The stored telephone number is dialed automatically.
Notes:
•If you find that you are frequently dialing the same numbers, add them to your personal Speed Call list in the Scratch Pad. For more information, see page 40. You can also use the Bulletin Board to store speed call numbers for use by all attendants. For more information, see page 27.
•Programming system speed call numbers is done by your communications department and cannot be done from the console.
Tone Signaling
You may have noticed that when you dial a number at your console, you don’t hear any of the tones or pulses normally associated with telephones. This is because your console ‘communicates’ with the rest of your telephone system with different types of signals. However, there are times when you need to send tones in order to complete your call. Typically, special services such as voicemail require passwords or other information in the form of tones before allowing access.
To generate tones
Once the connection is made and you are prompted to enter digits:
1.Press Tones.
The Tones indicator in the Console Status area appears dimmed when tone signaling is turned off.
2.Dial the code.
To turn off tone signaling
•Press Release
to disconnect your console from the call. Tone signaling stops automatically.
Or
•Press Tones again to turn off the tones.
