Making Calls
Description
A user can make a call by dialing an outside phone number or an extension
number. There are also several ways to
speed dial a number—see “Related
Features” below.
Related Features
You can store an outside number, an intercom number, or a feature code on
a button, so a user can dial the number with a single touch. For information
about programming and using Auto Dial buttons, see
Auto Dialing
.
You can program outside numbers for one extension or for the entire
system, so a user can dial a number by pressing
f
(or
#
on a
standard phone) plus a two- or three-digit code (80–99 for Personal Speed
Dial numbers, 600–699 for System Speed Dial numbers). For more
information, see
Personal Speed Dial Numbers and System Speed Dial
Numbers .
If a user lifts the handset before pressing a line button, the system
automatically selects the first available outside line or the intercom. The
order in which the system makes the selection is determined by the
Automatic Line Selection for the extension.
On either a system phone or a standard phone, users also can use Direct
Line Pickup—Idle Line
to access a line for making an outside call.
Users can ring or page any of four Calling Groups. For more information,
see
Group Calling—Ring/Page .
Users can ring any of the seven Hunt Groups or voice signal Hunt Groups
1–6. For more information, see
Group Hunting—Ring/Voice Signal .
If Station Lock is used at an extension, users cannot dial outside numbers
except Marked
System Speed Dial Numbers
and numbers on the
Emergency Phone Number List (#406) .
If dialing restrictions are programmed for an extension, the system may
prevent a user at that extension from placing certain calls. For example, a
user may not be allowed to dial 900 numbers from the extension. (Or an
extension may be programmed to take incoming calls only, so the user
cannot dial out at all.) The following features provide dialing restrictions:
Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) , Line Access Restriction (#302) ,
and Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) .
The following features can be used to override dialing restrictions: Allowed
Phone Number Lists (#407) , Emergency Phone Number List (#406) ,
Marked
System Speed Dial Numbers
, and
System Password (#403)
.
Users with system phones can enter account codes to track incoming and
outgoing calls. For more information, see
Account Code Entry . You also
can use Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to identify extensions that
must enter account codes prior to dialing outside phone numbers (including
those on the Emergency Phone Number List).
