" + " sign in VoIP

[waimen]

Hi All,

Does anybody know the "+ " sign in the "destination-pattern " in VoIP command? I saw a doc of cisco yesterday that use router 1 and router 2 as a VoIP example as follow:

PSTN--R2--R1--FXS

in R1 use "dial-peer voice 1 voip"and R2 use "dial-peer voice 1 pots ". and the destination-patten in R1 is 1408 and in R2 is +1408. Why in R2 add a "+ " sign? I used to work in telecom and in telecom the "+ " means an IDD prefix. Does it have a different meaning in VoIP of cisco? Can anybody give me idea? Thank You!

to my understanding it means some leading digits are used like for international dialing we have to dial 00 so this "+" represents it. just a thought....

+ indicates that preceding digit occured one or more times .

408 525+ , 4052 followed by 5 repeated one or more time .
