Dial-now
You can configure one or more dial-now rules (up to 100) on your phone. When the dialed
number matches the dial-now string, the number will be dialed out automatically. For example,
a dial-now rule is configured as "1xxx", any entered four-digit string beginning with 1 will then
be dialed out automatically on the phone.
Basic expression syntaxes you need to know:
Syntax
Description
.
The dot "." can be used as a placeholder or multiple placeholders for any
character. Example:
"12." would match "123", "1234", "12345", "12abc", etc.
x
An "x" can be used as a placeholder for any character. Example:
"12x" would match "121", "122", "123", "12a", etc.
-
Numeric ranges are allowed within the brackets: Digit “-” Digit. Example:
“[5-7]” would match the number”5”, ”6”or ”7”.
[]
The square brackets "[]" can be used as a placeholder for a single character
which matches any of a set of characters. Example:
"91[5-7]1234" would match "9151234", "9161234", "9171234".
()
The parentheses "( )" can be used to group together patterns, for instance, to
logically combine two or more patterns. Example:
"([1-9])([2-7])3" would match "923", "153", "773",etc.
$
The “$” followed by the sequence number of a parenthesis means the
characters placed in the parenthesis. The sequence number stands for the
corresponding parenthesis. Example:
A replace rule configuration, Prefix: "001(xxx)45(xx)", Replace: "9001$145$2".
When you dial out "0012354599" on your phone, the Skype for Business
phone will replace the number with "90012354599". “$1” means 3 digits in the
first parenthesis, that is, “235”. “$2” means 2 digits in the second parenthesis,
that is, “99”.
