Testing a Dial Plan This section describes how you can place a simulated call to test the
currently loaded dial plan.
Even if your system is completely installed and operational, a test places
a simulated, not an actual call.
Example: If you have an entry in the dial plan for digit sequences that
start with 91, with Min and Max set to 5, and you test the sequence
9123, the dial plan test reports an insufficient number of digits. However,
in actual operation, the system would time out waiting for the fifth digit,
and then attempt to place the call. Assuming that the outside line prefix
is 9 (such as in the United States), this situation would obtain an outside
line (9) and then dial the numbers 123.
You can specify a day of the week and a time by selecting entries from
the
Day/Time list boxes. This choice instructs the system to act as if the
day and time you select are the current day and time.
If you define timed routes in the dial plan, you use different day and time
settings to determine whether the timed route works properly.
Example: You can define a timed route to select route 35 during open
business hours Monday through Friday, but to select route 36 when
business is closed on those days and on weekends. After you define the
timed route commands and import the modified file, test using days and
times within business hours (to verify that the system selects route 35) and
during closed hours and weekends (to verify that it selects route 36).
You can also use day and time settings to test whether the Class of
Service settings operate as expected.
Example: You can configure the dial plan to allow toll calls from an
extension during open business hours, but to disallow such calls when
the business is closed and on weekends. Test using days and times within
business hours (to confirm that you can make toll calls from that
extension) and during closed hours and weekends (to confirm that the
system prevents such calls).
