I have encountered a situation while configuring a PBX. The client has analog (prepaid) phone lines from TKL and for them to dial out they have to dial 0845 then wait to be prompted to dial the desired number. My problem stems from the fact that when this is done with digital phones, the number dialed after the 0845 does not show at all on the phone display and as such, the users at the extns have no way to redial!
I have tried to configure a feature code/short code in the PBX (Avaya IP Office) to circumvent this, by, say, dial 9 with some few secs wait, but I simply can't get around it.
@wash, have you tried to set the 0845 on the trunk settings? That may eliminate the issue..
As in? :-)
Honestly, I don't understand your suggestion, Aki.
Dialplan, if I may call it so, on this IP PBX, uses short codes. I tried to make a feature like:
Short code: 9N Dial 0845,,,N
... that simply did not work! You cannot dial N before you get the voice prompts. These lines don't give you a direct dial tone. You get the tone after 0845.

Wash, On a slight diversion, is the feature you want to achieve available when using an analogue platform either pbx or especially connected direct to a handset?
<Daft question> a) Once 0845 prompts begin is everything sent as DTMF? b) is it possible to redial the DTMF if Qa is true </Daft question>
If there exists a solution please ping me on how you went about it, I appreciate a lot. Thanks in advance.
