This section describes the rules that apply to configuring and interpreting dial plans. 

NOTE: White space in a dial plan script is ignored, but it may be used for readability.

Each digit sequence within the dial plan consists of a series of elements, which are 
individually matched to the keys pressed by the user. Elements can be one of the following:
  • Individual keys 0, 1, 2 . . . 9, *, #.

  • The letter x matches any one numeric digit (0 .. 9)

  • A subset of keys within brackets (allows ranges): for example, [389] means 3 or 8 or 9)

  – Numeric ranges (n-n) are allowed within the brackets: for example, [2-9] means any 

digit from 2 through 9)

  – Ranges can be combined with other keys: e.g. [235-8*] means 2 or 3 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 

8 or *.

Any element can be repeated zero or more times by appending a period (.) to the element. 
Thus, “01.” matches “0”, “01”, “011”, “0111”, … and so on.

A sub-sequence of keys (possibly empty) can be automatically replaced with a different sub-
sequence using an angle bracket notation: < dialed-subsequence : transmitted-
subsequence >. So, for example, “<8:1650>xxxxxxx” would match “85551212” and transmit 
“16505551212”.

An “outside line” dial tone can be generated within a sequence by appending a comma (,) 
between digits. Thus, the sequence “9, 1xxxxxxxxxx” sounds an “outside line” dial tone after 
the user presses 9, until the 1 is pressed.
