Call out to external systems using host system dialing 235
Programming Operations Guide
• Link: If you connect the system to a private branch exchange (PBX), you can use a Link
signal to access special features. On some telephones, Link is called FLASH. You can include
the Link signal as part of a longer stored sequence on an external autodial button or in a speed
dial code. The Link symbol uses two of the 24 spaces in a dialing sequence. (
FEATURE 71)
• Pause: This feature enters a 1.5-second delay in a dialing sequence on an external line. The
use of this feature is often required for signaling remote devices, such as answering machines,
or when reaching through to PBX features or host systems. You can program more than one
pause in an external autodial or speed dial sequence. (
FEATURE 78)
The Pause symbol uses one of the 24 spaces in a dialing sequence.
For pulse dialing, pressing * inserts a 1.5-second pause into the dialing sequence.
Programming: There is no system programming for this feature.
• Long Tones: This feature ( FEATURE 808 ), when invoked while a call is active, allows you
to control the length of a tone to signal devices such as fax or answering machines, which
require tones longer than the standard 120 milliseconds. You can use Long tones on any call
except a conference call. You can use internal lines of the system to activate a device
connected to an ATA2 or an ASM in another area of your office, or external lines to access
devices outside the system.
Programming: There is no system programming for this feature.
• Run/Stop: This feature ( FEATURE *9) inserts a break point into a sequence of dialed
numbers or characters used for automatic dialing. This can be necessary when you are
connecting to a PBX or similar host system. For example: you can call a company with an
automated attendant that instructs you to dial the internal number you need. You can program
the company number, a Run/Stop, then the internal number on one external autodial button.
The Run/Stop symbol uses one of the 24 spaces in an autodial or speed dial sequence.
You can include up to three Run/Stop commands in a dialing string. The system ignores a
fourth Run/Stop, and any digits or commands that follow three Run/Stop commands in a
programmed dialing sequence.
To use:
a
Press the autodial button one time to dial the company number.
b
When you hear the automated attendant, press the autodial button again to dial the internal
number.
