Directories
Extension Directory
1
7
Extension Directory listings are established and changed only through system
programming, using the Labeling feature. Each listing consists of a 7-character
name field and a number field of up to four digits. There can be one listing for
every extension on the system. All of the extensions in the system can be stored.
While the extension is being dialed, the display of the extension number cannot
be suppressed.
Personal Directory
1
7
Personal Directory listings can be established and changed through system
programming (using the Labeling feature) or by an MLX-20L user. Each listing
consists of an 11-character name field and a 28-digit number field. Up to 50
listings can be included in each Personal Directory; up to 48 users of MLX-20L
telephones can have Personal Directories.
For purposes of privacy or security, any listing can be
marked
to suppress the
display of the telephone number during dialing. The tag, however, does not
prevent the telephone number from being displayed when an MLX-20L telephone
user selects
Show Number
to display the telephone number associated with an
individual listing.
Special characters may be needed during programming of Personal Directory
entries. Each of these characters counts as one of the 28 digits allowed. For
information about special characters and their meanings, see Appendix H,
“Programming Special Characters.”
A listing cannot be used if the first character of the listing is a punctuation
character such as a hyphen.
Any MLX-20L telephone user, except a Queued Call Console (QCC) operator,
can display up to 16 Personal Directory listings on the Home screen, on two
screens. Frequently used features, not Personal Directory listings, are displayed
on a QCC operator’s Home screen. A QCC operator can access the Personal
Directory by selecting
Directory
on the Home screen.
Extension numbers can be programmed in a Personal Directory. However, in Key
and Behind Switch modes, press an ICOM button before selecting a listing to dial
a number.
Considerations and Constraints

While a Personal Directory on an MLX-20L telephone is being programmed, the
user cannot receive calls (the caller hears a busy signal).
Personal Speed Dial is not related to the Personal Directory. See
for additional information about Personal Speed Dial.
