I tried a Linksys. It was ok, but I bailed on it quick since the model I
had did not do POE. I also am not interested in dial plans inside phones as
I want to keep the call control and management in a common database. I
belive dial plans belong in the main system and not at the device. Managing
each phone's dial plan sounds like more work than its worth. Reminds me of
the old "KSU-less" phone system offered 20 years ago. Yeech!
You misunderstand completely.
The "dial plan" in a phone defines what pattern of numbers should
automatically send a phone number to the PBX/phone system.
Most phones use some subset of regular expressions to define the number
pattern. Here is an example from a spa841:
*xx|[3469]11|0|00|[2-9]xxxxxx|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|xxxxxxxxxxxx.
The first will match an asterisk followed by two numbers and dial. The
second will match, 411, 611, 911 and 311. For more I suggest you read
about regular expressions and your phone documentation for what subset
of regular expressions it supports if any.
