Telephone number Translation
The Dialing Translation Table changes Network DNs into numbers that can be
dialed on the local network. The Network DN form of a telephone number is the
normal form in which the number appears. For example, on a business card a
telephone number would read 403-555-5050. This number, in it’s Network DN
form, must be translated into a number that can be dialed on the local telephone
network. The Dialing Translation Table follows the rules required to make the call.
The Dialing Translation Table needs to define each possible case where some
degree of change is needed to allow the number to be dialed on the local network.
Every Dialing Translation Table entry consists of an Input column and an Output
column. The values in the Input column represent the leading digits of the Network
DN which, if matched, are replaced by the corresponding value in the Output
column. The “*” character shown after a value signifies any digits in the telephone
number remaining to be dialed. Norstar Voice Mail automatically adds the “*”
character after every Input and Output value.
Any given telephone number will either match a specific Input value or will not
match at all.
The following three tables are examples of Dialing Translation Tables and how they
function.
