Configuring Your System

4 - 47

If two macros have the same name, the first one will be used and the

subsequent ones will be ignored.

“'!” and “^” macro prefixes cannot be mixed in the same macro line.

A sequence of characters prefixed with “!” are parsed as a macro name.

The exception is the speed dial reference, which starts with “!” and

contains digits only.

A sequence of characters prefixed with “^” is the action string.

The sequence of characters accessed from speed dial keys must be prefixed

by either “!” or “^” so it will be processed as an enhanced feature key. All

macro references and action strings added to the local directory contact

field must be prefixed by either “!” or “^”.

Action strings used in soft key definitions do not need to be prefixed by

“^”. However, the “!” prefix must be used if macros or speed dials are

referenced.

.

A sequence of macro names in the same macro is supported (for example,

“!m1!m2” ).

A sequence of speed dial references is supported (for example, “!1!2” ).

A sequence of macro names and speed dial references is supported (for

example, “!m1!2!m2” ).

Macro names that appear in the local contact directory must follow the

format “!<macro name>” , where <macro name> must match an
<elklist> mname

entry. The maximum macro length is 100 characters.

A sequence of macros is supported, but cannot be mixed with other action

types.

Action strings that appear in the local contact directory must follow the

format “^<action string>”. Action strings can reference other macros or

speed dial indexes. Protection against recursive macro calls exists (the

enhanced feature keys fails once 50 macro substitutions is reached).
