Using Dialing Services; Entering Phone Numbers Using Various Types Of Dialing Service - Toshiba Strata CS User Manual

Using dialing services _____________________________________

Dialing services let you place external calls using different phone lines or telecommunication
services. Your Strata CS system administrator may have set up one or more dialing services with
names like "Phone number" or "Chicago Centrex" with access codes of 9 or 8 so that you can
identify it by name in ViewPoint and also easily dial it with your phone.
The dialing services available to you depend on how your system is set up (many systems only
have one dialing service for all phone numbers). Your Strata CS system administrator can tell
you how to choose the appropriate dialing service for the following types of calls:
Local or long-distance calls
!
Calls to a PBX or Centrex extension

Calls to a user on another Strata CS system through an Internet connection

Calls to an IP (Internet) address, such as a Microsoft NetMeeting terminal
