Interdigit Long Timer (Incomplete Entry Timer)
You can think of this timer as the “incomplete entry” timer. This timer measures the interval
between dialed digits. It applies as long as the dialed digits do not match any digit sequences in
the dial plan. Unless the user enters another digit within the specified number of seconds, the
entry is evaluated as incomplete, and the call is rejected. Default setting: 10 seconds
NOTE This section explains how to edit a timer as part of a dial plan. Alternatively, you can modify
the Control Timer that controls the default interdigit timers for all calls. See Resetting the
Control Timers, page 146.
Syntax for the Interdigit Long Timer
L:s, ( dial plan )
s: The number of seconds; if no number is entered after L:, the default timer of 5 seconds
applies. The timer sequence appears to the left of the initial parenthesis for the dial plan.

L:15, This dial plan allows the user to pause for up to 15 seconds between digits before the
Interdigit Long Timer expires.
Interdigit Short Timer (Complete Entry Timer)
You can think of this timer as the “complete entry” timer. This timer measures the interval

is evaluated. If it is valid, the call proceeds. If it is invalid, the call is rejected. Default setting:
