Syntax for the Dial Plan Timer
SYNTAX: (Ps<:n> | dial plan)
• s: The number of seconds; The timer before a number is dialed is whichever shorter of the dial plan
default timer and the dial tone timer set in the Dial Tone field. With the timer set to 0 seconds, the call
transmits automatically to the specified extension when the phone goes off hook.
• n: (optional): The number to transmit automatically when the timer expires; you can enter an extension
number or a DID number. No wildcard characters are allowed because the number is transmitted as
shown. If you omit the number substitution, <:n>, the user hears a reorder (fast busy) tone after the
specified number of seconds.
Examples for the Dial Plan Timer
The actual timer before a number is dialed is whichever shorter of the dial plan default timer and the dial tone
timer set in the Dial Tone field. In the following examples, the dial tone timer is assumed to be longer than
the dial plan timer.
Note
Allow more time for users to start dialing after taking a phone off hook:
(P9 | (9,8<:1408>[2-9]xxxxxx | 9,8,1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 9,8,011xx. | 9,8,xx.|[1-8]xx)
P9 means that after taking a phone off hook, a user has 9 seconds to begin dialing. If no digits are pressed
within 9 seconds, the user hears a reorder (fast busy) tone. By setting a longer timer, you allow more time for
users to enter digits.
To create a hotline for all sequences on the System Dial Plan:
(P9<:23> | (9,8<:1408>[2-9]xxxxxx | 9,8,1[2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 9,8,011xx. | 9,8,xx.|[1-8]xx)
P9<:23> means that after taking the phone off hook, a user has 9 seconds to begin dialing. If no digits are
pressed within 9 seconds, the call is transmitted automatically to extension 23.
To create a hotline on a line button for an extension:
(P0 <:1000>)
With the timer set to 0 seconds, the call is transmitted automatically to the specified extension when the phone
goes off hook. Enter this sequence in the Phone Dial Plan for Ext 2 or higher on a client phone.
Interdigit Long Timer (Incomplete Entry Timer)
You can think of this timer as the incomplete entry timer. This timer measures the interval between dialed
digits. It applies as long as the dialed digits do not match any digit sequences in the dial plan. Unless the user
enters another digit within the specified number of seconds, the entry is evaluated as incomplete, and the call
is rejected. The default value is 10 seconds.
