Special considerafions
for
dialing
oufside
telephone numbers
When configuring specific fields that contain outside telephone numbers you may
inciude the following special characters as part of the number.
Character What the voice messaging system does
, (comma) Pauses for 1 second during dialing.
; (semi-colon) Pauses for 3 seconds during dialing.
$r (ampersand)
Performs a hookswitch flash (go on hook for onehalf second,
then go off hook). This is commonly used to access special
features on your telephone system.
% (percent sign) Performs a long hookswitch flash (go on hook for 3 seconds,
then off hook again). On most telephone systems, this is
equivalent to hanging up and reinstating a call. On some
telephone systems, this is used for recall.
P (letter P)
Switches to pulse dialing. The voice messaging system uses
tone dialing by default. To use pulse dialing throughout your
system, you must prefii all dialout telephone numbers with
I!
T (letter 7)
Switches to tone dialing. The T option is only used when a
number must be dialed via pulse, then switched midstream
to tone (for example, a credit card call on a pulse exchange).
Dialing outside telephone numbers
If the telephone number specified in a field contains six or more characters, including
special characters, the voice messaging system assumes that it is an outside number
and automatically dials the outdial access code before dialing the number. (The outdial
access code is set up on the Telephone System Setup screen.) If you do not specify an
outdial access code on the Telephone System Setup screen, you must include it in the
field.
