Directories
names and telephone or extension numbers. People with MLX display telephones
can dial numbers by selecting listings from the display.
Directory listings are divided into three types:
■
System Directory. Names and numbers of outside contacts (such as
clients and suppliers). These listings are created in system programming
and are assigned System Speed Dial codes to allow users with telephones
other than MLX display telephones to dial these listings in the directory.
See
for details.
■
Extension Directory (MLX display telephones only). System extensions
and the names of the users assigned to them. This directory can be
accessed only with a name. Names are added to the directory by using the
Labeling feature of system programming.
■
Personal Directory (MLX-20L telephones only). Individual users’ listings
of names and numbers, that is, outside telephone numbers and
extensions. This directory is accessible only at the extension where it was
created or through system programming.

System Directory listings are established and changed only through system
programming using the Labeling feature. Each listing consists of a 3-digit Speed
Dial number, an 11-character name field, and a 40-digit number field. Up to 130
listings are stored. Any listing can be specifically designated to suppress the
display of a confidential number. When dialing a number designated or
marked
in
this way, users see only the System Speed Dial code associated with the listing. A
marked System Speed Dial code can be identified in the System Directory Report
by an asterisk preceding the telephone number.
When a marked System Speed Dial code is used to dial a number, any calling
restrictions associated with that number (such as outward or toll restrictions) are
overridden. Marked System Speed Dial does not override Automatic Route
Selection restrictions.
Special characters may be needed during programming of System Speed Dial
codes. Each of these characters counts as one of the 40 digits allowed in the
telephone number. For information about special characters and their meanings,
see Appendix H, “Programming Special Characters.”
Access the System Directory by lifting the handset or pressing the Speaker
button, pressing the Feature button, and dialing a 3-digit System Speed Dial
code. If the System Speed Dial code is associated with a telephone number that
begins with a dial-out code (usually
9
), you must use an SA or ICOM button. If the
associated telephone number does not begin with a dial-out code, you must use
an outside line button.
