Operation With A Parent Pabx; To Program Pabx Access Digits - Mitel 3000 Administrator's Manual

OPERATION WITH A PARENT PABX

You can connect the Mitel 3000 to a parent PABX via its Line interfaces.
You can program any of the eleven Outgoing Groups to work with a parent PABX. When
programming the Outgoing Groups as PABX groups, PABX access digits and the number of
digits in a PABX extension number are entered. The PABX access digits are the digits that
must be dialled to select an exchange Line in the parent PABX. (You can have a maximum of
two PABX access digits).
If you wish to make an external call via the parent PABX, you must select a line connected to
the PABX, placing the access digit(s) before the external number you require. If you wish to
make a call to a parent PABX extension, you must select a Line connected to the PABX and
dial the extension number without any access digit(s).
Note: The system will take the access digits into account in deciding whether the extension is
restricted from making the call according to its Class of Service, that is, an extension prevented
from making external calls will be also prevented from making external calls through the parent
PABX.
Both external numbers and PABX extension numbers may be entered into Personal and
System Speed Dial lists. When a speed dial number is selected for dialling, the system checks
whether the number is a PABX extension by checking the number of digits against the
programmed extension number length. If it is a PABX extension the system selects a PABX
Group and if a Line is free dials the digits. If the selected number is an external number, the
system attempts to select an exchange Line. If one is available, it dials the number without
inserting the access digits. If an exchange Line is not available a free PABX Line is selected
and the access digits are automatically inserted.
If Redial is activated the number is redialled on the same group on which the original call
was made.
