The UT1000 has a "green" send button, so dial the number, then push
"send". As does the BT100. However, the BT100 can be put in a mode
where it will present the number to the PBX each time you push a digit,
effectively asking "is this a valid number" and if the PBX says no,
the phone waits for another digit... The default time-out on the BT100
is 4 seconds.

These are configurable on the BT100 web interface - to change the
time-out, look for the "No Key Entry timeout" (it's 4 by default), and
to make it present the number on each digit, look for the "Early Dial"
setting which is off by default. (On the advanced settings page)

I've no idea how the Sipura works, but I've got both UT1000 and BT100
phones, although I have to say that I'd never use them in anything
other than a "domestic" setting..

For the most part, with SIP/Soft phones, you need to think the same way
as you do with mobiles - dial then numner into the phone, then get the
phone to present the number to the PBX - usually via a "send" or
"green button", so dial then send, not the other way round.
