Directory Block
Description
A Directory Block defines necessary information about how the system Dial-by-Name Directory will function. Note
that in order for the directory feature to work the included subscribers must have recorded their names and entered
DTMF values for them.
This information includes the maximum number of digits the caller may enter to search for an individual's name, the
maximum number of names matching the caller's entry, and also, whether or not to speak the extension number of
the matching name to the called party. The directory will search on extensions first, if no match is found then it will
search mailboxes.
Directory The name of this block. A Block name can be any alphanumeric string up to 16 characters long (including
spaces). A Block name may not be the same as another Block name.
Input Controls
Maximum Entry Digits The maximum number of digits the caller may enter, to search for the target, the caller is
trying to locate. This is usually set to three because most people's names do not have the same first three letters.
This number can be between 1 and 10.
Wait For First Digit This is the amount of time, in seconds, the system waits for the caller to enter the first digit.
Wait For Subsequent Digits The amount of time, in seconds, the system waits for the caller to enter the digits fol-
lowing his first entry digit.
Repeat Prompts If No Entry The number of times the system repeats prompts if the caller does not enter any digits.
Retries If No Match This is the maximum number of names a caller may enter if no match is found on the digits
the caller entered. If this occurs, it is considered an INVALID entry.
