[VoIP] More on the VT1005 Dial Plan

[Doug Alderdice]

I think I finally have it!

It took some studying of the remote telnet console of the VT1005, which 
wasn't easy because it can belch out reams of info at a time and it isn't 
always possible to scroll back to find what you want to see.  These are the 
dial plan lines that work for seven-digit CNET stateside dialing (my 
Asterisk extensions.conf adds the leading '1'), as well as for 011+ dialing 
for the overseas CNET folks:

BTIOPT TeleSipDialPlanEntry[0] = "DIGITMAP:011XXXXXXXXXXXX"
BTIOPT TeleSipDialPlanEntry[0] = "DIGITMAP:[2-9]XXXXXX"
BTIOPT TeleSipDialPlanEntry[0] = "DIGITMAP:*XX"

The third line comes with the sample and allows you access to the *XX 
functions like block CID, call forwarding, etc.

It is really strange the way the VT1005 starts to use a new dial plan, 
though.  It loads the .bin file from the tftp server, and if you query 
through the remote console "TELEsipConfigShow" it'll spit back what it just 
loaded, however it won't necessarily use it right away on your next 
call!  What appeared to happen is that no calls could be placed at 
first.  Dial a zero and get reorder from the ATA.  Dial a digit (not a 
zero) and get reorder, but then on the remote console the ATA then appears 
to process and load the dial plan into memory/working space/whatever.  Next 
call attempt to any number goes through.

The same thing happened when I changed the timeout setting slightly on line 
1.  Next call attempt on line 1 starting with a zero went to 
reorder.  Tried dialing a non-zero digit and got reorder.  Remote console 
belched out dial plan processing progress.  Next call attempt went through 
with the new timing.

FWIW
YMMV
