The syntax of dial plans is fairly standard across different voip ata devices. The following sets out the
basic components of the dial plan.

• ( ) - The entire dial plan is surrounded by open and close brackets.
• | - Each individual dial plan is separated by a pipe | character.
• 0-9 - Treated as normal digits
• x - Treated as any normal digit 0-9 on phone
• * - Treated as normal * character on phone
• # - Treated as normal # character on phone (Also see note on Immediate Callout)
• . - Repetition
• < : > - Replacement, eg <07:617> means replace 07 with 617, <:07> means prepend 07
• <:@pstn > - Dial via FXO port PSTN line
• <:@Profile1> - Dial via Profile1
• T - Dial After Timeout
• ! - Block this number
• [ ] - Limiting choices, eg [45] means either 4 or 5, [3-5] means any of 3,4 or 5, and
• [24-68] means any of 2,4,5,6,8
• Example dial plan rules:
• x.T A catch-all that will dial the collected digits out via the CurrentProfile
• assigned to the Port after a timeout (4secs).
• <:07>[345]x.T Prepends 07 to numbers beginning with 3, 4 or 5 eg for Qld local dialling
