Auto Dial buttons are used for one-touch dialing of frequently called numbers.
Two types of Auto Dial buttons can be programmed:
Inside Auto Dial button is used for any station or group extension in the dial
plan (such as co-workers, calling group, or fax machines), a paging group
extension, or a calling group extension. A system operator can also program
an inside Auto Dial button for the extension number for a park zone.
Outside Auto Dial button is used not only for frequently called telephone
numbers but also for numbers such as account codes, long-distance
company access codes, bank access codes, or emergency contact
numbers. A maximum of 28 digits can be programmed, which allows
customers using AT&T International Service or a different vendor for regular
toll service to program all required codes on an Auto Dial button.
When an inside Auto Dial button is programmed, the user can see the status of
the extension associated with the button: the green LED next to the button is on
when a person at the extension is on a call or using Do Not Disturb.
In the Hybrid/PBX mode, to make an inside or outside call by using an Auto Dial
button, the user presses the Auto Dial button without lifting the handset. A
System Access button is selected automatically (if the user has a
speakerphone, it goes on automatically) and the programmed number is dialed.
In the Key and Behind Switch modes, to make a ringing inside call or an outside
call by using an Auto Dial button, the user presses the Auto Dial button without
lifting the handset. An Intercom Ring button is selected when an inside Auto Dial
button is pressed, and a Personal Line Access button is selected automatically
when an outside Auto Dial button is pressed. if the user has a speakerphone, it
goes on automatically, and the programmed number is dialed. To make a voice-
announced inside call by using an inside Auto Dial button, the user preselects
an Intercom Voice button and presses the inside Auto Dial button without lifting
the handset. If the user has a speakerphone, it goes on automatically, and the
programmed extension is dialed.
Note: Emergency numbers and other numbers should be tested during off-peak
hours, such as early morning or late evening. The user should remain on the line
and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.
