Intelligent Directory Search
40. INTELLIGENT DIRECTORY SEARCH
40.1 When using an Axxess system, the user may encounter several situations where input-
ting text is necessary. Examples of these situations may include searching an IC, Outside, or
Feature directory for a particular number, name, or feature. Of such situations, searching the
directory is likely the most common scenario for entering text.
40.2 The Intelligent Directory Search (IDS) feature improves searching for names in the
directory by allowing the user to press one number for each letter rather than several. Each but-
ton represents several letters. For example, dialpad button represents “5,” “J,” “K,” “L,”
“j,” “k,” or “l.” To enter JONES, the user presses
. As buttons are pressed,
several possible matches appear on the display endpoint. This is similar to the “text on nine
keys (T9)” feature on many cellular phones. No additional license or DB Programming is
required to support IDS.
40.3 A display endpoint or an Inter-Tel Model 8602 IP softphone application is required for
using the IDS feature. Also, an IP endpoint must be in ITP mode.

40.4 System v9.1 or later supports new dialpad button characters. When needing to search
for a number, name, or feature in a directory, users can press the following dialpad buttons to
enter characters or perform an action. The buttons apply to buttons pressed on the endpoint.
