Directory Services
There are two types of Directory Service provided that prompt callers to the Auto Attendant with
a list of names and extension numbers.
The first is the “Simple Directory Service” and the other the “Dial-by-name service”. Only one of
the services can be activated on the system.
Simple Directory Service
This is a service where a greeting is recorded on site listing names and their extension numbers.
When the directory message is recorded you can access it by dialling # when listening to the Auto
Attendant greeting.
If you dial # and there is no directory message recorded, the call is presented to the group or
extension programmed for the line in the Incoming Ringing programming. See page 53
Recording the directory message automatically activates the service. You must record a new Auto
Attendant greeting to prompt users to dial # for the directory once you have recorded the directory
message.
