The VCX administrator can configure calling restrictions for some, one, or all the
telephones at a site. These restrictions may limit the outbound calls (external or to
another company site) a telephone can make. Ask your administrator if any calling
restrictions have been implemented on your telephone system.

Making Internal Calls

To dial an internal call:
1 Pick up the handset or press the Speaker button. You hear the dial tone.
2 Dial the extension. Alternatively, you can use the Display Panel to find and dial the
number of the person whom you want to call in the user directory, call logs, or a speed
dial list.
3 When you complete the call, hang up the handset. If you pressed the Speaker button,
press it again to end the call.

Redialing a Call

To redial a number on a 3Com Telephone:

Making External Calls

To dial an external call:
1 Pick up the handset or press the Speaker button. You hear the dial tone. If necessary,
dial the number required to access an external line (for example, 9). If one of the
Access buttons is configured to access an external line directly, you can press that
button.
2 Dial the number or use the display panel to scroll to Placed Calls, Received Calls, or
Missed Calls, or a personal or system-wide speed dial number. If you have
programmed one of the One-Touch buttons, press that button.
3 When you finish speaking, hang up the handset. If you pressed the Speaker button,
press it again to end the call.

Making a Call to a Remote Office

You can dial calls between sites in your organization that are separated geographically
but that are linked by a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection. Each site must have a
VCX system. Typical configurations are described in the following sections.
Using Unique Extensions
In some companies with geographically separated offices, everyone in the entire
organization has a unique telephone extension. Whenever you make a call to an
extension that is not located at your own site, your VCX system sets up a connection to
the VCX system at the other extension's site.
For example, suppose a company has three offices:
Pick up the handset and press Redial to dial the most recent number that you called.
Use the Call Logs on the display panel to redial a recently missed, answered, or
dialed call.
