SIP User's Manual 7. Auxiliary Configuration Files
7.3 Dial Plan File
The Dial Plan file contains a list of up to eight dial plans, supporting a total of up to 8,000
user-defined, distinct prefixes (e.g. area codes, international telephone number patterns)
for the PSTN to which the device is connected. The Dial Plan is used for the following:
îš„ (Tel-to-IP calls): The file includes up to eight patterns (i.e., eight dial plans). These
allow the device to know when digit collection ends, after which it starts sending all the
collected (or dialed) digits (in the INVITE message). This also provides enhanced digit
mapping.
The Dial Plan file is first created using a text-based editor (such as Notepad) and saved
with the file extension *.ini. This ini file is then converted to a binary file (*.dat) using the
DConvert utility (refer to the Product Reference Manual). Once converted, it can then be
loaded to the device using the Web interface (see ''Loading Auxiliary Files'' on page 170).
The Dial Pla
n file must be prepared in a textual ini file with the following syntax:
îš„ Every line in the file defines a known dialing prefix and the number of digits expected
to follow that prefix. The prefix must be separated from the number of additional digits
by a comma (',').
îš„ Empty lines are ignored.
îš„ Lines beginning with a semicolon (';') are ignored.
îš„ Multiple dial plans may be specified in one file; a name in square brackets on a
separate line indicates the beginning of a new dial plan. Up to eight dial plans can be
defined.
îš„ Asterisks ('*') and number-signs ('#') can be specified as part of the prefix.
îš„ Numeric ranges are allowed in the prefix.
îš„ A numeric range is allowed in the number of additional digits.
Notes:
• The prefixes must not overlap. Attempting to process an overlapping
configuration by the DConvert utility results in an error message
specifying the problematic line.
• For a detailed description on working with Dial Plan files, see ''External
Dial Plan File'' on page 230.
