Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) Also called: DNIS

Dialing Exception The rule defined by the Strata CS administrator that tells Strata CS when it should dial the area code of a phone number, and when it should dial the number as a local call. Strata CS invokes these rules whenever it dials a number automatically, such as when a user places a call to a contact or returns a call from a voice mail message.

Dialing service Mechanism for routing outbound calls to the trunk type appropriate for that call. For example, routing phone calls to a normal telephone service trunk, Internet calls to an Internet trunk, and Centrex calls to a Centrex trunk. By default Strata CS comes with one dialing service, Phone Number, that routes all calls to your telephone trunks.

When placing a call, users select the dialing service to use by dialing the access code for that service before dialing the number, for example 9 to place an external call.
