There are many different ways
you can place outside calls.
Choose the one which works best
for you. Check with your
Communications Manager to find
out what options are available on your phone.
Following is a list of your options for placing outside calls:
● Pressing a Line Key
Normally, you have line keys on your phone for outside calls.
If you do, you can just press the key to place a call.
● Pressing a Loop Key
If you have a Loop Key, pressing the key will give you the
first available outside line from a preset group of lines.
● Using Line Dial-Up
Line Dial-Up allows you to select a line for an outside call by
dialing the Line Dial-Up code (#9) and a line number (e.g., 01).
● Using Direct Trunk Access
With Direct Trunk Access, you can get a line for an outside
call by dialing the line’s extension number. For example, line
1 is normally line extension number 401.
● Dialing a Trunk Group Access Code
You can place a call on the first available line in a line group
by dialing the group’s number (e.g., 90).
● Line Group Routing
Line Group Routing lets you select a line for an outgoing call
just by dialing 9.
Store and Forward
If your system has Store and Forward, it waits until you have fin-
ished dialing before redialing your call on an outside line. Check
with your Communications Manager to find out if you have Store
and Forward enabled.
