VMSC - VMD - Dialing Rules - Telephony Dialing Rule Dialog Box

The Telephony Dialing Rule dialog box allows you to configure dialing rules for local subscribers to dial originators of call-answer messages.

Each rule can be configured by specifying the number of digits in the dialing string, the starting digits, and whether the dialing rule should prepend the trunk, long distance or international dialing access codes.

To reach this dialog box, you must click the Dialing rules

button or

button on the General tab of the Dialing Rules dialog box (see VMSC - VMD - Dialing Rules Dialog Box).

When you press OK, the information in these fields appears in the Dialing rules list in the Dialing Rules dialog box.

To configure the Telephone Dialing Rule, complete the following fields:

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 enter any DTMF characters excluding military digits, A, B, C, and D. You can enter a maximum of 20 digits. 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’.

Use trunk access code Click to add the trunk access code to the dialing rule.

Use long distance access code Click to add the long distance access code to the dialing rule.

User international access code Click to add the international access code to the dialing rule.
