Full Version: T46G Dial Plan & Shortcuts
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello,

We have around 200 T46G's in the field and are trying to do something novel with them regarding our MESHED satellite public safety network. This requires us to use IP calling to dial the phones specific IP address which removed the need for our PBX (resulting in p2p communication).

The deliema is we want the phone user to be able to dial the extension number and have it translated to the IP. With over 200 phones doing this manually in each phone is unreasonable.

We looked at auto-provisioning dial plans for this which worked but the limit of 100 replace rules is insufficient. Is there anyway to create 100's if not 1000's of shortcut's / dial plans in an XML or auto-provisioned way?

Again the goal is to convert extension #'s into IP's at the phone level in the hundreds.

Thank you!
Hi,

Currently phone can only support 100 replace rule.
If you want to create a map between extension and ip address can phone direcotry be used?

Write the extension as name and ip address as number. When you input exntesion phone will search the number.

James

That is our backup plan, we would like something more seamless where when they dial the extension number it directs them to the IP call instead, the replace rule works perfect but at a limit of 100 it won't work. Is that an arbitrary limit we can get changed? Some competitor phones we have a couple of support 10,000 replace rules and can be applied via auto-provision which is perfect, is this something we can do with our 200+ yealink phones with your help? This functionality would sell another 200 - 500 phones.

Are you saying that with the directory function I can dial the extension and it will convert it to the IP? Or are you saying I can search the directory for extension and the IP will show up? If the first is true that will work but I cannot get it to work like that.

Thanks
I send you a message. Please check.

A quick example for you if you are still working on this.

Say your "extensions" map to similar IP addresses:

Ext 123 -- 192.168.0.123
Ext 10 -- 192.168.0.10

Two simple replace rules can cover the dialing patterns you need:

1 Prefix:(xxx) Replace:$1@192.168.0.$1 Line:1
2 Prefix:(xx) Replace:$1@192.168.0.$1 Line:1

So, when you dial 123, the replace rule takes what you dialed (xxx) -> $1 and changes it to a proper SIP address.

Hope this helps!
