To allow a Telephone line to make calls within its area code without having to dial the whole number:
- Set the "Long distance dial plan match" to the relevant dial plan(s).
- Set the "Long distance match" configuration setting to something like "(^1|^011|^411$|^911$|^.{10,99}$)". These are numbers to NOT add the area code for.
- Set the "Long distance match uses location callerid" configuration setting to No.
- Under each inbound group set the area code (e.g. "716"). We recommend one inbound group per area code for this reason.
- Note that the numbers in the inbound group must match the area code. So for an area code of "716" all numbers in that inbound group must begin with "716".
- Make sure the telephone's external callerid is set to a number in an inbound group with area code configured.
- Then when you dial a number from the telephone which doesn't match a system route, the area code of the inbound group of the external callerid is prefixed to the dialled number, and that is checked for a system route.
You can also set "Long distance match uses location callerid" set to Yes if you wish to use the location caller ID instead of the external caller ID.
