Quick Dial By Number Replacement

The dial number replacement feature simplifies long and complex dial numbers of the device, providing shorter and more user-friendly alternatives for making calls. It allows the substitution of multiple dial numbers, such as IP addresses or SIP numbers, with a single, simplified number.

Set it up on the Intercom > Dial Plan interface. Click Add.

  • Account: Select the dial-out account.

    - Auto: Dial-out using the registered account. When there are 2 registered accounts, Account 1 is the default.

    - Account 1/2: Dial-out using the chosen account.

  • Prefix: Specify a short number to replace the specified dialed numbers.

  • Replace 1/2/3/4/5: Specify up to 5 numbers, which can be SIP numbers or IP addresses, to be replaced by the prefix. All these numbers will be called simultaneously when the caller dials the prefix.

You can also set up the dial plan on the Setting > Replace Rule screen.
