Replace Rule
You can configure one or more replace rules to remove the specified string and
replace it with another string. You can configure a pattern with wildcards (refer to the
expression syntax in the table above), so that any string that matches the pattern will be
replaced. This feature is convenient for you to dial out a long number. For example, a
replace rule is configured as “Number: 1” and “Replace: 1234567”, when you want to
dial out the number “1234567”, you just need to enter “1”.
To add a replace rule via web user interface:
6. Click on Phone->Dial Plan->Replace Rule.
7. Enter the string (e.g. 2xx) in the Number field.
8. Enter the string (e.g. 12345) in the Replace field.
9. Enter the desired line ID in the Account field or leave it blank.
10. Click Add to add the replace rule.
When you enter the number “234” using the keypad and then dial out, the handset
will dial out “12345” instead.
To edit a replace rule via web user interface:
6. Click on Phone->Dial Plan->Replace Rule.
7. Select the desired replace rule by checking the check box.
8. Edit the values in the Number and Replace fields.
9. Enter the desired line ID in the Account field or leave it blank.
10. Click Edit to accept the change.
To delete one or more replace rules via web user interface:
4. Click on Phone->Dial Plan->Replace Rule.
5. Select the one or more replace rules by checking the check box(es).
6. Click Delete to delete the replace rule(s).

Area Code
Area codes are also known as Numbering Plan Areas (NPAs). They usually indicate
geographical areas in a country. This feature is necessary only when dialing the number
outside the code area. For example, area code is configured as “Code: 011, Minimum
Length: 4, Maximum Length: 11”, then when you dial out the number “56789”, which
has digits between 4 and 11, the phone will add the area code and dial out the
number “01156789”.
