Programming System Speed Dial Codes - AT&T MERLIN 3070 Administration Manual

PROGRAMMING SYSTEM SPEED DIAL CODES

You can assign System Speed Dial codes to selected telephone numbers and store
them in your system so that people can reach the numbers by dialing the abbreviated
codes. Before programming System Speed Dial codes, please read the following
information and fill out the System Speed Dial Directory in the Appendix.
System Speed Dial codes may be unmarked or marked. Marked codes are very useful
for alternate long distance company numbers, access codes, and other numbers you
may not want everyone in your business to know.
When a person uses an unmarked System Speed Dial code to make a call on
a restricted voice terminal, the telephone number the code represents is sub-
ject to the same outward and toll restrictions as a normally dialed number. Also,
if your system has Station Message Detail Recording, the phone number
represented by the System Speed Dial code, not the code itself, is listed in the
"Number Dialed" field of the SMDR report [see "Administering SMDR (Station
Message Detail Recording) Options," page 59].
If a person makes a call using a marked System Speed Dial code, however, the
restrictions applied to the voice terminal do not apply, unless the voice terminal
is outward-restricted without any allowed lists. An outward-restricted voice ter-
minal with an empty allowed list assigned to it can be used to dial a marked
System Speed Dial code. If the caller uses a marked System Speed Dial Code,
the phone number dialed is not recorded by SMDR. Instead, the System Speed
Dial code (for example, #63) is printed. This preserves the confidentiality of ac-
cess codes and account numbers.
Follow the procedure below to assign System Speed Dial codes.
1. If you have not already done so, enter administration mode by follow-
ing the boxed instructions on page 25.
2. Touch Conference.
The red light next to Adm Tel goes on.
3. Dial 0.
4. Dial the 3-character code (#60 through #99) that you want to assign to
the telephone number.
If you are storing a marked Speed Dial code, dial * after dialing the
5.
Speed Dial code.
6. Dial the telephone number. A number for a marked Speed Dial code
can have a maximum of 39 characters; a number for an unmarked
Speed Dial code can have up to 40 characters. These characters can
include Hold (Pause) for a pause, Drop (Stop) for a stop, Tansfer for
Touch-Tone enable, and Recall for a switchhook flash.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each System Speed Dial code you want
to assign.
8. Touch Conference twice.
