The ATA has no settings that you control for dial plan. The pause is not bad for 11 and 7 digit dialing. 10 digit is the standard. It should work fine using 7 digits, although I never rely personally on 7.
The ATA does not do the dial plans. It is a back office function. That means a soft phone, a Grandstream, or a Linksys can control the dialing features in the same way.
You can't try a BYOD soft phone until your ATA has registered - but the shipping of the device should not be too long.
I use a 555 shortcut to dial my wife at work. I always dial 555# because it goes faster and is simple to do. That is an outbound routing feature using the Forwarding option. Basically you can have zillions of custom speed dials using 1,2,3,4, ... digit aliases.
