Initializing Cisco Unified IP Phones
Using the Backward-Slash (\) and Asterisk (*) Characters
The following example uses the backward slash (\) and asterisk (*) as a dialed digit:
<DIALTEMPLATE>
</DIALTEMPLATE>
If you use the backslash (\) on a character other than the asterisk (*), the \ is ignored and the \\ character
is matched. If you need to explicitly specify the \ character in a dial plan, use \\. The \ is not sent out as
part of the dialed digit string because the phone removes it before sending the dial string.
Note
Specifying a Secondary Dial Tone
The following example specifies two different tones:
<DIALTEMPLATE>
</DIALTEMPLATE>
How to Verify Initialization

network.
