374. Phone settings.4.15 Dial plan. Dial plan is a string of characters that governs the way your handset processes theinputs received from your handset keypad. The handset supports the following dial planfeatures:• Replace rule• Area code• Block out.x[]()$The dot “.” can be used as a placeholder or multiple placeholders for any character.Example:“12.” would match “123”, “1234”, “12345”, “12abc”, etc.An “x” can be used as a placeholder for any character. Example:“12x” would match “121”, “122”, “123”, “12a”, etc.The square brackets “[]”can be used as a placeholder for a single character whichmatches any of a set of characters. Example:“91[5-7]1234” would match “9151234”, “9161234”, “9171234”, etc.The parentheses “()”can be used to group together patterns, for instance, to logicallycombine two or more patterns. Example:“91([5-7])1(x)” would match “91511”, “91618”, “91715”, etc.The “$” should be followed by the sequence number of a parenthesis. The “$” plus thesequence number means the whole character or characters placed in the parenthesis.The number directs to the right parenthesis when there are more than one. Example: Areplace rule configuration: Prefix: “9([5-7]) (.)”, Replace: “5$2”. When you enter“96123” to dial out on your phone, the number will be replaced as “5123” and thendialled out. “$2” means the characters in the second parenthesis, that is, “123”.Basic expression syntaxes you need to know:Please note:When adding a dial plan rule, you can specify the accounts to apply the dial plan rule in the Account field. The valid value of the“Account” parameter can be one or more digits among 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, each of which represents a line ID. Digits must beseparated by commas. For example, when you enter the value “1, 2” in the Account field, this dial plan rule will apply toaccount1 and account2..Replace rule. You can configure one or more replace rules (at most 20) to remove the specified stringand replace it with another string. You can configure a pattern with wildcards (refer tothe expression syntax in the table above), so that any string that matches the patternwill be replaced. This feature is convenient for you to dial out a long number. Forexample, a replace rule is configured as “Prefix: 1” and “Replace: 1234567”, when youwant to dial out the number “1234567”, you just need to enter “1”.
