Feature Reference
Description
The Directory feature is a built-in, interactive telephone book that stores listings
of names and telephone or extension numbers. People with MLX display
telephones can dial numbers by selecting listings from the display.
Directory listings are divided into three types:
System Directory. Names and numbers of outside contacts (such as
clients and suppliers). These listings are created in system programming
and are assigned System Speed Dial codes to allow users with
telephones other than MLX display telephones to dial these listings in the
directory. See "Speed Dial" for details.
Extension Directory (MLX display telephones only). System extensions
and the names of the users assigned to them. This directory can only be
accessed with a name. Names are added to the directory by using the
Labeling feature of system programming.
Personal Directory (MLX-20L telephones only). Individual users' listings
of names and numbers (outside telephone numbers and extensions).
This directory is accessible only at the extension where it was created (or
through system programming).
System Directory
System Directory listings are established and changed only through system
programming using the Labeling feature. Each listing consists of a 3-digit
Speed Dial number, an 11-character name field, and a 40-digit number field. Up
to 130 listings are stored. Any listing can be specifically designated to suppress
the display of a confidential number. When dialing a number designated or
marked in this way, users see only the System Speed Dial code associated with
the listing. A marked System Speed Dial code can be identified in the System
Directory Report by an asterisk preceding the telephone number.
When a marked System Speed Dial code is used to dial a number, any calling
restrictions associated with that number (such as outward or toll restrictions) are
overridden. Marked System Speed Dial does not override Automatic Route
Selection restrictions.
Special characters may be needed when programming System Speed Dial
codes. Each of these characters counts as one of the 40 digits allowed in the
telephone number. For information on special characters and their meanings,
see Appendix G, "Programming Special Characters."
A user can access the System Directory by lifting the handset or pressing the
Speaker button, pressing the Feature button, and dialing a 3-digit System
Speed Dial code. If the System Speed Dial code is associated with a telephone
number that begins with a dial-out code (usually ), the user must be using an
