Abbreviated Dialing
Description
Abbreviated Dialing gives an extension user quick access to frequently called numbers. This saves
time, for example, when calling a client with whom they deal often. Instead of dialing a long tele-
phone number, the extension user just dials the Abbreviated Dialing code.
There are three types of Abbreviated Dialing: Common, Group and Personal. All co-workers can
share the Common Abbreviated Dialing numbers. All co-worker’s in the same Abbreviated Dialing
Group can share the Group Abbreviated Dialing numbers. Personal Abbreviated Dialing numbers
are available only at a user’s own extension. To set up Personal Abbreviated Dialing, refer to the
“One-Touch Calling” feature. The system has 2000 Abbreviated Dialing bins that you can allocate
between Common and Group Abbreviated Dialing. (The Group bins are assigned in groups of 10.)
Each Abbreviated Dialing bin can store a number up to 24 digits long.
When placing an Abbreviated Dialing call, the system normally routes the call through Trunk
Group Routing or ARS (whichever is enabled). Or, the user can preselect a specific trunk for the
call. In addition, the system can optionally force Common Abbreviated Dialing numbers to route
over a specific Trunk Group. User pre-selection always overrides the system routing.
Common Bins Limited to 1000 with Dial Key or #2 Service Code
Though there are 2000 Abbreviated Dialing bins available in the system, once programmed, these
bins can currently only be dialed using the Directory Dial feature (Press Directory Dialing Soft Key
+ ABBc Soft Key + Use arrow keys to locate number or enter the Abbreviated Dial bin name +
CALL or SPK to place call.)
The DIAL key and service code #2 operations are not available for any 4-digit Abbreviated Dial
common bin number.
DSS Console Chaining
DSS Console chaining allows an extension user with a DSS Console to chain to an Abbreviated
Dialing number stored under a DSS Console key. The stored number dials out (chains) to the initial
call. This can, for example, simplify dialing when calling a company with an Automated Attendant.
You can program the bin for the company number under one DSS Console key (e.g., #200) and the
client’s extension number under the other (e.g., #201). The DSS Console user presses the first key
to call the company, waits for the Automated Attendant to answer, then presses the second key to
call the client (extension 400). See Programming below for additional details.
The DSS Console user can also chain to an Abbreviated Dialing number dialed manually, from a
Programmable Function Key or a One-Touch Key.
Storing a Flash
To enhance compatibility with connected Centrex and PBX lines, an Abbreviated Dialing bin can
have a stored Flash command. For example, storing 9 Flash 926 5400 will cause the system to dial
9, flash the line and then dial 926 5400. The Flash can be stored by the user from their telephone or
by the system administrator during system programming.
