DID Number Length
The number of digits needed to match a DID (Direct Inward Dialing) number. The
range is from 2 – 16.
Each extension can be assigned a DID number. A DID number does not have a
fixed length. For example, suppose the DID number length is 4 and the extension
DID number is 2522999. Depending on the service contract with the Central Office
(CO), the DID trunk can send all 7 digits (2522999) or just the last 4 digits (2999).
If the DID Number Length option is set to 4, the system always tries to match the
last 4 digits received to the last 4 digits of a DID number, regardless of what is
received.
Note
: To accommodate future growth and minimize disturbance, it is
recommended that the length of the DID numbers assigned to an extension be
greater than or equal to this DID Number Length.
Dialed Digit Translator
This feature is capable of intercepting and manipulating a dialed digit string before
it is sent out for outbound call processing.
To set up a dialed digit translator entry, check the Enable checkbox and click the
Setup
key. This opens a dialog box where you can select First Digit Translator
or Extension Dialed Digit Translator.
This feature supersedes the first digit assignment of the system number plan.
When configured, any extension user can dial a single DTMF digit that will be
translated to any internal or external number. After digit manipulation, the
translated digits go through the system number plan to find the internal or external
target. For example, you can configure “*” to call an internal workgroup to report an
urgent situation.
Typical applications are:
• One-digit emergency dialing
• One-digit dialing to branch or headquarters over PSTN or VoIP
• One-digit dialing to activate a feature code
First Digit Translator Configuration
Figure 14. Single Digit Routing
To set up a First Digit Translator entry, select the check box (to the left of 1-9, *
or #), then enter the desired digits. When a box is checked, the digit preprocessor
will replace the first digit 1-9, * or # that user dials with the digits indicated in the
corresponding field. In the above example, if a user dials “*”, the system replaces
this with “911”.
Note: This feature is for internal extension users only. It does not support dialing
out from voice mail. Improper configuration may cause conflict with the
system numbering plan. Be sure to fully test any configuration change in
this area before going “live.”
