IP Telephony System Appendix C: Dial Plan and Auto-Attendant Scripting for Advanced Users Overview This appendix discusses the dial plan and auto-attendant (aa) features of the System. It also explains how to configure and write scripts for both features. Configuring Dial Plans The System allows each phone line to be configured with a distinct dial plan. The dial plan specifies how to interpret digit sequences dialed by the caller and how to convert those sequences into an outbound dial string.
IP Telephony System Entries include the following: • Individual characters include 0 to 9, *, #. • The letter x matches any single number from 0 to 9. • A subset of keys within brackets represents a range: [set]. For example, [389] means 3 or 8 or 9 • A numeric range is allowed within the brackets: [digit-digit]. For example, [2-9] means 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. • A range can be combined with other keys. For example, [235-8*] means, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, or *.
IP Telephony System (*xx\[3469]11\0\00\[2-9]xxxxxx\1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx.) - This dial plan permits these calls: arbitrary 2-digit star code calls, 311, 411, 611, 911, local operator calls, international operator calls, US local numbers, US 1 + 10-digit long distance number, and all other numbers. Configuring Dial Plans for the Auto-Attendant You can define the dial rule in the dial plan setting and then do the translation in the auto-attendant script.
IP Telephony System Internal Dial Plan When the auto-attendant is enabled, it parses and operates on user input (key presses or DTMF tones) following the rules specified in the auto-attendant dial plan of the System. These rules are specified by the AA Dial Plan parameters found on the Voice - SIP screen of the Web-based Utility. Parameters of the Auto-Attendant Feature The following parameters are the minimum that must be configured. • Contact List.
IP Telephony System The System can store up to 94.5 seconds of audio, excluding the default messages (Prompts 1-4). The maximum length of any message is one minute. The recorded messages will be encoded with G711U and saved in flash memory. Status information for these messages is found in the Auto-Attendant Prompt Status section of the Voice - Info screen of the Web-based Utility. Each message is internally referred to as Prompt x, x being a number ranging from 1 to 10.
IP Telephony System In the menu type, user input can be processed. It is processed according to the dial plan statement associated with the menu and defines what action the auto-attendant executes when the user input matches the dial plan.
IP Telephony System Table 4: Auto-Attendant XML Instructions Set Instruction Description Syntax and Example(s) match Upon a match between the user’s input and the dial plan, the auto-attendant will transfer to the corresponding and execute the corresponding audio and/or action instructions. If the auto-attendant cannot find a match in any of the statements, it will perform the case.

IP Telephony System Appendix D: New Music for the Music-on-Hold Feature Overview The System provides a default internal music file for music-on-hold. This is the music file heard by callers when their calls are placed on hold or in the parking lot (call park feature). You can use a TFTP transfer to replace the default file with your own music file. This appendix describes how to convert your music file to the appropriate format and then configure the System.
IP Telephony System Instructions for Converting the Music File The System only supports the raw G711u format. Follow these instructions to convert your music file to the supported format: 1. Open the music conversion program you use. 2. Convert the music file to this format: • Raw Type - µ-Law • Frequency - 8 kHz • Bits per Sample - 8 Kps • Channels - Mono The music file should be encoded in G711u format at 8000 samples/second.
IP Telephony System For example, if the computer’s local IP address is 192.168.0.5, the directory is named rootdirectory, and the converted music file is named jazzmusic.dat, then tftp://192.168.0.5:69/rootdirectory/jazzmusic.dat should be entered in the Internal Music URL field. (The default port number, 69, is used.) NOTE: Keep the default, imusic, in the Call Park MOH Server field, so the call park feature will use the music file you have downloaded (imusic is the internal music file of the System). 6.
IP Telephony System Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter This section describes how to find the MAC address for your computer’s Ethernet adapter so you can use the MAC address cloning feature of the Router.
