660 Matrix ETERNITY NE System Manual
Macros
What’s this?
Extension users often have to dial access codes for specific functions like dialing a feature code, making an internal
call, making an external call, etc.
ETERNITY NE supports Macros, using which, you can abbreviate long number strings for regularly used functions
in to macros and assign them to a DSS key on a DKP/Extended IP Phone extension.
You can also assign Macros on SLTs that have special keys.
How it works
• Extension 201, frequently sets Call Forward-All Calls to an external number 26550333.
• To do this, each time, Extension 201 must dial 131-Trunk Access Code-26550333-#*.
• Instead of having to dial this lengthy number string, a Macro can be created for Call Forward-All Calls to
External number.
• If Extension 201 is an Extended SIP Phone or a DKP, the Macro can be assigned to a DSS key on the
phone.
• Instead of dialing this number string, the user of Extension 201 can simply press the DSS key on which this
Macro is assigned.
• Thus when the DSS key on which a Macro is assigned is pressed, the corresponding access code is
executed.
• The system sets call forward to the external number automatically.
ETERNITY also supports Macros for SLT which have special keys. When each of these keys is pressed, a special
number string, which you can program is dialed.
For example, an SLT instrument has 5 special purpose keys. When these keys are pressed, the strings *50, *51,
*52, *53, *54 programmed on these keys are dialed out.
You can create Macros for the strings dialed out using the special keys, whereby the string dialed by each of these
special keys is associated with a particular function. For example, the special key for dialing *50 is associated with
Call Forward -All Calls to an external number. So, when the extension user presses *50, the system receives this
string and takes appropriate action, i.e. interprets it as call forward to the external number, and sets call forward.
Thus, each time the extension user presses the special key *50, the system considers that the extension user has
dialed 131-Trunk Access Code-26550333-#*.
