Dial Plans
The “Dial Plans” section of the interface contains a list of dial plans.
Dial plans translate the sequence of numbers dialed by employees in the CPBX into the +E.164 format. They work similarly to direct translation rules but on the client side. When an employee makes an outgoing external call, the dialed number is translated into the +E.164 format for further processing.
For example, a dial plan is used when an employee calls another city to determine the area code and direct the call to the right destination. This does not apply when an employee makes an internal call using a short number.
One dial plan can be used for any number of domains.
Creating a Dial Plan
1. Go to the “Dial Plans” section.
By default, there is already a pre-configured dial plan called “default” in the list. If it is suitable for the created PBX, you do not need to create a new dial plan; proceed directly to creating a route. If you need to create a new dial plan, follow the next steps.
2. Click the “Add dial plan” button.
3. The dial plan creation window will open. Enter a title.
4. Set up direct number translation rules (see similar settings for direct number translation rules for gateways).
5. Click the “Save” button to add the dial plan.
