Abbreviated Dialing
Description
Abbreviated Dialing gives an extension user quick access to frequently called numbers. This saves
time, for example, when calling a client with whom they deal often. Instead of dialing a long tele-
phone number, the extension user just dials the Abbreviated Dialing code.
There are three types of Abbreviated Dialing: Common, Group and Personal. All co-workers can
share the Common Abbreviated Dialing numbers. All co-worker’s in the same Abbreviated Dialing
Group can share the Group Abbreviated Dialing numbers. Personal Abbreviated Dialing numbers
are available only at a user’s own extension. To set up Personal Abbreviated Dialing, refer to the
“One-Touch Calling” feature. The system has 2000 Abbreviated Dialing bins that you can allocate
between Common and Group Abbreviated Dialing.
Each Abbreviated Dialing bin can store a number up to 24 digits long.
When placing an Abbreviated Dialing call, the system normally routes the call through Trunk
Group Routing or ARS (whichever is enabled). Or, the user can preselect a specific trunk for the
call. In addition, the system can optionally force Common Abbreviated Dialing numbers to route
over a specific Trunk Group. User pre-selection always overrides the system routing.
DSS Console Chaining
DSS Console chaining allows an extension user with a DSS Console to chain to an Abbreviated
Dialing number stored under a DSS Console key. The stored number dials out (chains) to the initial
call. This can, for example, simplify dialing when calling a company with an Automated Attendant.
You can program the bin for the company number under one DSS Console key (e.g., #200) and the
client’s extension number under the other (e.g., #201). The DSS Console user presses the first key
to call the company, waits for the Automated Attendant to answer, then presses the second key to
call the client (extension 400). See Programming below for additional details.
The DSS Console user can also chain to an Abbreviated Dialing number dialed manually, from a
Programmable Function Key or a One-Touch Key.
Storing a Flash
To enhance compatibility with connected Centrex and PBX lines, an Abbreviated Dialing bin can
have a stored Flash command. For example, storing 9 Flash 926 5400 will cause the system to dial
9, flash the line and then dial 926 5400. The Flash can be stored by the user from their telephone or
by the system administrator during system programming.
Using a Programmable Function Key
To streamline frequently-called numbers, an Abbreviated Dialing Programmable Function Key can
also store an Abbreviated Dialing bin number. When the extension user presses the key, the phone
automatically dials out the stored number. This provides true one-touch calling via a phone’s func-
tion keys.
