Asterisk Dial Options

The Asterisk Dial Options are defined in two fields:

Asterisk Outbound Trunk Dial Options (for outgoing external calls)

Asterisk Dial Options (for other types of calls)

The system wide settings for these options are defined in the Advanced Settings page under the
Dialplan and Operational section. The values set should be appropriate for the majority of usage in
the system to reduce the need to override them. The default system wide values on the UCx system
are:

Outbound Trunk Dial Options = Tt

Asterisk Dial Options. = Ttr

The system wide values can be overriden in two places by checking the Override box beside the field:

In the Trunk configuration page you can override the values for Asterisk Outbound Trunk Dial
Options
In the Extension configuration page you can override the values for Asterisk Dial Options

Checking the Override box clears the default system wide value and makes the field
editable. Make sure the desired options are entered in the field. If left blank, call features
like Call Park that require the Blind Transfer capability will not work.

Option Description

digits are sent to the called party, and the 'calling' digits are sent to the calling party. Both arguments can
be used alone.
