Design Guide for the Polycom SoundStructure C16, C12, C8, and SR12
A - 46
Description
This command dials the specified string of digits on the telephony interface. 
This parameter can be used to dial one digit at a time or many digits all at once. 
For the PSTN interface, valid digits are '0' through '9', '*', '#', and ',' (delay). For 
the SoundStructure VoIP Interface, all characters are valid.
If the telephony interface is not connected (see the phone_connect parameter) 
when this parameter is set, the characters will be stored in a dial buffer. When 
the telephony interface is eventually connected, the characters stored in the 
dial buffer shall be dialed. If more than 20 seconds pass after the last 
phone_dial or phone_connect parameters are sent, then the dial buffer is auto-
matically cleared. 
Examples
phone_dial_backspace 
Delete previously dialed digit
Description
Setting this parameter deletes the most recently added character from the 
phone_dial dial buffer. If there are no characters in the dial buffer, then setting 
this parameter has no effect. For the PSTN interface, this parameter only 
affects the dial buffer when the phone interface is on-hook. This is true for the 
VoIP interface as well, but the parameter also affects the dial buffer when the 
interface is off-hook before a call is placed.
Command Response Description
set phone_dial "Phone 
Out" "9,18009322774"

Dials the phone line associated with the virtual channel 
"Phone Out" with the digit string "9,18009322774". The 
phone line must be offhook for the digits to be dialed - 
see phone_connect. Note that the phone out virtual 
channel name must be used, not the phone input virtual 
channel name.
