Uning number expansion to shorten inter-digit timout delay.

[tmoffett]

Hi,

I am looking into using number expansion on a 3600 voice gateway to append a # to the digits being sent to a pots peer. We have a 2 stage dialing scenario with variable length international calls.

Without the following entries, the gateway sends the international number to the pots interface and the inter-digit timer must expire before the digits are sent.

I understand that the expansion is global. Other than that, are there any other reasons to avoid this method?

Here's the Num-exp entries:

num-exp 011........ 011........#

num-exp 011......... 011.........#

num-exp 011.......... 011..........#

num-exp 011........... 011...........#

num-exp 011............ 011............#

num-exp 011............. 011.............#

num-exp 011.............. 011..............#

num-exp 011............... 011...............#

num-exp 011................ 011................#

num-exp 011................. 011.................#

num-exp 011.................. 011..................#

num-exp 011................... 011...................#

num-exp 011.................... 011....................#

num-exp 011..................... 011.....................#
