To Force A Long-Distance Dial-Up Using A Local Area Code; Forcing A Local Dial-Up Across Area Codes; Dial-Up Technical Note - Honeywell rapid eye System Administrator Manual

Setting up a Connection to a Rapid Eye Unit
Irregular use of area codes occurs when making:
A long distance call within one area code.
A local call to another area code.
You can easily deal with these scenarios (see figure 3–17, above) by using Admin to modify or add
another dial-up connection. If a prefix number is needed to access an outside line, set the prefix—
the extra telephone keystroke such as a "9" or an "8"—in Window's Telephony program.

3. In the Phone Number box, type the telephone number needed to reach the unit, including country
and long distance codes.
4. Leave the Country Code and Area Code (City Code) boxes empty. Steps 4 and 5 fool Windows'
Dial-up Networking into making a local call across different area codes. Click Save and Close. An
"Add Site / Update Site" window is displayed.
5. Click Close. The Sites tab appears In the tab's Primary Connection column, the first letter of "dial-
up" appears in parentheses: (d), followed by the telephone number used to connect to the Multi-
Media unit.
