Abbreviated Dialing
What's this?
Abbreviated Dialing is the use of short codes (abbreviated numbers), to dial out long-digit numbers. It is also
referred to as Memory Dialing.
Abbreviated Dialing allows you to dial quickly and easily, frequently called, long-digit numbers.
This feature requires you to store the frequently called, long-digit numbers
75
and their corresponding short codes in
special lists, known as 'directories'. These directories may be 'personal' or 'global'.
PRASAR UCS supports two types of Abbreviated Dialing based on the type of directory used: Personal
Abbreviated Dialing and Global Abbreviated Dialing.
Abbreviated Dialing forms the basis of two other features of the PRASAR UCS: “Dialed Number Directory” and
“Quick Dial”.
Personal Abbreviated Dialing
This variation of Abbreviated Dialing makes use of the Personal Directory.
Personal Directories can be programmed and assigned to groups of extensions. The use of Personal Directories is
limited to the extensions to which they are assigned.
A personal directory accommodates 25 numbers. Each number may be up to 16 digits long. A personal directory
has Index numbers from 0001 to 0025 against which the frequently dialed telephone numbers are stored along with
their corresponding names, email id and trunk access code ID.
As many as 50 different personal directories, numbered from 01 to 50 can be created and assigned to extensions.
With a personal directory assigned to an extension, the extension user simply dials out the Feature Access Code
for Abbreviated Dialing and the Index Number at which the desired number is stored in the personal directory.
For example: personal directory number 02 is assigned to extension 2001. The number 02652630555 is stored at
Index number 16 of this directory. The extension user 2001 can call this number by simply dialing '8' (feature
access code) followed by '0016' (the index number).
