The Spectralink 84-Series handset utilizes a default digit map as part of the dial plan
configuration. The following explains what each of the default digit mappings will match to:
[2-9]11
– This string will match 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711, 811, or 911
0T
– This string will match 0 and then wait for the inter-digit timeout to expire (3 seconds
by default)
+011xxx.T
– This string will be used for international dialing within the United States and
Canada. It will match 011 followed by any three digits (0-9) and then any additional
number of digits until the inter-digit timeout expires (3 seconds by default)
0[2-9]xxxxxxxxx
– This string will be used for collect calling within the United States and
Canada. It will match 0 plus a digit between 2 and 9 followed by nine additional digits (0-
9)
+1[2-9]xxxxxxxx
– This string will be used for standard long distance dialing within the
United States and Canada. It will match 1 plus a digit between 2 and 9 followed by eight
additional digits (0-9)
[2-9]xxxxxxxxx
– This string will be used for long distance dialing where ten digits are
allowed. This will be dependent on the local PSTN provider as to whether it will be a
valid dial string. Note that this is similar to ten digit dialing with cellular telephones. It will
match a digit between 2 and 9 followed by nine additional digits (0-9)
[2-9]xxxT
– This string will be used for local dialing in situations where area codes and
local exchange codes are not required. This string may also match internal extension
based dialing depending on the digits being dialed. It will match a digit between 2 and 9
followed by three additional digits (0-9) until the inter-digit timeout expires (3 seconds by
default)
Please note that the default dial plan may not be sufficient for your particular needs. For
example, many customers require a digit be dialed to access an outside line, such as 9. In this
case they may not be able to dial a sufficient number of digits before the call attempts to
complete.
For example, a customer is attempting to dial 913035551155. With the default digit map
this would match to [2-9]xxxxxxxxx. This would mean that after the customer had dialed
9130355511 the call would attempt to complete. However, this would be an incomplete
dial string so it would fail to connect.
To remedy the issue it is recommended that customers consider their dial plan carefully. It may
be prudent to alter the default digit map as well to a more simplified format. One such example
would be to set the digit map to x.T and remove all other strings. This string would match all
possible dialed digits as it will allow for one digit (0-9) followed by any number of additional
digits (0-9). The T at the end will mean that the user will have 3 seconds, by default, between
each digit before the handset stops collecting digits and attempts to complete the call.
Many customer environments rely on complex dial plans within the PBX to handle call routing
and class of service requirements to prevent undesired dialing by users. Because of this it may
