Only company extension numbers should be programmed on inside Auto Dial
buttons. Account codes, long-distance company access codes, and outside
telephone numbers should be programmed on outside Auto Dial buttons.
If a user tries to program an incomplete extension number on an inside Auto Dial
button, the system provides an error tone and the button remains as programmed.
If numbers are dialed incorrectly by outside Auto Dial, it is possible that the digits
are being dialed before a central office dial tone is received. In this case, a Pause
character should be programmed as the first digit of the dialed number in Key
mode or as the digit after the dial-out code in Hybrid/PBX mode.
Inside Auto Dial does not work across a private network. Use Outside Auto Dial
for calls that travel across the private network.
To enter special characters in a telephone number programmed on an outside
Auto Dial button, use Conf for the Flash character, Drop for the Stop character,
and Hold for the Pause character (see Table 1
). These special characters cannot
be programmed on inside Auto Dial buttons. If the Stop character is the last
character in the number, it has no effect on how the Auto Dial button functions.
Table 1. Special Characters for Outside Auto Dial
In Release 2.1 and later systems, when a call is forwarded to a multiline telephone
that has an inside Auto Dial button programmed for the forwarding telephone, the
green LED next to the Auto Dial button does not flash.
