number readback on with Command 110) and then dialed.
Both the allowed numbers table and the nuisance number table store each type of number in a
separate "slot". Each slot affects only one length of number, so allowing all seven digit
numbers will not affect six or eight digit numbers. You should keep track of what you put in
each slot as you program them, so that you can easily change them later.
The allowed numbers table has 500 slots, numbered 000..499. Each slot can hold one type of
number that you want to allow. For example, you might want to program slot 0 to allow seven
digit numbers that begin with the prefix 482, such as 482-7515 and slot 1 to allow eleven digit
numbers that begin with 1800. To do this, you could enter Command 119 000 482 D or unkey
(where Command 119 is the name of the command that programs the allowed numbers table, 0
is the slot to store this type of number in, and 482 is the number we want to allow, ignoring the
last four digits). If you instead wanted to allow all seven digit numbers, not just 482 numbers,
we could enter Command 119 000 ### D or unkey instead. The # symbol is a wildcard digit
that represents any decimal digit. To allow 1800 numbers (using slot 1 so we don't mess up the
seven digit numbers we allowed in slot 0), we would enter Command 119 001 1800### D or
unkey.
The nuisance number table allows you to block numbers that would otherwise be allowed. It
has 100 slots, numbered 000..099. You may not need to use the nuisance number table. It is
usually used to block prank calls. For example, we allowed all seven digit numbers in the
allow table example above. If someone was calling our fax number (482-7547) with the
autopatch as a prank, we could block that number by entering Command 121 000 4827547 D or
unkey. Note that the nuisance number table is independent from the allowed number table;
slot 000 in one table does not interfere with slot 000 in the other table. The nuisance number
table requires that you enter all of the digits of the phone number; it does not ignore the last
four digits like the allowed number table does. The nuisance number table accepts wildcards.
Even if we had allowed all seven digit numbers in the allow table as in the examples above, we
could block seven digit numbers beginning with 554 by entering Command 121 01 554#### D
or unkey.
You can check the operation of the dialing tables at any time by either trying to dial a number
with the forward dial command, or just pretending to dial it with Command 123. This
command will tell you whether a number would be blocked by the dialing table or would be
dialed, without actually using the autopatch. Command 123 will work even if you don't have
an autopatch.
Other Commands that Affect the Autopatch:
Command 007 (see Chapter 3) allows you to turn the DTMF mute on or off for the autopatch
port. While this does not affect the DTMF digits that are actually generated when the autopatch
is dialing, it does have several other effects. See the note on command 007 for more
information.
