| Separates dialing prefix from number
For e.g. adding '01|X.' in the Dial Pattern and selected a “VoIP Provider1” in Trunk Sequence,
will allow user to dial 014567807890 numbers, so that 01 will be stripped off from the dialed
digits and only 4567807890 are dialed through VoIP Provider1. (Where as a VoIP Provider1 is
an account which is registered to any Internet Telephony Service Provider)
Second way is, choose provider or trunk based on actual number dialed. This type of rule will
allow the user to choose suitable provider based on actual number. For e.g. adding ' 44X.' in
Dial Pattern and selected VoIP Provider 2 in trunk sequence, PBX will allow number dialed from
44 + (any digit from 0 to 9) like 449872837532 will route through VoIP Provider 2. If the ITSP /
VoIP provider offer cheaper rates for the region where number starts from 44 users can make
use of this rule.
Enable Ceasing Of Trunk: This feature enables 2-stage dialing. For Example: If you have
created dial out rule with pattern “0” and enable ceasing of trunk. While dialing out you need to
press “0” and wait for the line dial tone and enter Calles number
Trunk Sequence
: The final phase of creating the dial plan is setting the trunk sequence. Not all
dial plans have multiple trunks available for use, such as the remote extensions example. In
other cases, such as long-distance dialing, our preferred carrier would be first, followed by a
backup provider in case we max out the available channels, or if the system was unable to
contact the primary provider. We can choose our trunk sequence from the list of available trunks
with priority.
