Voice Configuration Ref erence Informat ion C-5
●
Voice Port 4 Configuration:
◆ # of Leading Digits to Delete = 0 .
◆ Forward Delay = 4 (.25 sec intervals)
◆ Forwarded Digit Type = DTMF .
◆ Forwarded Output Digits = Ext .
◆ Source of Extended Digits = USER .
The sequence of steps in placing a call are as follows:
1. The caller dials 59111 .
2. PBX A connects to Node 1 Port 4, and the caller hears a dial tone.
3. The caller dials 2559333 .
4. Node 1 translates speed dial number 25 to long digits 000215 , connects to PBX B
through Node 2 Port 5, and sends along the user-dialed extended digits 59333 after
a 1-second delay.
5. PBX B connects with Node 3, and the caller hears a dial tone.
6. The caller dials 447777 .
7. Node 3 translates speed dial number 44 to long digits 000414 , connects to PBX C
through Node 4 Port 4, and sends along the user-dialed extended digits 7777 after
a 1-second delay.
8. PBX C connects the caller to phone 7777 , which rings.
Variable-Length Dialing
The SmartSwitch 1800 supports variable length dialing using the Dial Timer parameter
in Voice Port configuration ( page 13-8 ). Variable-length dialing allows the user to
place a call without entering the configured number of digits for the speed dial
number. Variable-length dialing can be disabled by setting the
Dial Timer to zero.
When this parameter is set to a value greater than zero, the timer is started when the
SmartSwitch receives the first dial digit from the attached equipment and the digit is
not the long-form calling
Long Dial Prefix (also configured in the Voice Port record).
If the timer decrements to zero with no new digit entries, the SmartSwitch will assume
that dialing is complete, and will pad the digit entries with leading zeros to the length
of the configured
Dial Digits (see page 13-3 ). For example, if the configured number
of dial digits is four, and the user enters 33 and lets the dial timer expire, the 33 will be
converted to 0033 . This number will then be used to perform a look-up in the map
table, rather than the SmartSwitch using the actual digits dialed by the user.
Note that regardless of the Dial Timer setting, the following conditions and configura-
tions will disable variable-length dialing:
1. Long-call-format dialing is being used. The SmartSwitch 1800 assumes this
format is being used if the first digit dialed is the character configured for Long
Call Prefix .
