Available symbols that can be used in the emergency dial plan are as follows:
EMERGENCY DIAL PLAN AND PATTERN MATCHING
The IP Phones support emergency dialing using pattern matching (i.e. once a user enters a
set of numbers that matches a pattern defined in the emergency dial plan, the phone will
automatically dial out the number without the user having to press the Dial softkey).
With Live Dialpad enabled, if a Speeddial key is used to dial out, the number dials automatically
but the whole defined number string is examined against the emergency dial plan.
If the whole string does not match a pattern defined in the emergency dial plan at all, the number
will not be dialed out. If the whole string matches partially with a pattern defined in the emergency
dial plan but has less numbers, the number will not be dialed out. If the whole string matches
partially with a pattern defined in the emergency dial plan, but has more numbers, the full string
is dialed out.
For example, if the emergency dial plan is defined as 9xx and speeddial key number is 5000,
the call will not dial out. If a pre-dial or speeddial key number is 91, the call will not dial out. If
a pre-dial or speeddial key number is 911, the call will be dialed out as 911. If a pre-dial or
speeddial key number is 9112, the call will be dialed out as 9112.
EMERGENCY DIAL PLAN AND PREFIX DIALING
The IP phones also support a prefix dialing feature for outgoing emergency calls. If the dialed
number matches against the emergency dial plan, the phone automatically maps the
pre-configured prepended digit in the configuration to the beginning of the dialed number.
