Abbreviated Dialing
 
Abbreviated Dialing provides lists of stored numbers that
can be accessed to place local, long distance, and
international calls, to activate features, or to access
remote computer equipment.
To use abbreviated dialing, a user accesses the appropriate
list through a dial access code and then dials the one-,
two-, or three-digit list entry number where the desired
calling number is stored. Frequently called numbers can be
stored on an abbreviated dialing button. In this case,
simply pressing the button places the call.
Autodial is similiar to abbreviated dialing. Autodial
buttons, when pushed, dial a number or sequence of numbers.
Autodial buttons can be programmed to represent functions
such as redial or simple numbers such as your home telephone
number.
The # sign has been reserved by the system. When the
system encounters a "#" entered in this way, it
interprets that to mean "I'm finished programming"
and stops accepting data. This means that individuals
programming phones using the phone buttons can not enter
this symbol as part of a longer string of data. Please note:
In the following explanations, the abbreviation
"AD" is used when referring to "Abbreviated
Dial"; "AD" is not used when referring to
"Autodial".

- The program menu
feature allows you to program telephone numbers,

you are dialing a system which uses a menu with
prompts.

menu feature instructs the voice terminal to delay
5 to 25 seconds until the voice terminal receives
