Outside Auto Dial
DESCRIPTION
You can use the Outside Auto Dial feature to dial frequently used numbers
and codes with one touch. These numbers and codes can include telephone
numbers,
account numbers, and PBX, Centrex, or Custom Calling feature
codes.
CONSIDERATIONS
PROGRAMMING
Whenever instructions tell you to dial an outside number, you can touch an
Outside Auto Dial button instead.
● If your system uses account numbers on printed call reports, you can
program frequently dialed account numbers on Outside Auto Dial buttons.
Then while you have a call in progress for which you need
to dial an
account code, you can dial the code with one touch.
● You can include up to 16 digits and special characters in an Outside Auto
Dial number.
● You may need to program a pause, stop, or switchhook flash into an
Outside Auto Dial sequence, or you may need to switch from rotary to
Touch-Tone signals in the middle of a programmed dialing sequence. To
do so, you must enter the following special characters when you program
the sequence. (For more information about using special characters in a
dialing sequence, see
“Special Characters in Programmed Dialing
Sequences. ” )
To program a pause, touch Hold.
To program a stop, touch Drop.
To program a switchhook flash at the beginning of a programmed
dialing sequence, touch Recall and then touch Hold.
To program Touch-Tone Enable, touch Transfer.
● If your system is set up for Dial Access to Line Pools, a programmed
Outside Auto Dial button number must include a Pool Access code and
two pauses before the telephone number. For example, to program an
Outside Auto Dial button in a system in which you usually dial the access
code 891 before you dial an in-state telephone number, you would dial the
Pool Access code, 891, touch Hold twice, and then dial the 7-digit
telephone number.
To program an Outside Auto Dial button for your voice terminal, label a
button and proceed as follows:
1 Enter programming mode.
2 Touch the button you want to program.
3 Dial *90 and, if required, a Pool Access number and two pauses (touch
Hold twice) plus a telephone number or a PBX or Centrex code (if you
need to include one or more special characters in the dialing sequence, use
the directions under “Considerations” )
4 Leave programming mode.
