag-and-drop to move the trunks from
Available Trunks
field to
Selected Trunks
field. The
selected trunks will be used by this dial rule for outbound phone calls.
Notice
If you want all users to use the same dial rule for outbound phone calls, a dial prefix may not be necessary. But please make sure all
available trunks should be included in the
Selected Trunks
field, otherwise unselected trunks will never be used.
If you want to set different dial rules please make sure the dial rules use different dial prefixes.

Dial Permissions
Path:
Telephony -> Outbound Control -> Dial Permissions
A dial permission consists of outbound dial permissions (dial rules) and internal dial permissions. Each extension number had been
assigned with a dial permission. Dial rules are created for dial outbound phone calls, internal dial permissions are used for controlling
extension number from using local phone system features.
You may create several different dial permissions. By assigning the extension numbers with different dial permissions you may limit the
extension users to dial certain outbound phone calls and use certain local phone system features.
Click on
button to create a new dial permission or you may use the default dial permission.
