[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 - Have to press a menu button to dial

[Aaron Daniel]

You have to set up a dialplan.xml file in your tftpboot directory for the 
phone to pull:

<DIALTEMPLATE>
     <TEMPLATE MATCH="9,59....." Timeout="0"/>
     <TEMPLATE MATCH="9,29....." Timeout="0"/>
     <TEMPLATE MATCH="9,832......." Timeout="0"/>
     <TEMPLATE MATCH="9,713......." Timeout="0"/>
     <TEMPLATE MATCH="9,281......." Timeout="0"/>
     <TEMPLATE MATCH="9,903......." Timeout="0"/>
     <TEMPLATE MATCH="\*500" Timeout="0"/>
     <TEMPLATE MATCH="\*54" Timeout="0"/>
     <TEMPLATE MATCH="\*55" Timeout="0"/>
     <TEMPLATE MATCH="\*69" Timeout="0"/>
     <TEMPLATE MATCH="*"            Timeout="5"/> <!-- Anything else -->
</DIALTEMPLATE>


Once you have that, modify your SIPDefault.cnf and add this to it:

dial_template: "dialplan"


And then reboot the phone.  That should fix your dial problems :)

Also, if you want a different dialplan on a per phone basis, you can 
change the name of the file from dialplan.xml to say, local.xml or 
something, and change dial_template to "local" and it'll change per phone.
