Programming Numbers
❑
You can program numbers into
FLEX DSS
buttons,
REP DIAL
buttons, and Personal Speed Dialing codes. While only
extension numbers can be programmed into
FLEX DSS
buttons,
numbers and special characters may be programmed into
REP DIAL
buttons (maximum of 28 characters) and Personal
Speed Dialing codes (maximum of 25 characters).
Special Characters
You may need to use the “*” and the “#” when you program
numbers. The “*” is used as either a 1.5 second pause or as an
actual “*” character. The “#” may be used as an actual “#”
character, at the beginning of end-to-end signaling, or at the
beginning of a Speed Dialing code.
NOTE: These special characters cannot be programmed into
FLEX DSS
buttons.
Using * as a Pause
A “*” by itself will produce a 1.5 second pause. For example,
you may want to program a pause between the outside line
access code and the telephone.
You program: 9*5557023
This means:
9 (1.5 second pause) 555-7023
Using * as a Character
If you want to use the “*” as a character, you must place a “#”
before the “*”.
For example, you may want to program the feature access code
“*70” into a
REP DIAL
button.
You program: #*70
This means:
*70
