The sequence of steps in placing a call are as follows:
1. The caller dials
59111
.
2. PBX A connects to Node 1 Port 4, and the caller hears a dial tone.
3. The caller dials
2559333
.
4. Node 1 translates speed dial number
25
to long digits
000215
, connects to PBX B
through Node 2 Port 5, and sends along the user-dialed extended digits
59333
after
a 1-second delay.
5. PBX B connects with Node 3, and the caller hears a dial tone.
6. The caller dials
447777
.
7. Node 3 translates speed dial number
44
to long digits
000414
, connects to PBX C
through Node 4 Port 4, and sends along the user-dialed extended digits
7777
after
a 1-second delay.
8. PBX C connects the caller to phone
7777
, which rings.
Variable-Length Dialing
The SmartSwitch 1800 supports variable length dialing using the
Dial Timer
parameter
in Voice Port configuration (page 13-8). Variable-length dialing allows the user to
place a call without entering the configured number of digits for the speed dial
number. Variable-length dialing can be disabled by setting the
Dial Timer
to zero.
When this parameter is set to a value greater than zero, the timer is started when the
SmartSwitch receives the first dial digit from the attached equipment and the digit is
not the long-form calling
Long Dial Prefix
(also configured in the Voice Port record).
If the timer decrements to zero with no new digit entries, the SmartSwitch will assume
that dialing is complete, and will pad the digit entries with leading zeros to the length
of the configured
Dial Digits
(see page 13-3). For example, if the configured number
of dial digits is four, and the user enters
33
and lets the dial timer expire, the
33
will be
converted to
0033
. This number will then be used to perform a look-up in the map
table, rather than the SmartSwitch using the actual digits dialed by the user.
Note that regardless of the
Dial Timer
setting, the following conditions and configura-
tions will disable variable-length dialing:
1. Long-call-format dialing is being used. The SmartSwitch 1800 assumes this
format is being used if the first digit dialed is the character configured for
Long
Call Prefix
.
