Timeouts
The phone dial patterns work in conjunction with the values set for "Dial Now Timeout"
Dial Entry Timeout - how long the phone waits for additional digits before dialing where there is one or more possible matches. Use 0 to wait forever.
Dial Now Timeout - how long the phone waits for additional digits before dialing where there is an exact match to a single pattern. Setting this to 0 does not mean it will wait forever, it will dial immediately with 0 delay.
