AT&T feature module 2 system manual System Speed Dial

System Speed Dial

DESCRIPTION	The administrator can assign System Speed Dial codes to frequently dialed
	numbers, such as warehouse or branch office numbers or the numbers of
	clients or vendors. The administrator then distributes the list of codes to
	people in the office. People can place a call to one of those numbers quickly,
	by dialing the code ( #60 through #99) or touching the button on which they
	have programmed the code.
CONSIDERATIONS	● System Speed Dial codes may be unmarked or marked. Marked codes are
	particularly useful when the administrator wants to give users access to a
	particular number such as an authorization code for an alternate long-
	distance service but does not want to divulge the number.
		When a person uses an unmarked System Speed code to make a call,
		the Call Report (SMDR) feature prints the telephone number
		represented by the System Speed Dial code, not the code itself, in the
		call report. (See “Call Report. ” )
	If a person uses a marked System Speed code to place a call, the
		telephone number dialed is not recorded by the Call Report feature.
		Instead, the System Speed Dial code (for example, #65) is printed,
		which preserves the confidentiality of access codes and account
		numbers. In order to mark a speed dial code as private, the
		administrator enters a * before the telephone number when he or she
		administers the code.
	● It is sometimes necessary to include a pause, stop, or switchhook flash
	within a dialing sequence, or it may be necessary to switch from rotary to
	Touch-Tone signals. To do so, the administrator must enter the following
	special characters into the dialing sequence. (For more information about
	using special characters in a dialing sequence, see “Special Characters in
	Programmed Dialing Sequences. ” )
	To program a pause, touch Hold.
	To program a stop, touch Drop.
	To program Touch-Tone Enable, touch Transfer.
	To program a switchhook flash, touch Recall and then touch Hold.
