You write out a dialplan, then when you match a pattern in the dial
plan, the Polycom will initiate the call immediately.  This way you can
have 4 digit internal extensions dial immediately, or have it wait for a
long distance or international number.

What all phones does that apply to? I'm fairly certain it applies to the

Polycom phones I've read about, but I'm not sure about others. I'm 
obviously a newbie to the field as well (well, at least to the physical 
phones).

Ah... OK. Sounds like it's similiar to the 3Com VOIP Phones I've worked 
with then... they just relied on a dialplan to tell them when to 
complete the call.

I think the Sipura's will do this too, I just didn't know it....learn
something every day :)

The difficulty is making the phone dial quickly when you dial a three  
or four digit extension number, yet not having it dial so quickly  
that it screws up a user who dials the first four digits of a 10  
digit number and has to look down at a piece of paper to read the  
last 6 digits. It's pretty annoying when that happens and the phone  
has already initiated the call. (I would make the phone wait either  
one or two seconds to match an internal extension.)

On my Sipura there is....I haven't checked one of the polycoms but I
suspect they are no different.

Actually, I never need to press send when dialling numbers from my
polycom phone... well, actually I do, but 99% of people wouldn't... I'll
explain:

My sip phone registers to different SIP servers (all asterisk), and each
server has it's own dialplan, ie, one is purely PSTN calls, and so there
is no leading digit for 'external calls', you just dial the number. One
is a PBX where you need to dial 9 to get an outside line, with 3 digit
extensions. Another is a PBX where you need to dial 0 to get an outside
line, with 4 digit extensions. Also, each PBX system has different
voicemail numbers to get to voicemailmain etc...

So, I don't press send when dialling through my own PBX, but I do if I
am dialling through one of the other systems, since their dialplans are
not catered for in my polycom.

BTW, it would be nice if there was a dialplan for each registration or
line, which would allow me to never press send for any of the systems I
register to:)

Regards,
Adam

Which is where the "dial 9 for an outside line" came from.  Just make
sure no internal extensions start with 9.
