Once you have completed the calling rule definition click Save to accept the rule or Cancel to abandon your

Dial Plans
A Dial Plan is a collection of Outgoing Calling Rules. Dial Plans are assigned to user extensions to specify the
dialing permissions associated with that extension. For example, you might have one Dial Plan for local
calling that only permits extensions associated with that Dial Plan to dial local numbers, via the "local"
outgoing calling rule. Another extension may be permitted to dial long distance numbers, and so would have a
Dial Plan that includes both the "local" and "longdistance" outgoing calling rules.
Click New at the top of the Calling Rules page and create a new dial plan name. You can then add calling
rules for that dial plan definition.
The default dial plan, the collection of your calling rules, is Default_Dialplan. You can create more than one
dial plan, especially if you want to have different dial plans for different user extensions. Change the
DialPlanName
, and then select the checkbox for each Outgoing Calling Rule associated with this plan. You
can also select which local contexts, such as conferences, voicemenu, and queues should be part of the dial
plan.
Once you have completed the dial plan definition click Save to accept the plan, or Cancel to abandon your
changes. Click Apply Changes in the upper right corner of the page to make your changes immediately
available. Click Edit next to a dial plan on the list list to edit a previously defined plan, or Delete to delete a
dial plan.
New CallingRule Page Options (Cont.)
Use Trunk Specify the trunk through which calls, matching the specified
pattern, will be placed.
Strip This option gives you the ability to remove specified number of
digits from the front of the call string before the call is dialed and
placed through the trunk specified in Use Trunk.
Prepend These
Digits This option gives you the opportunity to add digits to the front of
the call string before the call is dialed and placed through the fail
over trunk. For example, a 3 digit area code could be prepended
to a 7 digit string for calls to a service provider which requires 10
digit dialing.
Note: You may also prepend the ‘w’ character for analog trunks to
provide a 500ms delay before dialing. This is useful if your
telecommunications provider does not immediately provide dial
tone after going off hook.
Use Failover
Trunk Failover trunks can be used to ensure that a call goes through if
the primary trunk is busy or down. If the Use Failover Trunk
checkbox is selected and Fail Over Trunk is specified, then calls
that can not be placed through the primary trunk will be placed
through this alternate route. If your primary trunk is a VoIP trunk,
but you want calls to be placed through the PSTN when the VoIP
trunk isn’t available, then this option will suit your needs.
