Programming Special Characters - AT&T MERLIN LEGEND Release 3.0 System Programming Manual

Programming Special
Characters
This appendix provides the special characters used in dialing sequences for
numbers dialed automatically. The characters allowed depend on the type of
telephone. Ask your system manager which special characters are needed and
when to use them.
Single-Line Telephones
Some dialing sequences need special characters. For example, you would
press and release either the Recall or Flash button or the switchhook to insert a
pause in a dialing sequence after a dial-out code to allow the system to seize an
outside line before dialing the number.
