SIP DIAL PLAN TERMINATOR
The IP phone provides a feature that allows an administrator to configure whether or not
pressing the hash/pound (i.e. “#”) key, while performing an outgoing call on an open line, should
be sent as %23 to the proxy in the dial string or if the key should be used as a dial plan terminator
(i.e. dials out the call immediately). By default, the hash/pound key is configured as a dial plan
terminator; however, an administrator can change the behavior using the Mitel Web UI or the
configuration files.
DIGIT TIMEOUT
The IP phone allows you to configure a “
Digit Timeout
” feature on the IP phone. The Digit
Timeout is the time, in seconds, between consecutive key presses on the IP phone’s keypad.
The default for this parameter is 4 seconds. If you press a key on the phone and wait 4 seconds
before pressing the next key, the key times out and cancels the digit selection. You must press
consecutive keys before the timeout occurs.
SECONDARY DIAL TONE
The IP phones support a feature that allows the user to dial a predefined dial string, obtain a
dial tone, and continue dialing. A User or Administrator can configure this using the existing
Dial Plan feature on the phone.
You can enter a new character string in the dial plan that allows you to configure the secondary
dial tone. The character string is of the form "
.;.
" , where the period indicates an arbitrary number
of digits and the semicolon indicates that the phone is to present a dial tone after the previous
dialed digit. For example, in the string:
"9;xxxxx"
the user dials “
9
” to get the outside line, listens for the dial tone, and continues to dial the
applicable number. The “
;
” tells the phone to present a second dial tone after the previously
dialed digit. “The “xxxxx” in the example tells the phone that a phone number is dialed after the
secondary dial tone is audible.
You can enter the Secondary Dial Tone string in the Dial Plan using the configuration files or
the Mitel Web UI.
You use the following parameter in the configuration files to configure a secondary dial tone:
• sip dial plan
Example:
sip dial plan: “9;5551313”
CONFIGURING THE SIP LOCAL DIAL PLAN, DIAL PLAN TERMINATOR, AND
DIGIT TIMEOUT
