Using Special Characters In Programmed Dialing Sequences - AT&T MERLIN 3070 Administration Manual

USING SPECIAL CHARACTERS IN PROGRAMMED DIALING SEQUENCES

Special characters (pause, stop, and switchhook flash) are useful in programming
PBX/Centrex features onto programmable feature buttons, or in programming special
telephone numbers onto Outside Auto Dial buttons. These characters are counted
as part of the 16-digit maximum you can store on Outside Auto Dial buttons and Per-
sonal Speed Dial codes. If you are programming special characters for the first time,
please read the following information.
If your PBX/Centrex system requires dialing a 9 or another outside access code.
to get an outside line, program a pause after the 9 on your Outside Auto Dial
button. (You may need two or three pauses depending on how quickly your
PBX/Centrex system returns a dial tone following the 9.)
You may need to program an automatic stop when you dial an alternate long
distance service sequence or dial a credit card authorization code.
When using an Auto DiaI button or a Personal Speed Dial code with a stop,
resume the dialing sequence by touching the Auto Dial button or dialing the Per-
sonal Speed Dial code again after reaching the stop.
Whenever your PBX/Centrex procedure calls for a switchhook flash, touch
Recall instead. Program PBX/Centrex features that call for a switchhook flash
onto a button or special Personal Speed Dial code for one-touch convenience.
