CHAPTER 8
Abbreviated Dialing
Abbreviated Dialing is the use of 'Short Codes' (abbreviated numbers) to dial out long-digit numbers. It is also
referred to as the Memory Dialing. Abbreviated Dialing allows you to dial frequently used long-digit numbers quickly
and easily.
This feature requires you to store the frequently called, long-digit numbers and their corresponding short codes in
special lists, known as the 'Directories'. These directories may be 'Personal' or 'Global'.
VISIONPRO supports two types of Abbreviated Dialing based on the type of the directory used,
•
Personal Abbreviated Dialing
•
Global Abbreviated Dialing
Personal Abbreviated Dialing
Personal Abbreviated Dialing makes use of the Personal Directory.
Each station user is assigned a single Personal Directory. A maximum of 10 numbers can be stored in each
Personal Directory. Each number is stored at a separate location (memory index). These numbers are dialed out
using Access Codes 800-809. Here, 8 is the feature access code for Memory Dialing and 00-09 are the location
codes for Personal Abbreviated Dialing.
The system checks Trunk Access Group and Toll Control assigned to the user before dialing the Personal Directory
number.
•
Each station user can access only the Personal Directory assigned to it.
•
Personal Directory can be configured by the System Engineer, as well as station users. Station users
can add contacts only to the Personal Directory assigned to them.
Global Abbreviated Dialing
Global Abbreviated Dialing makes use of a system-wide list of numbers stored in the memory of VISIONPRO,
referred to as the Global Directory. Global Directory can be programmed either by the System Engineer or the
System Administrator.
