Last Number Dial A number you dial by pressing a programmed outside Auto Dial button is
saved for Last Number Dial as if you dialed it with the dialpad, but special
characters do not work. An extension dialed when you press a
programmed inside Auto Dial button is not saved for Last Number Dial.
Microphone Disable When an MLX telephone user’s microphone is disabled, pressing an Auto
Dial button turns on the speakerphone so the user can hear the number
being dialed. However, the user must lift the handset to talk once the call
is answered.
Paging You can program an extension for a speakerphone paging group on an
inside Auto Dial button.
Park An operator can program park zone codes on inside Auto Dial buttons. An
inside Auto Dial button can also be programmed with a user’s or system
operator’s own extension number and can be used to park calls. When
the system is programmed for one-touch Hold with manual completion,
you hear a busy signal when parking a call at your own extension number
and must complete the transfer by hanging up or pressing the Transfer
button.
Personal Lines Only an outside Auto Dial button—not an inside one—can be used on a
personal line.
Pools Pool dial-out codes cannot be programmed on inside Auto Dial buttons. A
pool dial-out code can be programmed on an outside Auto Dial button
when a telephone number is also included.
Recall/Timed Flash The Conf button is used to enter the Flash special character, which
simulates pressing the Recall button, in a telephone number dialing
sequence programmed on an Auto Dial button.
If Recall is used during an inside call made on an Auto Dial button, the
call is disconnected and the user hears inside dial tone.
Saved Number Dial A number you dial by pressing a programmed outside Auto Dial button
can be saved for Saved Number Dial by pressing the programmed Saved
Number Dial button.
Service Observing In Release 6.1 and later systems Service Observers can use Inside Auto
Dial and DSS buttons to select extensions they want to observe.
If an observed extension uses one-touch Transfer (automatic or manual),
the observer is removed from the call when the call is placed on Hold for
the transfer. If an observed extension uses one-Touch hold, the observer
is removed from the call; however, the Service Observing session is still
enabled. If the Service Observer tries to use one-touch Transfer or Hold
while observing an extension, nothing happens.
If a Service Observer has Auto Dial buttons programmed for extensions in
its Service Observing group, an incoming call that can be observed lights
the green LED next to the Auto Dial button. However, the green LED is
not a guarantee that an observable call has arrived; it may simply mean
the extension has activated Do Not Disturb.
Calls made by using Auto Dial Outside can be observed.
