Autopatch Call Types
There are eight categories of telephone numbers recognized by the controller.
They are Autopatch Call Types. The Select Autopatch Call Types command
(on page 7-36) allows you to program the types of telephone calls that can be
made through the autopatch.
Autopatch Call Types
Numbers Call Types
0 operator
xxx-xxxx 7-digit local call
xxx-xxx-xxxx 10-digit local call
0-xxx-xxxx operator-assisted 7-digit call
1-xxx-xxxx 7-digit long distance call
0-xxx-xxx-xxxx operator assisted 10-digit call
1-xxx-xxx-xxxx 10-digit call long distance call
1-800-xxx-xxxx/1-888-xxx-xxxx toll free call
The controller may be programmed to allow any or all of the above autopatch
call types. In addition, it may be turned OFF (disabled) completely.
As you can see, this is a somewhat general way of screening calls. It has the
advantage of being programmed via a standard 12-button DTMF pad.
To screen call types more closely, see the Autopatch Restrictions section on
page 7-38. Autopatch restrictions allow screening by the individual digits,
shown as “x”s in the table above. A 16-button DTMF pad is required to screen
by blocks of numbers.
