Dial Plan
Dial plan is a string of characters that governs the way your handset processes the inputs
received from your handset keypad. The handset supports the following dial plan features:

Basic expression syntaxes you need to know:
.
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”, etc.
()
The parentheses “()”can be used to group together patterns, for instance, to logically
combine two or more patterns. Example:
“91([5-7])1(x)” would match “91511”, “91618”, “91715”, 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 IP 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”.
Note
Replace Rule
You can configure one or more replace rules (up to 100) to remove the specified string and
replace it with another string. You can configure a pattern with wildcards (refer to the expression
The IP phone supports a new dial plan mechanism – digit map. Digit maps are defined by a single
string or a list of strings. If a number you dial matches any string of a digit map, the call is
automatically placed.
Note that if digit map feature is enabled, the old dial plan rules (describe in this chapter) will be
ignored. For more information, contact your system administrator.
