Creating Directory Entries
o You can use spaces, hyphens, periods, and
parentheses to separate groups of numbers,
making them easier to read. These characters
are ignored during dialing.
o It is not necessary to separate groups of
numbers.
Telephone Manager provides a set of special dialing
characters that let you place calls through PBX or
business communications equipment. Other characters
also let you enter alphabetic telephone numbers and set
up redirection dialing. These special characters and
the procedures to set up them up are described later in
this chapter, under "Using Special Dialing Characters."
Alternate #
This optional field lets you enter an alternate
telephone number. If someone gives you both a business
and home number, for example, you might enter the
business number in the Phone # field, and the home
number in the Alternate # field.
The number entered for the Alternate # field follows
the same rules given for Phone #. Only the first 17
characters entered in this field appear in the Call
screen or Directory.
Data Profile Name
This field lets you specify the name of the data
profile, the name of the communications application the
profile uses, and the profile type, as shown below:
9600bps
You can use an existing data profile from your Profiles
folder, modify an existing profile, or create a new
profile:
o If you want to use an existing data profile,
press <Mark> until the name appears for the
profile you want to use.
