Account Code Entry
You can program frequently used account code numbers onto outside
Auto Dial buttons.
Allowed/
Disallowed Lists
and Calling
Restrictions
A user with a restricted extension cannot dial a restricted number
(outward or toll) using an Auto Dial button unless the number is on the
Allowed List for that extension.
You cannot dial an outside number using an Auto Dial button when the
number is on a Disallowed List assigned to the extension.
Automatic Route
Selection
You cannot program Automatic Route Selection (ARS) dial-out codes on
inside Auto Dial buttons. You can program an ARS dial-out code on an
outside Auto Dial button.
Conference
Press the Conf button to enter the Flash special character in a telephone
number programmed on an outside Auto Dial button. Press the Drop
button to enter the Stop special character in a telephone number
programmed on an outside Auto Dial button.
Digital Data Calls
A terminal adapter can make a call using an Auto Dial button by dialing
the virtual number of the Auto Dial button (for example
#01
). A video
system that supports the use of # for entering feature codes can use Auto
Dial in the same fashion.
Display
When you press a programmed Auto Dial button, the digits appear on the
display as if you were dialing them from the dialpad, and the number is
automatically dialed. An MLX telephone user can select
Auto Dial
from
the display only during programming.
Do Not Disturb
When you activate Do Not Disturb, the green LED turns on next to all
inside Auto Dial buttons programmed at your extension.
Forward and
Follow Me
When a call is forwarded to a multiline telephone that has an Auto Dial
button programmed for the forwarding telephone, the green LED next to
the Auto Dial button does not flash.
Group Calling
The Calls-in-Queue-Alarm button for a calling group is assigned on a
multiline telephone by programming an inside Auto Dial button with the
calling group’s extension number. When a DSS is not available, the group
supervisor uses Auto Dial buttons programmed with each calling group
member’s extension to monitor group member availability.
Headset Options
If headset operation is activated on the telephone or console, select a line
button before using Auto Dial to dial an extension or an outside number.
Hold
The Hold button is used to enter the Pause special character in a
telephone number programmed on an Auto Dial button.
