Star Code Dial Delay (#410)
4
Central offices of some telephone companies support the use of star codes before the dialed
telephone number to obtain special services. For example, in some areas you can dial
*67
to
prevent Caller ID information from being sent to the called party. (Rotary telephones use 11 in
place of the
*
.) Star Code Dial Delay is designed to help prevent misdialing when star codes are
used. For information about the star codes that your central office supports, contact your local
telephone company.
If Star Code Dial Delay is Not Active, the system uses the normal processing of restricted
numbers: it checks, digit by digit, to see whether the number is restricted. If the first digit dialed is a
*
and is not restricted, the call goes through without further checking, since it can no longer
match any number on the list.
If Star Code Dial Delay is Active, the system permits the following star codes:
■
2-digit codes, where the first digit is 0, 1, or 4–9 and the second digit is 0–9 (for example
*6
7
,
*70
)
■
3-digit codes, where the first digit is 2 or 3, the second digit is 0–9, and the third digit is 0–9 (for
example
*210
)
When Star Code Dial Delay is Active, the system checks the first two digits dialed. If the first digit
is a
*
or the first two digits are 11, the system checks whether the following two or three digits are
a star code. If the digits are a recognized star code, the system resets dialing restrictions after
accepting the star code digits. The digits that follow the star code are compared again to the
restrictions.
More than one star code can be dialed at the beginning of a dialing sequence; the system resets to
check dialing restrictions as often as necessary. For example,
*67*705552539
can be dialed to block Caller ID information and to turn off Call Waiting; the system still checks to
see whether the 555-2539 number is restricted.
