I work for a hospital and currently we have 3 floors of patient rooms. Our numbering scheme is a total mess there are did's everywhere and they dont match. I want to take all my patient phones and make them all 5 digits. All patient rooms would begin with a number 4 then the 3 digit room number and then the bed number. So room 200 bed 1 would be 4 + 200 + 1. Instead of giving all the patients DID's (like they have now) im just going to make an automated system that transfers them to the extension. I have made a test vector and it works great but I want to eliminate the need for them to dial the 4 first is there anyway I can have a vector insert a digit? So in the recording I can just say please enter the room and bed number? So if they enter 2001 for room 200 bed 1 the vector would automatically throw a 4 infront of it for them?

you can do it if you have UDP (uniform dialplan)...
change dialplan analysis (older versions: change dialplan)

Dialed String: 2
Total Length: 4
Call Type: ext

change uniform-dialplan 0
(this command varies in syntax from version to version)

Matching patten: 2
Len: 4
Del: 0
Insert Digits: 4
Net: ext
Conv: n
Node Num: (blank)

when someone dials 2xxx, it will check the UDP and insert the 4. This will also work for "route-to digits" in your vector.

What version are you running? I based this on CM 2.1
