Configure Digit Modification for Incoming Calls

To provision Direct Inward Dialing the system takes digits received from the PSTN and modifies them, either by removing (aborbing) digits and inserting others, to form a new number corresponding to an extension, hunt group pilot number or other call destination.

NOTE: DID is available on PowerPC (PPC) platforms platforms only.

To set up digit modification for incoming calls:

  1. Enter the number of Digits to Absorb (if any).

  2. Enter the Digits to Insert.
