Parameter |
Description |
External line code | The code that a subscriber in this Business Group dials to obtain an external line (for a number that is not an intercom code or short code). Specify a code consisting of 1-5 characters corresponding to telephone keys; the first character may be #, *, or one of the digits 0-9, and any remaining characters must be digits 0-9. This code must not match the Star replacement for pulse dialing, any Short code or any value in an Intercom Code Range defined for this Dialing Plan. To use Assume 9 dialing, delete any existing value and leave this field blank. You also need to configure the Business Group Number Blocks in this Business Group to use a Subscriber Group with an appropriate Digit Map for Assume 9 dialing. See the Knowledge Base on the MetaSwitch Customer Portal (http://support.metaswitch.com) for more information. If the Business Group includes SIP subscribers, the code must not match the initial digits of any Call Services access code or vice versa. For example, do not configure an external line code of *3 if you use *345 for an access code, and do not configure an external line code of *88 if you use *8 for an access code. |
Star replacement for pulse dialing | A key sequence that a subscriber in this Business Group can dial instead of the * key (for use on telephones that do not have this key). You do not need to set this field unless subscribers in the Business Group are using pulse dial telephones. Specify a key sequence consisting of 1-5 characters, which must be digits 0-9. This code must not match the External line code, any Short code or any value in an Intercom Code Range defined for this Dialing Plan. |
Force simple matching | Some Access Devices may have difficulty in matching dialed digits correctly to a Business Group's Dialing Plan using the standard digit matching process. In these cases, this field allows you to force the use of simple digit matching. Use this option if you are having interoperability problems with access devices, or as recommended by your MetaSwitch support personnel. Values:
