Star Code Dial Delay (#410)
5-253
Related Features
You can include star codes in Allowed Phone Number Lists and
Disallowed Phone Number Lists.
Star Code Dial Delay settings apply to Auto Dialing, Last Number Redial,
Personal Speed Dial Numbers, Save Number Redial, and System
Speed Dial Numbers.
If Dial Mode (#201) is set to Rotary, star codes are entered by dialing 11
instead of *. If you have users at extensions with Outgoing Call
Restriction (#401) set to Local Only who are calling out on lines with the
Dial Mode (#201) set to Rotary, you should add “11” to an Allowed Phone
Numbers List (#407) and assign the list to these extensions. Otherwise,
when the users at the restricted extensions dial 1 to begin a star code, the
system interprets this as an attempt to place a long-distance call, the call is
blocked, and the user hears the reorder tone.
System Speed Dial Numbers can begin with a star code; the system
automatically inserts a delay based on the Star Code Dial Delay (#410)
setting. To program, enter a Pause followed by the star code and the phone
number. For example, press
h*675551001.
A Marked System Speed Dial Number can also begin with a star code. To
enter it, press
* followed by the star code and the phone number. For
example, press
**675551001.
Considerations
The Star Code Dial Delay is not inserted in manually dialed numbers.
If your Central Office provides the second dial tone immediately, you do not
need the delay provided by Star Code Dial Delay. In this case, choose the
0 setting to enable restriction checking but avoid the delay.
