Digit Sequence Examples
The following examples show digit sequences that you can enter in a dial plan.
In a complete dial plan entry, sequences are separated by a pipe character (|), and the entire set
of sequences is enclosed within parentheses.
EXAMPLE: ([1-8]xx | 9, xxxxxxx | 9, <:1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 8, <:1212>xxxxxxx |
9, 1 [2-9] xxxxxxxxx | 9, 1 900 xxxxxxx ! | 9, 011xxxxxx. | 0 | [49]11 )
NOTE Red text is used to highlight the elements that are explained in the examples.
• Extensions on your system
( [1-8]xx | 9, xxxxxxx | 9, <:1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 8, <:1212>xxxxxxx | 9, 1 [2-9]
xxxxxxxxx | 9, 1 900 xxxxxxx ! | 9, 011xxxxxx. | 0 | [49]11 )
[1-8]xx Allows a user dial any three-digit number that starts with the digits 1 through
8. If your system uses four-digit extensions, you would instead enter the following
string: [1-8]xxx
• Local dialing with seven-digit number
( [1-8]xx | 9, xxxxxxx | 9, <:1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 8, <:1212>xxxxxxx | 9, 1 [2-9]
xxxxxxxxx | 9, 1 900 xxxxxxx ! | 9, 011xxxxxx. | 0 | [49]111)
9, xxxxxxx After a user presses 9, an external dial tone sounds. The user can then dial
any seven-digit number, as in a local call.
• Local dialing with 3-digit area code and a 7-digit local number
( [1-8]xx | 9, xxxxxxx | 9, <:1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 8,<:1212>xxxxxxx | 9, 1 [2-9]
xxxxxxxxx | 9, 1 900 xxxxxxx !| 9, 011xxxxxx. | 0 | [49]11 )
9, <:1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx This example is useful where a local area code is required.
After a user presses 9, an external dial tone sounds. The user must enter a 10-digit
number that begins with a digit 2 through 9. The system automatically inserts the 1
prefix before transmitting the number to the carrier.
• Local dialing with an automatically inserted 3-digit area code
( [1-8]xx | 9, xxxxxxx | 9, <:1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 8, <:1212>xxxxxxx | 9, 1 [2-9]
xxxxxxxxx | 9, 1 900 xxxxxxx ! | 9, 011xxxxxx. | 0 | [49]11 )
