You will get an inside dial tone when you lift your telephone handset unless your extension has been spe- cially set up otherwise. Once you have an inside line dial tone, to get an outside line:
1.Pick up any phone or otherwise get an inside line dial tone.
2.Dial 
9 
.
Note You will get a busy signal if you dial 
9 
and all of the outside lines connected to your system are busy.
Your NexPath Telephony Server can be programmed to block dialing specific area codes from specific phones or groups of phones. If you try to dial an area code that has been blocked on the phone you are using, you will be disconnected and hear an error message, then get an inside dial tone.
On the other hand, your system administrator can assign you your own set of area code lockouts and permis- sions. To override the area code lockouts on a particular phone with the area code permissions you have been assigned personally:
1.Pick up any phone or otherwise get an inside line dial tone.
2.Enter 
# 
3 
. The system will ask you for your password.
3.Enter your password.
4.If your password was accepted, you will get a voice prompt and another inside dial tone.
5.Enter 
9 
.
6.After receiving an outside dial tone, dial the long distance number desired.
Check with your system administrator to determine the area code lockouts and permissions in place in your system.
Note Each inside line can be programmed by your system administrator to seize a different group of outside lines when 
9 
is dialed. You can seize a particular outside line by dialing the outside line extension number.
