Dial Plan Entry Actions
A full list of the Actions available and their descriptions are available within Field Descriptions section from
page 326.
Standard Dial Plan
By default, a Dial Plan called Standard is created which, when assigned to a User, allows the User to make
external calls (no prefix is required), strips the prefix of 9 from a number dialled for those who are used to
dialling 9 for an outside line, allows emergency calls to be made even when outgoing call barring is set
and provides the short code of 1571 to allow access to the User’s voicemail box. Additional Dial Plan
entries can be created within this Dial Plan by following steps above.
A ready-made list of Dial Plan entries is available with the maximiser system and can be imported into the
configuration. For further details please refer to the Importing and Exporting the Configuration section
from page 273.
Dial Plan Commands
The following commands can also be used within a Dial Plan entry:
In the Number Match field
–
? (question mark) = wild card entry, to match the number entered
. (full stop) = the digits dialled by the user will match exactly the digits entered before the full stop. This
means, for example, that a Dial Plan entry of 1. can be used but still allow Users the ability to dial 100 to
BT.
In the Translate To field -
%n = dial all digits entered by the user
%r = dial the number entered by the user minus the digits entered in the Number Match field
! (exclamation mark) = go to voicemail (please refer to page 210 for further details)
-n (where n is a number) = used in conjunction with the Park action, instructs the system to park the call
in the next available slot starting at n, eg -1
%e = dial the original extension (mainly used in a LCR Plan entry to allow extension level billing but still
withhold CLI, for example, via the Dial Plan.)
