Enhanced Local Dialing

The 4610SW, 4620/4620SW, 4621SW, 4622SW, 4625SW, and 4630/4630SW have a variety of telephony-related applications (e.g., Speed Dial, Call Log, Web Browser, etc.). These applications might obtain a telephone number during operation. For example, the Call Log saves an incoming caller’s number, while the Web browser might obtain a dialable link from a corporate Web site. Before Release 1.8 software, when the user indicated a desire to call one of these incoming numbers, the 4610SW/4620/4620SW/4630/4630SW would first require the user to edit the number, generally by prepending digits to account for dial access codes, country codes if applicable, etc.

As of Release 1.8, the 4610SW/4620/4620SW/4630/4630SW can evaluate a raw telephone number. This is also true of the 4621SW, 4622SW, and 4625SW as of Release 2.2. Based on administered parameters, the telephone can automatically prepend the correct digits, saving the user time and effort. This is the “Enhanced Dialing” feature. The key to this feature’s success is accurate administration of several important values. Table 12 summarizes these values and their meanings. That information is expanded upon in this section.

Note:

In all cases, the values you administer are the values relevant to the Avaya Media Server’s location at which the IP telephones are registered. If a telephone is in Japan, but its media server is in the United States, set the PHNCC value to “1" for the United States.

In all cases, the digits the phones insert and dial are subject to standard Avaya Media Server features and administration. This includes Class of Service (COS), Class of Restriction (COR), Automatic Route Selection (ARS), etc.

As indicated in Table 10, you can administer the system parameter
