an Allowed List assigned to the extension.
A user cannot dial an outside number by using Personal Speed Dial or
System Speed Dial if the number is on a Disallowed List assigned to the

Personal Speed Dial code because these features are activated by
dialing

When a Stop character is programmed as part of a Speed Dial number,
stay on the line, wait for the callback call, and then reactivate Speed Dial.

ability to dial feature codes or number strings beginning with
#
.
Directories
System Speed Dial numbers are stored in the System Directory. MLX

dial number. See Appendix H, “Programming Special Characters,” for
additional information.
