Configuring the Screen Controls

Number length Enter the phone number length of the originating call. The range is 0 through 20. This field is set to 1 by default.

Starting digits Enter the initial sequence of digits of the originating calling party number. You can type 0-20 characters, using digits 0 through 9, * (star) and # (pound). This field is blank by default.

If this field is left blank, it means that the rule applies to any digit string of the number specified in the Number Length field for which another rule for that length does not apply.

Dialing plan Select the type of dialing access. All the check boxes are deselected by default.

If none are selected, the dialing rule is set to ‘No dialing codes required’. If one or more is selected, the dialing rule shows the combination, for instance ‘User trunk, long distance and international access codes’.
