To create an entry in your personal phonebook, fill in at least the Name and Number entry forms and then
click on Add/Update
1
. Your entry will be added to your pull-down list. Note that you can enter values in the
Number field either from your keyboard or by clicking on the numbers displayed on the picture of a touch-
tone keypad. Everything but numbers, commas, and the # and * characters will be ignored. The dialer will
convert each comma in an entry into a 1 second delay.
Also, entries which start with a 9 will cause an outside line to be seized, then all numbers after the 9 to be
dialed. To add an entry for 911, for example, you will want to set the number to be dialed to 9,911. The
comma between the nines gives the system time to seize the outside line.
Finally, any entry with seven or more digits will be assumed to be for an outside number, and the system will
automatically seize an outside line before dialing. No prefix of 9 is needed in this case, and if one is added, it
will be removed before the number is dialed. Only the first grouping before the first comma is analyzed to
determine if it is an inside or outside call.
For example, to seize the outside line that is associated with extension 203, then dial 555-1234, then wait
four seconds and enter #111, type the following:
203,555-1212,,,,#111 . This will work the same
way whether it is in the phonebook, or typed in the Number entry box on the Control page.
To edit an entry in your personal phonebook, select it from the pull-down list, then make your changes and
click on Add/Update again.
Note Entries in the phonebook are arranged by name, so each name must be unique. For example, If you
change the name of the entry for Steve to Steve Sampson, then click on Add/Update, you will have two
entries, one for Steve and one for Steve Sampson. You can remove the extra entry by selecting it from
the pull-down list, then clicking on Delete Entry.
You will receive an error message if you attempt to modify or delete entries from the system-wide phone-
book.
By specifying a Speed number to be associated with an entry, you will create a speed-dial button back on
your Control page. The number you enter in the Speed # box determines the order in the list of buttons that
1. If you use an entry from the system-wide list as a starting point, you will need to change at least the Name
field before you will be able to save any modifications.
