Administering dial-pattern parameters

Last Updated : Jul 17, 2020 |

Procedure

  1. Enter dial-pattern <dialed-string>, where <dialed-string> is a dial pattern to be used on outgoing calls.

    The command line prompt changes to super-sls/dial-pattern <dialed-string>. If you want to remove the incoming routing treatment from the SLS administration, enter exit to leave the second-level dial-pattern context and return to the (super-sls)# context, and then enter clear dial-pattern <dialed-string>.

  2. Enter set type <dial-type>, where <dial-type> specifies the type of outbound call and the dialing privileges available for outbound calls.

    Each level of call includes the previous level’s dialing privileges. For example, locl has the calling privileges of iop, intl, etc.

  3. Enter set max-length <length> to define the maximum length of the dialed string.

    This must be set prior to the minimum length if the minimum length is larger than the default value.

  4. Enter set min-length <length> to define the minimum length of the dialed string.
  5. Enter set tgnum <tgnum> to designate a trunk-group for which this dialed string is assigned.
  6. Enter set deny no to permit stations to originate outgoing trunk calls.
  7. At the command-line enter set insert-digits<digits> to define the digits to insert into a dialed string, if required.
  8. Enter set delete-digits<digits> to define the number of digits to be deleted from a dialed string, if required.
    Note:

    You can either insert or delete digits, but not both.

  9. Enter show to check the outbound dial-pattern string administration.

    The report lists the dial-pattern parameters. For example:

                         Min/Max         Trunk   Delete/Insert
    Dialed-String/Deny   Length   Type   Group   Digits
    ------------------   ------   ----   -----   ----------------------
             5381000/n      9/9   locl       2   1/303
             5385000/n      9/9   locl       3   1/720
  10. Enter exit to leave the dial-pattern context in SLS.
