Auto Dial Numbers

Programming an Auto Dial exten- sion provides one-touch transfer of calls to that extension, and one-touch conferencing.

Programming an Auto Dial exten- sion number onto a button with lights shows the calling activity at the extension.

You can include special functions (such as a Pause or Stop) in the phone number. See p. 3-36.

Description: Use this procedure to program outside telephone numbers or other extension numbers onto buttons for one-touch dialing. Auto Dial numbers do not override the dialing restrictions for the extension.

Considerations:

■You cannot program System and Personal Speed Dial codes as Auto Dial numbers.

■To setup a Fax Management button, program the fax extension (assigned through Fax Management Extensions, #601) as an Auto Dial number on a button with lights. See chapter 7 of the System Manager’s Guide for using the Fax Management button.

Programming Notes: If you program emergency numbers for Auto Dialing, fol- low these guidelines when testing them:
