Section 3: FeaturesProduct Description 273Section 3: FeaturesAbbreviated DialingDescriptionAbbreviated Dialing gives an extension user quick access to frequently called numbers. This savestime, 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 canshare the Common Abbreviated Dialing numbers. All co-worker’s in the same Abbreviated DialingGroup can share the Group Abbreviated Dialing numbers. Personal Abbreviated Dialing numbersare 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 allocatebetween Common and Group Abbreviated Dialing.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 TrunkGroup Routing or ARS (whichever is enabled). Or, the user can preselect a specific trunk for thecall. In addition, the system can optionally force Common Abbreviated Dialing numbers to routeover a specific Trunk Group. User pre-selection always overrides the system routing.DSS Console ChainingDSS Console chaining allows an extension user with a DSS Console to chain to an AbbreviatedDialing number stored under a DSS Console key. The stored number dials out (chains) to the initialcall. 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 theclient’s extension number under the other (e.g., #201). The DSS Console user presses the first keyto call the company, waits for the Automated Attendant to answer, then presses the second key tocall 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 aProgrammable Function Key or a One-Touch Key.Storing a FlashTo enhance compatibility with connected Centrex and PBX lines, an Abbreviated Dialing bin canhave a stored Flash command. For example, storing 9 Flash 926 5400 will cause the system to dial9, flash the line and then dial 926 5400. The Flash can be stored by the user from their telephone orby the system administrator during system programming.Using a Programmable Function KeyTo streamline frequently-called numbers, an Abbreviated Dialing Programmable Function Key can alsostore an Abbreviated Dialing bin number. When the extension user presses the key, the phone automati-cally dials out the stored number. This provides true one-touch calling via a phone’s function keys.Aspire• Available• 2000 bins available (0000-1999) for Common and Group Abbreviated Dialing. Up to 64 Abbreviated DialingGroups available.
