Repertory Dialing (Repdial)

The Repertory Dialing feature lets you set up each repdial (R-) key on your faceplate for one-touch dial- ing of an extension, an outside number, a feature access code, or a combination of numbers and feature access codes.

For example, you can set up a repdial key to dial a fre- quently called telephone number together with the account number to which you always want to charge such calls. You might set up another repdial key to forward incoming calls to the same number every time.

The dialing sequence saved in a repdial key may in- clude up to 22 characters. You can also press a feature key, which counts as three characters, as part of the sequence. For example, you might enter your Phone- Mail extension and then press the MUTE key as the next part of the sequence. This would prevent office noise from interrupting your PhoneMail messages.

On CBX Releases 9006.2 and higher, you can press the Hold key once to enter a time delay into a repdial sequence. For example, a delay may be needed to process a call placed through a specialized common carrier. On display phones, a delay appears as a “D.” The delay is normally configured as two seconds, but check with your CBX system administrator to deter- mine the length of time it is set for in your system. You can enter multiple delays in a repdial sequence, but each delay takes up 3 characters of the 22 allowed.
