Placing Calls
The Pound Key
The pound key (
#
) is used to indicate the end of a dial string. If the pound key is
omitted, the system waits three seconds for additional input, then places the call.
Placing calls to destinations within North America
Pick up the handset on a telephone connected to one of the MAX 420’s ports and
dial 1 + the area code + the local number, followed by the pound key. For
example, if the area code is 212 and the local number is 555-6791, you would dial
1 212 5556971 #
.
Placing international calls
Pick up the handset and dial 011 + the country code + the city code + the number
to be dialed, followed by the pound key. For example, if the country code is 9, the
city code is 81 and the local number is 223-4567, you would dial
011 9 81 2234567 #

If the LAN to which
either
MAX is connected employs a firewall, you will
need to configure settings on both the MAX unit and the firewall before
MAX-to-MAX calls can be made. For information about configuring
firewalls, refer to Section 4.1.1,
Configuring a Firewall,
in your

In MAX-to-MAX calling, the receiving port’s Account Information table
