When does a dial peer match?

Excellent information here!

I have a CME connected to an Option 11 via T1 E&M - no tieline or trunk. The CME sends all calls to the opt11 via 4 digit DID.

Here is my quandry:
I have a pots trunk group in the opt11 i need to access from a cisco phone. I have a dial-peer set up to forward to a DID number. When does the dial-peer match and how can i forward additional digits after the match has been made?

example:
dial-peer voice 1 pots
dest-patt 255
no digit strip
prefix 3000,
port 0/1/1:1

The end user is used to dialing 255 to access a group of pots lines to make long distance faxes to avoid entering a spree code. To hit the pots lines, the opt11 needs to recieve 3000 to gain internal dial tone, then 255 to hit the trunk group.

Does the prefix statement make the match & open up dial tone before the 255 is sent? or is there another way to match a dial peer, open up that opt11 dial tone then send the digits to grab that trunk group?

did i just not put in enough commas? =)

Thanks in advance.. pullin my hair out on this one.
 
My guess is not enough commas.

When the user dials 255 it will match the destination-pattern, add the prefix digits, and forward the call. You can check this out using the "debug voice dialpeer all" to make sure you match the correct dial-peer and the "debug ccapi inout" commands to verify the called party is the complete dial-string.
 
Add the command 'foward-digits all' to the dial peer. This should send all the digits to the Opt 11. You may have to add a comma, depending on timing inside the Opt. 11.
