[cisco-voip] How to add the # sign at the end of the number?

[Jim Feely]

You don't have to use a # to end dial strings.  On our network, we use
(access code)T for our gateway dial-peers.  In your case, you could use
"0T".  T allows for variable length dialing by waiting for the inter-digit
time out to expire.  By default, the inter-digit time out is set to 10
seconds.  This means that the router waits for more digits until there is a
10 second pause since the last digit press.

The default interdigit time-out feels like a long time when you're dialing.
It can be easily changed in the voice-port for each interface.  I set ours
to 3 seconds and it is working pretty well so far.

If you replace 0!# with 0T you might be able to eliminate the need to insert
a #.

To send all calls that start with 0 to the voip network, we use something
like this:
Dial-peer voice 0 voip
Destination-pattern 0T
Session target RAS

Good luck
Jim

Have you tried a translation pattern, with a called party transform mask 
that appends #, set up in partition that only your Outlook clients can 
call?  (But I didn't know that you could register an Outlook Express 
client to the CallManager - can you send me a reference on that?)
