Auto Dialing

Description

Auto Dial buttons can be programmed only on system phones.

This Telephone Programming procedure lets system phone users dial outside numbers, extension numbers, or feature codes with a single touch, by pressing a programmed button. If an extension number is stored on an Auto Dial button, the user can dial, signal, or transfer calls to the extension by pressing the button. An Auto Dial number can be stored on any programmable button (a button with no line or pool assigned) on a system phone.

Related Features

■You can use the Auto Dial button instead of dialing the two-digit extension number required for these features: Call Coverage, Call Forwarding/Call Follow-Me, Call Park, Message Light On, Message Light Off, Station Unlock, and Voice Mailbox Transfer.

■To set up a Fax Management button, program the fax extension number on an Auto Dial button with lights. Special light patterns on the Auto Dial button for the fax extension indicate fax machine status. Chapter 4 provides more information about using a Fax Management button. Identify fax extensions using Fax Machine Extensions (#601).

■You can include special functions, such as a Pause, in the Auto Dial number. See Special Dialing Functions for more information.

■An Auto Dial number can begin with a star code; the system automatically inserts a delay based on the Star Code Dial Delay (#410) setting.

Considerations

■If you program an extension number on a button with lights, the lights show calling activity at the extension (see Lights).

■You can connect an Intercom Autodialer to the system phones at extension 10 or 11 to have Auto Dial buttons for all of the extensions in your system.

■Each user can have only one Auto Dial button—either on the system phone or on the Autodialer—for another extension in the system. That button can be programmed for intercom ringing, intercom voice signaling, or manual signaling.

■When programming emergency numbers for Auto Dialing and/or making test calls to those numbers, you should: 1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up and 2)

Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.

■Auto Dial buttons do not override dialing restrictions for an extension.
