On the called side
Figure 616 shows the dial plan operation process on the called side.

1. After receiving a voice call (the called number), the voice gateway on the called side performs
global calling/called number substitution.
2. The voice gateway on the called side selects proper local numbers or call routes based on the local
number or call route selection priority rules. Number substitution might also be involved during the
local number or call route selection. If the called party is a local number, the gateway directly
connects the line. If the called party is a PSTN subscriber, the gateway initiates a call and sends the
calling and called numbers to the PSTN. The PBX in the PSTN connects the call.
Regular expression
You will use some regular expressions frequently when you configure number substitution rules. Regular
expressions are a powerful and flexible tool for pattern matching and substitution. They are not restricted
to a language or system, and have been widely accepted.
When using a regular expression, you must construct a matching pattern according to certain rules, and
then compare the matching pattern with the target object. The simplest regular expressions do not
contain any meta-character. For example, you can specify a regular expression
hello , which only
matches the string hello .
To help you construct matching patterns flexibly, regular expressions support some special characters,
called meta-characters, which define the way other characters appear in the target object.
