I would like to create a four digit extension that will dial long distance then put in an extension. For example: 91234567890,,1234.,I have a R15 Avaya system. All that I can figure out is the long distance part of the number but cannot put in commas or the 1234 number.
 
Enter the number you want the system to dial when users enter this dial code. While the system
is waiting, a call progress tone receiver is tied up, and, since there are a limited number of
receivers in the system, outgoing calling capability might be impaired.

Digits 0 to 9 Up to 24 characters
* (star) Part of FAC
# (pound) Part of FAC
~p Pause 1.5 seconds
~w Wait for dial tone
~m Change to outpulse DTMF digits at the end-to-end rate
~s Start suppressing display of the digits being outpulsed
~W Wait indefinitely for dial tone. Use this only if network response time is
more than 30 seconds. Not available for S8300 Media Server.
 
I am still a little confused, do you not suggest doing this? If I can do this and I put the number in the coverage remote or vector I can only enter 16 characters and I need more characters to make this work. So I don't know if I can put the number in somewhere else and make it work. I have 16 characters for the number, but I need to add the pause or wait for dial tone.
 
How many total digits do you need? What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

You can get a few more digits out of aar digit conversion.
 
Here is one way to do this:

Step 1 create a VDN with the appropriate COR for long distance that points to a new vector created in step 4. This assumes a 4-digit dial plan.

The next 2 steps are the tricky part. (This is needed because in a vector route to statement you only get 16 digits.)

Step 2. Create an ARS entry for some string that no one would dial. For example 5555555 and make it point to a new route pattern created in step 3.

Step 3. Create a route pattern referenced in step 2 to delete 7 digits and insert the appropriate out-pulsed digits and have it use the appropriate trunk group.

Step 4. Create a vector like this:

01 route-to number 95555555~p~p1234 with cov n if unconditionally

You can always shorten up the 5555555 string by 2 to add an additiona ~p if needed.

Now if you dial the 4 digit vdn you should get the expected results.
 
I am trying to get two different offices to dial each other using 4 digit dialing without additional cost. I will try p08757 way this weekend and see what happens.
