120 Dialing

Dialing
One of the most important features of your telephone system is
the ability to dial telephone numbers. Many features require you
to dial telephone numbers. The displays associated with dialing
are listed here.
Note:
When dialing telephone numbers keep in mind that if there is a
10 second pause between dialing one digit and the next, the call
will be cancelled by the system. You must reenter the dialing
sequence from the beginning.
Direct-Dial
You can dial a Direct-Dial telephone with a single digit. The
Direct-Dial telephone is usually in a central location, such as a
receptionist's or secretary's desk. It is usually a Prime telephone
with a Central Answering Position (CAP) module.
Your Customer Service representative assigns the Direct-Dial
digit in Configuration programming.
External line access code
The external line access code is the number you dial to get an
external line. You will need to use an external line access code if
your Prime line is an internal line. The code will connect you to a
line pool through your internal line.
If your Prime line is an external line, or if you select an external
line on your telephone, you will not need an external line access
code. You will always need an external line access code on an
Telephone.
Your Customer Service representative assigns the external line
access code in Configuration programming.
