How do I add a pause in a dialed number in 3CX Phone client?

How do I add a pause in a dialed number so I can access an extension?
In x-lite 4 pause 0.5 sec realised by add symbol "X" or "P", end the string with a ";" semicolon

I'm not sure that you can (although someone may surprise us) as the string is sent out as a whole once the "off hook" key is hit. The string would have to send the phone number as a SIP message, pause, the send the remaining digits as DTMF audio or a SIP DTMF message (depending on settings).

Try inserting 'DD' into the DTMF string. The effect most probably would be inserting a 80 or 160 ms pause.
('D' is one of the 16 DTMF digits: 0123456789*#ABCD; DD would mean dialing nothing). Helps in many cases (latency of gateways and omitting digits).

Sorry,
but no other idea. If Bria is fine, use it for the while.

SIP is generally 'one-stage' dialing (i.e. 'number@sip_server_address'). Second-stage is sending DTMF after being connected.
The BRIA obviously is waiting for connection (the specified time or until connected) and then sends the rest as DTMF.

The trick with 'DD' work when digits are lost in transmission because of slow analog device, typical application -- a PSTN line or device (GSM gateway, etc.) attached to FXO port (e.g. to SPA-3102) -- sending '123456789@spa3102_pstn' results in dialing '3456789' or similar. This is still a 'one-stage' dialing case.

This is different from the case above ('two-stage dialing'), where DTMF is expected after connection, and is client specific functionality.
