LAST NUMBER DIALED (V2)

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

Automatically

saves the last

number dialed from a multiline voice terminal and allows the

user to

place

the call

again

without

redialing the number.

The feature is

administered to a

button

on the

terminal.

Both

inside

and outside calls can

be made in this

way. The original

call can be placed by manual dialing, by operation of a programmed button, or by speed dialing.

To use the feature, the caller first gets dial tone, and then presses the Last Number Dialed button. The I-use and status LEDs of the button selected for originating the call (for example, System Access, Loop, or Personal Line) light steadily; if the Last Number Dialed button has an LED, it lights momentarily. The call proceeds in the normal way. The number associated with the Last Number Dialed button remains saved even if the called party answers. Only the dialing of a new number changes the state of the Last Number Dialed button; the old number is then erased and the new one stored.

Considerations

 

Last Number Dialed is a convenience feature

that is especially valuable for recalling multi-

digit numbers that were first dialed manually

from a terminal’s pushbutton dial. However,

the feature can also be used to recall numbers

originally called by the following means:

Repertory Dial buttons.

Group Select and DXS buttons on a Selector Console. This feature saves numbers with up to 16 digits.

The user must hear dial tone before pressing the Last Number Dialed button.

The Last Number Dialed feature cannot be activated by dialing an access code. It is not available to users of single-line voice terminals.

If

a dialed number does not complete

a

call,

Last Number Dialed still stores the digits dialed.

If

the user presses the Last Number

Dialed

button, then dials additional digits to complete

the

call, both the currently stored digits

and

the dialed digits will be stored.

Interactions

Account Code Entry: Last Number Dialed does not save an Account Code dialed by operation of an Account Code Entry button.

Attendant Display: When a call is placed at a Switched Loop Attendant Console

(V2), using the Last Number Dialed button, the call information display has the normal format of an outgoing call. In the Inspect mode, pressing the Last Number Dialed button displays the number currently stored on the button.

Automatic Intercom: Numbers called using an Automatic Intercom button are not saved by the Last Number Dialed feature. The number currently stored by Last Number Dialed is not changed by operations of the Automatic Intercom button.
