AT&T 1987 AT&T Telephone User Manual


 
REPERTORY DIALING
Description
Allows multiline voice terminal users to store a telephone number, account code, or feature
access code in the system’s memory and associate that number with a REP DIAL button.
Pressing REP DIAL is equivalent to dialing the stored number. Individual numbers can be
up to 28 digits in length.
Programming the number is accomplished from the user’s voice terminal. Programming
procedures and other information can be found in the “Program” feature description.
Should the user attempt to enter more than 28 digits, Reorder Tone will be given.
The user can press REP DIAL under any of the following conditions:
1. When off-hook receiving Dial Tone
2. When off-hook on a call on which more dialed digits are expected
3. When off-hook on a call and connected to an outgoing trunk (End-to-End Signaling
might apply in this case)
4. After pressing ACCT ENTRY.
When REP DIAL is pressed, the button’s status LED lights briefly and then goes dark.
Considerations
Repertory Dialing simplifies dialing long or frequently called numbers, and allows one-
button access to many features.
Interactions
Account Code Entry: An Account Code may be stored on a REP DIAL button. The
REP DIAL button should be pressed at the point where the account code would
normally be dialed.
Calling Restrictions: A user can not use Repertory Dialing to access a number
that he or she is restricted from dialing.
Last Number Dialed (V2): A number called by pressing a REP DIAL button is
saved by the Last Number Dialed feature.
Speed Dialing: Numbers already stored as System Speed Dial numbers can also be
stored as Repertory Dial numbers.
Storing a System Speed Dial code (#100 -#189) on
a REP DIAL button saves memory space (compared to storing the whole number
again on a REP DIAL button).
Virtual Facilities (V2): Virtual Facility codes can be stored on REP DIAL buttons.
