Enhanced Local Dialing Requirements

The enhanced local dialing feature is invoked when all the following conditions are met:

• An application on a 9600 Series IP Telephone obtains or otherwise identifies a character string as containing a telephone number the user wants to dial, and
• The Phone application determines a call appearance is available for an outgoing call, and
• The originating application is the Missed Call Log, the Answered Call Log, or any Browser-based application, and
• The current value of ENHDIALSTAT is "1" (On), and
• The call server has not indicated it supports smart enbloc dialing (log dialing digit analysis available with Communication Manager Release 4.0).

The Phone application takes the incoming character string, applies an algorithm, and determines the string of digits to be sent to automated call processing (ACP) for dialing. At this point the Phone application goes off-hook and sends the digits to ACP.

NOTE: The Enhanced Local Dialing algorithm requires that telephone numbers be presented in a standard format. The standard format depends on how you administer the parameters indicated in Table 9. The algorithm also assumes that international telephone numbers are identified as such in, for example, WML Web sites. This is indicated by preceding that type of number with a plus (+) sign, and a space or some non-digit character following the country code.
