Related Features
Direct Extension Dial affects incoming calls only on lines identified using
Direct Extension Dial Lines (#205).
You must program a button with lights on the system display phone at
extension 10 to turn Direct Extension Dial on and off. Use Direct
Extension Dial Button (#113) to program the button.
Calls that ring on lines programmed with Direct Extension Dial are picked
up after two rings, as a default. To change the number of rings, use Direct
Extension Dial Delay (#112).
You can set SMDR Talk Time (#611) to Active to include the Talk field on
call reports. For an incoming outside call answered by Direct Extension
Dial, this field shows the call duration minus the time the greeting played
and the caller waited for someone to answer the call.
