1. The phone begins collecting the dialed digits. The inter-digit timers starts 
tracking the time that elapses between digits. 
2. If the inter-digit timer value is reached, or if another terminating event occurs, the 
phone compares the dialed digits with the IP phone dial plan. (This dial plan is 
configured in the phone web user interface in the Voice tab, on the tab for each 
extension (Ext N), under the Dial Plan section.)
If the phone is part of a Cisco SPA9000:
3. If the phone dial plan allows the call to process, the dialed numbers are sent to 
the Cisco SPA9000. 
4. The Cisco SPA9000 compares the dialed digits to the CALL ROUTING RULE (on 
SPA9000 Voice > SIP page in the PBX Parameters section).
5. If the call routing rule allows the call to process, then the Cisco SPA9000 
compares the dialed digits to the LINE INTERFACE dial plan (on the 
Cisco SPA9000 Voice > Line N page, Dial Plan). 
6. The Cisco SPA9000 uses the information in the line dial plan to manipulate the 
number (for example, to remove steering digits) and then transmits the number.
NOTE The dial plan feature (digit sequences and timers) is not used with the 
Cisco SPA525G2 phone line associated to Mobile Link (a Bluetooth-enabled 
mobile phone). Mobile phone dial plan rules continue to apply in this scenario.
Digit Sequences
A dial plan contains a series of digit sequences, separated by the | character. The 
entire collection of sequences is enclosed within parentheses. Each digit 
sequence within the dial plan consists of a series of elements that are individually 
matched to the keys that the user presses. 
White space is ignored, but can be used for readability.
