6. Making a Telephone Call
The Pound Key
The pound key (
#
) is used by the Max to indicate the end of a dial
string. If the pound key is omitted, the Max waits three seconds for
additional input, then places the call. This delay is adjustable through
a HyperTerminal connection. For details, see Sections 10 and 11 in
the Max Command Reference Guide.
Placing Calls to the PSTN
Placing Calls to Destinations within North America
Pick up the handset on a telephone connected to one of the Max
8/16’s ports and dial 1 + the area code + the local number, followed
by the
#
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 local number, followed by the
#
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 #.

Let us imagine that you are planning a trip to England and you need
to call Windsor Castle’s 24 hr. information line. To call from London,
you would dial 0753 (the city code) + 831118 (the local number).
To place the call directly from your PBX extension in your office in the
US, you would dial 011 01 753 831118 (omitting the 0 before the
city code).
We will place the call as a Max-to-Max call, using the Max 8/16 in
your company’s New York City office and the Max 8/16 in your
company’s London office.
