About placing calls on the phone____________________________

You can pick up a Strata CS phone and place a call in the same way that you place calls on other
phones. But you can also do much more. For example, you can dial other Strata CS users by
name and use special key combinations to redial your last call or call back your last caller.
Depending on your Strata CS system, you can also place calls over Centrex lines or over the
Internet.
This chapter explains the following aspects of placing Strata CS calls on the phone:
Dialing internal and external numbers
Dialing by name
Placing calls while you are already on a call
Redialing the last number you called, returning the last call that arrived, and disabling
call waiting for a call
Sending a Flash command to Centrex or another PBX
Placing calls to an IP address
For information about placing calls visually by using Strata CS ViewPoint, see

Using a phone other than your own

If you use another user's phone to place calls, you are subject to that user's dialing restrictions,
outgoing Caller ID information, and other settings, and your calls are logged as being from that
user. To make sure that your calls are placed and logged as yourself, do the following:

Note:
If the phone is idle for too long, for example over an hour, you may be logged off
automatically.

Using an IP phone

If you have a voice-over-IP phone, such as a Uniden or Polycom phone, you can place calls with
it as if it was a normal phone.
If you pick up your IP phone to place a call and hear silence instead of a dial tone, it may be
because there are not enough IP trunks configured in the system. If you wait, a dial tone will
begin when a trunk becomes available. If you encounter this or other problems with the IP
phone, see your system administrator, who can check its setup.
