AT&T UNIX Telephone Manager User Manual page 41

Using the Telephone
You can use the telephone connected to your
UNIX
PC as
you use any other telephone, but you will find that
Telephone Manager lets you use your telephone more
efficiently.
Telephone Manager displays screen keys that help you
manage your calls by letting you place a calIon hold,
disconnect a call, select the other telephone line, and
redial the last number.
Additionally, when you place a call from your computer,
you are given the option of taking notes on the call.
The call is also logged, so you have a record of the
date, time, number called, and length of the call.
This chapter shows you how to place a call from your
computer using the keyboard and explains how to take
notes. It also shows you how to use the REDIAL, HOLD,
and HANGUP screen keys.
Arrange to make some practice calls with another
UNIX
PC user, or read through this chapter and use the
information to place a call you were planning to make
anyway.
Placing a Call from the Keyboard
One way to dial a call using Telephone Manager is to
type the telephone number at the keyboard. Try this
now:
> If Telephone Manager is not already open,
select
I
Telephone
I
from the Office and press
<Enter>.
You see the Call screen.
> Type a telephone number using the number keys
on the top row of the alphanumeric keyboard.
If you are dialing from an office telephone system
(PBX), a line access number and a + preceding a
telephone number gain access to the outside line.
