Directory

The DSU's dial backup Directory (Dir) can store up to ten telephone numbers (dial strings) so the DBM can call other DBMs. Directory entries are numbered from 1 to 10. Each dial string in the directory can be up to 36 characters in length. Refer to Table 4-6 for numbers and characters that can be used.

When the dial string or changes are complete, enter an underscore ( _ ) to the immediate right of the last character; this ends the dial string field.
