Telephone Features Programming Guide
Automatic dial
Automatic dial allows you to dial a number without selecting a line. Your prime line is selected
when you start dialing a number. Automatic dial does not work if your telephone has no prime line
or when your prime line is in use.
Telephones connected to an Analog Terminal Adaptor (ATA2) or an Analog Station Module
(ASM) cannot use Automatic dial.
Pre-dial
Pre-dial allows you to enter a telephone number, check it, then change it before making the call.
The call does not dial until you select a line or line pool, or pick up the handset. You can pre-dial
both external and internal numbers. You must, however, select the correct type of line (external or
internal) for the type of number you have entered.
Receive a busy signal on an internal call
When the internal number you dialed is busy, there are three possibilities:
• Priority Call
• Ring Again
• Message
Priority Call
If you get a busy signal or a Do Not Disturb message when you call someone in your office, you
can interrupt their call by using the Priority Call feature. Use this feature for urgent calls only.
Program a telephone to make priority calls (Unified Manager Programming)
You need to start a Unified Manager session to program this feature. For more information about
programming using Unified Manager, see the Business Communications Manager Programming
Operations Guide.
Note: If your telephone starts ringing while you are pre-dialing a number, you can stop
the ringing by turning on Do Not Disturb (≤°fi). When Do Not Disturb is entered
while you are dialing, the numbers you are entering are not affected.
You cannot pre-dial a telephone number if all the lines on your telephone are busy.
