Programming an internal Direct-Dial extension

Compact Plus System Administration Guide
Direct-Dial allows you to dial a designated telephone in your
Compact Plus system or private network with a single digit. The
Direct-Dial digit is the digit you dial to reach an attendant in your
office. You can have one Direct-Dial extension in your Norstar
system. A person whose telephone is a Direct-Dial extension is
usually a receptionist for your entire office or for a particular
department.
The Direct-Dial telephone can send up to 30 messages and can
invoke services to activate the extra-dial telephone.
You can forward calls to a Direct-Dial telephone that is outside
your Modular Plus system if the Direct-Dial configuration is set
to use a routing table or a prime line, where the prime line is set
to Intercom. An example of this, is one of your direct-dial
telephones is configured on another system that is part of a
private network. Even though the telephone is on the private
network, the system considers it an external telephone.
Note that ISDN terminals cannot use the Direct-Dial digit to
reach a Direct-Dial extension.
For information on which telephones can access the Direct-Dial
extension, see 'Assigning telephones to the Direct-Dial
extension' on page 106.
