The Calls-in-Queue-Alarm button for a calling group is
assigned on a multiline telephone by programming an inside
Auto Dial button with the calling group’s extension number.
When a DSS is not available, Auto Dial buttons programmed
with each calling group member’s extension are used by the
calling group supervisor to monitor group member availability.
If headset operation is activated on the telephone or console,
the user must select a line button before using Auto Dial to dial
an extension or an outside number.
A number dialed by pressing a programmed outside Auto Dial
button is saved for Last Number Dial as if it were dialed with the
dialpad, but special characters do not work. An extension
dialed by pressing a programmed inside Auto Dial button is not
saved for Last Number Dial.
When an MLX telephone user’s microphone is disabled,
pressing an Auto Dial button turns on the speakerphone so the
user can hear the number being dialed. However, the user
must lift the handset to talk once the call is answered.
Paging an extension for a Speakerphone Paging Group can be
programmed on an inside Auto Dial button.
A system operator can program Park Zone codes on inside
Auto Dial buttons. An inside Auto Dial button can also be
programmed with a user’s (including system operator’s) own
extension number and can be used to park calls. When the
system is programmed for One-Touch Hold with manual
completion, a user hears a busy signal when parking a call at
his or her own extension number and must complete the
transfer by hanging up or pressing the Transfer button.
Only an outside Auto Dial button—not an inside one—can be
used on a Personal Line.
Pool dial-out codes cannot be programmed on inside Auto Dial
buttons. A pool dial-out code can be programmed on an
outside Auto Dial button when a telephone number is also
included.
A number dialed by pressing a programmed outside Auto Dial
button can be saved for Saved Number Dial by pressing the
programmed Saved Number Dial button.
A Signal button and an Auto Dial button cannot be
programmed for the same extension. If a user tries to program
an Auto Dial button when a Signal button is already
programmed, or vice versa, the feature being programmed
erases the previously programmed feature.
