Irregular Use of Area Codes
Figure 3-12 Irregular Use of Area Codes
Irregular use of area codes occurs when making:
• A long distance call within one area code
• A local call to another area code
You can easily deal with these scenarios (see Figure 3-12 ) by using Admin to modify or add
another dial-up connection. If a prefix number is needed to access an outside line, set the
prefix—the extra keystroke such as a
9
or an
8
—in Window’s Telephony program.
Forcing a Long-Distance Dial-Up Call Using a Local Area Code
1. While Working with Connections , page 41 , click Use Dial-up Networking.
2. In the Connection Name box, you have the option of appending a few words such as
force long distance call
. It makes sense to do so, to avoid confusing
operators of View.
3. Enter the telephone number needed to reach the unit in the Phone Number field,
including country and long distance codes.
4. Leave the Country Code and Area Code (City Code) boxes empty. Steps 4 and 5 trick
Windows Dial-up Networking into making a local call across different area codes.
Click Save and Close. An Add Site/Update Site window appears.
5. Click Close. Look for the Primary Connection column on the Sites tab. The first letter
of dial-up (
d
) appears in parentheses, followed by the telephone number used to
connect to the Multi-Media unit.
Forcing a Local Dial-Up Call Across Area Codes
1. While Working with Connections , page 41 , click Use Dial-up Networking.
2. In the Connection Name box, append a suggestive name such as force local call.
3. Enter only the telephone number needed to reach the unit in the Phone Number box.
