Anyone know what the route pattern wildards A, B, C, D are used for ?

The docs I've found so far say they're valid characters, but they aren't
listed in the wildcard explanations.

Thanks.

ABCD are touch tones. Generally they are used on CAS trunks and in some
voicemail (OCTEL uses them as part of message transfers between foreign
voicemail) systems. I've also seen them on older H.323 terminals.

They generally aren't used much in most modern systems.

Missing CD for CM Installwell, that doesn't sound nearly as interesting an top secret military stuff, but it looks more accurate.

This is going to sound unnecessary, but A-D are cool to use as prefixes for
your backend lines (CTI ports to IPCC, CTI Route Points, etc..) basically
anything you don't want phones to dial, and you don't want telco to
accidentally assign to you (when you run out of DIDs) and step on some large
chunk of your dial-plan.

So, you make your Voicemail hunt lines, A400-A431 and that way no one can
call them directly, but they can still be used by your vmail hunt pilot...

BTW, just so you know, if you need people to call one of them, just use a
real number on a translation pattern to the one with the DTMF tones
(actually, you are probably better off making it a CTI Route Point with a
CFA to the non-number number...)

A, B, C and D are valid DTMF "digits" with their own tones... imagine
another column of four more keys on the right hand side of your existing
keypad with A - D running top to bottom. This column has its own tone in
the "Dual-Tone Multiple Frequency" setup, and uses the same row tone as that
used by the digits you are already familiar with, combined to make a
dual-tone like every other digit.

They were principally used on the U.S. DOD AUTOVON private telephone network
to signal priority. A call preceded by an A (flash override, the highest
priority) would preempt any calls on congested trunks with lower priorities.
The remaining three digits represented lower levels of priority, and a call
with no digits preceding was deemed "routine" with the lowest priority of
all. Telephone carriers companies used to also use them for various signal
indications back when analog trunks were still fairly prevalent.

Sometimes you will see technician buttsets with A-D keys on them still.
Kinda neat.

Yep, I just tried it with CCM 4.2(3) and it failed horrifically:

"Directory Number contains one or more invalid characters. Valid characters
for Directory Number are
numbers, the letter X, dashes and the following character(s):

* # [ ^ ] + ? !"

I guess all those IPT gurus on this board who keep saying it works never
tried it either...

I tried it on a CTI Route Point and a CTI port...

while technically valid digits, i've never seen them used in
numbers. I suspect digging in Q.24 (dtmf) and/or 464 might give some
indicators of why - maybe not valid routes similar to 10.x.x.x in the
IP world. but enough supposition.

The places I have frequently seen A,B,C, and D are:
transcription machines - there are several transctiption machines
that come with foot petals that send A/B dtmf to scroll forward/
backward in conversation.
OctelNet - octel networking makes heavy use of ABCD
