SIP Dial Plan Terminator
The IP phone allows you to enable or disable the use of the “dial plan terminator”. When you
configure the phone’s dial plan to use a dial plan terminator or timeout (such as the pound
symbol (#)) the phone waits 4 or 5 seconds after you pick up the handset or after you finish
dialing the numbers on the keypad before making the call.
You can enable or disable the dial plan terminator using Aastra Web UI or the configuration
files.
Digit Timeout
The IP phone allows you to configure a “Digit Timeout” feature on the IP phone. The Digit
Timeout is the time, in seconds, between consecutive key presses on the IP phone’s keypad. The
default for this parameter is 4 seconds. If you press a key on the phone and wait 4 seconds before
pressing the next key, the key times out and cancels the digit selection. You must press
consecutive keys before the timeout occurs.
Secondary Dial Tone
The IP phones now support a feature that allows the user to dial a predefined dial string, obtain a
dial tone, and continue dialing. A User or Administrator can configure this using the existing
Dial Plan feature on the phone.
You can enter a new character string in the dial plan that allows you to configure the secondary
dial tone. The character string is of the form ".;." , where the period indicates an arbitrary
number of digits and the semicolon indicates that the phone is to present a dial tone after the
previous dialed digit. For example, in the string:
"9;xxxxx"
the user dials “9” to get the outside line, listens for the dial tone, and continues to dial the
applicable number. The “;” tells the phone to present a second dial tone after the previously
dialed digit. “The “xxxxx” in the example tells the phone that a phone number is dialed after the
secondary dial tone is audible.
You can enter the Secondary Dial Tone string in the Dial Plan using the configuration files or the
Aastra Web UI.
You use the following parameter in the configuration files to configure a secondary dial tone:
•
sip dial plan
Example
sip dial plan: “9;5551313”
