Auto Dialing; Considerations - Avaya PARTNER Installation And Use Manual

Auto Dialing

Use this feature to dial outside numbers, extension numbers, feature codes, or account codes with
a single touch by pressing a programmed button. If an extension number is stored on an Auto Dial
button, the user can dial, signal, or transfer calls to the extension by pressing the button. An Auto
Dial number can be stored on any programmable button (a button with no line or pool assigned)
on a system telephone.

Considerations

You can program an Auto Dial button only on a system telephone.
If you program an extension number on a button with lights, the lights show calling activity at
the extension.
You can connect an Intercom Autodialer to the system telephones at extension 10 and 11 to
have Auto Dial buttons for all of the extensions in your system.
You can have only one Auto Dial button—either on the system telephone or on the
Autodialer—for another extension in the system. You can program that button for intercom
ringing, intercom voice signaling, or manual signaling.
When programming emergency numbers for Auto Dialing and/or making test calls to those
numbers, you should: 1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for
the call before hanging up and 2) Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early
morning or late evening.
Auto Dial buttons do not override dialing restrictions for an extension.
PARTNER-6 telephones have only four buttons available for lines, pools, and/or Auto Dial
numbers.
A combined total of 800 outside Auto Dial and Personal Speed Dial numbers can be
programmed.
For PBX or Centrex systems that require a dial-out code to make calls outside the PBX or
Centrex system, include the dial-out code followed by one or more pauses (if available) on an
Auto Dial button for a number outside the PBX or Centrex system. (See
Support PBX or Centrex Services" on page 3-17
You can use the Auto Dial button instead of dialing the two-digit extension number required
for these features: Call Coverage, Call Forwarding/Call Follow-Me, Call Park, Message
Light On, Message Light Off, Station Unlock, and Voice Mailbox Transfer.
To set up a Fax Management button, program the fax extension number on an Auto Dial
button with lights. Special light patterns on the Auto Dial button for the fax extension indicate
fax machine status. Identify fax extensions using Fax Machine Extensions (#601).
You can include special functions, such as a pause, in the Auto Dial number.
An Auto Dial number can begin with a star code; the system automatically inserts a delay
based on the Star Code Dial Delay (#410) setting.
You cannot use Auto Dialing with Call Screening (F25).
