Direct Extension Dial Button (#113)

Use this feature to program a button to turn Direct Extension Dial (DXD) on and off. Direct
Extension Dial permits an outside caller to dial an extension or Hunt Group directly, without the
aid of the operator. With Release 3.0 or later, DXD calls also can be transferred directly into a
Calling Group. It is ideal for outside callers who frequently talk with specific employees or service
groups and know the extension number they are trying to reach. When an outside call rings on a
line programmed with Direct Extension Dial, the system picks it up after a specified number of
rings and plays a short message prompting the caller to dial the digits of the designated extension,
Hunt Group, or Calling Group.
