  • Page 45: Dialing Formats

    Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Dialing formats Numbers must be in the canonical dialing format in order for your PDA to use them for dialing. The canonical address format is a universal telephone number format recognized by the WIndows Telephony Application Interface (TAPI). The canonical format identifies the components of a telephone number, which TAPI translates according to a country’s or region’s dialing rules.
  • Page 46 Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Figure 20: Phone details dialog box 553-AAA1529 The following are the components for creating and using canonical dialing numbers: • area code, in the Contacts application • dialing properties, called page 47) Note: Information in the the call.

  • Page 49: Dialing Locations

    Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 The Contacts application prefixes the default area code to numbers you enter in your Contacts application. The PDA attempts to interpret the numbers as canonical. For example: enter a seven-digit number. Contacts assumes that the number is in your area code, and the software adds the area code as a prefix to the seven-digit number to create a canonical number.
  • Page 50 Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Example An end user has a DN on a server located in Atlanta and another DN on a server located in New York. The end user has set up two dialing locations: one named “Atlanta”’, with an area code of 404, and another named “New York”, with an area code of 646.
