Dial Plans
The Dial Plan defines dialing permissions and least-cost routing rules. Dial plans
are used in conjunction with calling rules to determine how outgoing calls are to
be routed. For example an organization may choose to route local call through
the analog telephone network, and long-distance calls through the VoIP system.
Calling rules within the Dial Plan define the specific outgoing call rules using a
pattern-matching system. Dial Plans control how calling rules are applied to
specific classes of extensions.
NOTE: Extensions and calling rules are defined first, so that Dial Plans
can be built upon them.
NOTE: If a user dials a specific pattern which has not been defined, the
call is considered to be internal and will be routed internally.
Dial plans are executed in sequence, from top to bottom as they are listed
in the Web Interface. For this reason, the rules will generally be listed with
long patterns at the top, and shorter ones toward the bottom.
The UP and Down buttons allow for repositioning of rules as they are
added.
