 Prepend option is used to always add specific digit/digits in front of the actual dialed number after the Dial
Prefix is deleted. These extra digits will be sent along with the actual number to the service provider to
exchange. For example, if you want to always add an area code in front of the dialed number, you can spcify
the area code in front of the dialed number, you can specify the area code here, otherwise leave this field
blank.
 Dial Prefix is the first digit users have to dial while they want to make calls through the trunk/trunks selected
in this dial rule. The system will strip the prefix from the number that is sent to the trunk.
 Dial Patterns act like a filter for matching numbers dialed with trunks. The various patterns you can enter are
similar to Asterisk's definition of them:
 X — Refers to any digit between 0 and 9
 N — Refers to any digit between 2 and 9
 Z — Any digit that is not zero. (E.g. 1 to 9)
 . — Wildcard. Match any number of anything. Must match *something*.
 Pin Set is a collection of PIN codes for granting outbound phone calls.
 Call Method sets how to use the selected trunks for outbound phone calls.
 Linear: Always take the first available trunk, if the first trunk is busy it will try the second trunk, if the
second trunk is busy it will try the third, and so on.
 Linear Cycle: Always take the next trunk, the trunk which the last had taken will not be used, it will call
out through the next one directly.
 Double click one of the trunks or drag-and-drop to move the trunks from Available Trunks field to Selected
Trunks field. The selected trunks will be used by this dial rule for outbound phone calls.
If you want all users to use the same dial rule for outbound phone calls, a dial prefix may not be
necessary. But please make sure all available trunks should be included in the Selected Trunks field,
otherwise unselected trunks will never be used.
If you want to set different dial rules please make sure the dial rules use different dial prefixes.
Dial Permissions
Path: Telephony -> Outbound Control -> Dial Permissions
A dial permission consists of outbound dial permissions (dial rules) and internal dial permissions. Each extension
number had been assigned with a dial permission. Dial rules are created for dial outbound phone calls, internal
dial permissions are used for controlling extension number from using local phone system features.
You may create several different dial permissions. By assigning the extension numbers with different dial
permissions you may limit the extension users to dial certain outbound phone calls and use certain local phone
system features.
Click on button to create a new dial permission or you may use the default dial permission.
