4.1.6 DID (Direct Inward Dialing)
Description
Directs a call on a public CO line assigned as a Direct Inward Dialing (DID) line to a preprogrammed destination
according to the call’s DID number, which is based on the telephone number dialed by the caller. When a call
reaches its destination via DID distribution, the DID name will be displayed on the proprietary telephone (PT),
allowing extension users to easily see whom a call is directed to. Each DID number has a destination for each
time mode.
DID distribution allows you to use your telephone numbers for specific purposes. For example, you can direct
calls from customers’ fax machines to your office fax machine automatically, or allow your overseas customers
to be automatically connected to specific operators. Incoming calls with DID numbers that match extension
numbers at this PBX will be sent to the corresponding extension. Incoming calls with DID numbers that match
extensions at other PBXs will be sent to the corresponding TIE line.
