Digit Collection and Dial Plan Parameters

The digit collection and dial plan parameters are described in the table below.

Digit Collection and Dial Plan Parameters

Parameter

Description

'Dial Plan Index'

configure voip > gateway dtmf-supp-service dtmf-and-dialing > dial-plan-index

[DialPlanIndex]

Defines the Dial Plan index to use in the external Dial Plan file. The Dial Plan file is loaded to the device as a .dat file (converted using the DConvert utility). The Dial Plan index can be defined globally or per Tel Profile.

The valid value range is 0 to 7, where 0 denotes PLAN1, 1 denotes PLAN2, and so on. The default is -1, indicating that no Dial Plan file is used.

Note:

If the parameter is configured to select a Dial Plan index, the settings of the parameter DigitMapping are ignored.
If the parameter is configured to select a Dial Plan index from an external Dial Plan file, the device first attempts to locate a matching digit pattern in the Dial Plan file, and if not found, then attempts to locate a matching digit pattern in the Digit Map rules configured by the DigitMapping parameter.
Digital interfaces: The parameter is also applicable to ISDN with overlap dialing.
Digital interfaces: For E1 CAS MFC-R2 variants (which don't support terminating digit for the called party number, usually I-15), the parameter and the DigitMapping parameter are ignored. Instead, you can define a Dial Plan template per trunk using the parameter CasTrunkDialPlanName_x (or in the Trunk Settings page).
The parameter can also be configured in a Tel Profile.
For more information on the Dial Plan file, see Dialing Plans for Digit Collection.

configure voip > gateway manipulation settings > tel2ip-src-nb-map-dial-index

[Tel2IPSourceNumberMappingDialPlanIndex]

Defines the Dial Plan index in the external Dial Plan file for the Tel-to-IP Source Number Mapping feature.

The valid value range is 0 to 7, defining the Dial Plan index [Plan x] in the Dial Plan file. The default is -1 (disabled).

For more information on this feature, see Modifying ISDN-to-IP Calling Party Number using Dial Plan File.

'Digit Mapping Rules'

configure voip > gateway dtmf-supp-service dtmf-and-dialing > digitmapping

[DigitMapping]

Defines the digit map pattern. If the digit string (i.e., dialed number) matches one of the patterns in the digit map, the device stops collecting digits and establishes a call with the collected number. For digital interfaces: This is used to reduce the dialing period for ISDN overlap dialing.

The digit map pattern can contain up to 52 options (rules), each separated by a vertical bar (|). The maximum length of the entire digit pattern is 152 characters.

For more information on digit maps, see Digit Mapping.

Note:

For ISDN interfaces, the digit map mechanism is applicable only when ISDN overlap dialing is used (ISDNRxOverlap is set to 1).
If the [DialPlanIndex] parameter is configured (to select a Dial Plan index), then the device first attempts to locate a matching digit pattern in the Dial Plan file, and if not found, then attempts to locate a matching digit pattern in the Digit Map rules configured by the [DigitMapping] parameter.

'Max Digits in Phone Num'

configure voip > gateway dtmf-supp-service dtmf-and-dialing > mxdig-b4-dialing

[MaxDigits]

Defines the maximum number of collected destination number digits that can be received from the Tel side for analog interfaces or for digital interfaces, when ISDN Tel-to-IP overlap dialing is performed. When the number of collected digits reaches this maximum, the device uses these digits for the called destination number.

The valid range is 1 to 49. The default is 5 for analog interfaces and 30 for digital interfaces.

Note:

Instead of using the parameter, you can configure digit maps.
Analog: Dialing ends when any of the following scenarios occur:
Maximum number of digits is dialed
Interdigit timeout expires (configured by the [TimeBetweenDigits] parameter)
Pound (#) key is pressed
Digit map pattern is matched

'Inter Digit Timeout for Overlap Dialing'

configure voip > gateway dtmf-supp-service dtmf-and-dialing > time-btwn-dial-digs

[TimeBetweenDigits]

Defines a timeout between digits (i.e., inter-digit timeout).

Analog: Defines the time (in seconds) that the device waits between digits dialed by the user.

ISDN Overlap Dialing: Defines the time (in seconds) that the device waits between digits received from the PSTN or IP during overlap dialing.

When this timeout expires, the device stops waiting for more digits, and uses the collected digits to dial the called destination number.

The valid range is 1 to 10. The default is 4.

'Enable Special Digits'

configure voip > gateway dtmf-supp-service dtmf-and-dialing > special-digits

[IsSpecialDigits]

Enables the use of the asterisk (*) and pound (#) symbols in dialed telephone numbers.

[0] Disable = (Default) Uses '*' or '#' to terminate number collection (see the [UseDigitForSpecialDTMF] parameter).
[1] Enable = Allows '*' and '#' for telephone numbers dialed by a user or for the endpoint telephone number.

Note:

These symbols can always be used as the first digit of a dialed number even if you disable the parameter.
The parameter is applicable only to analog interfaces.
