System Speed Dial
DESCRIPTION
The administrator can store System Speed Dial codes for telephone numbers,
such as a warehouse number or a branch office number, and account
numbers that people in the office frequently use. People can then dial the
number simply by dialing the proper Speed Dial code. Your MERLIN Plus
system can store up to 130 System Speed Dial numbers.
System Speed Dial
is particularly useful when the administrator wants to give users access to a .
specific number, for instance, an authorization code for an alternate long-
distance service, but does not want to divulge the number.
For more information about assigning a System Speed Dial code to account
.
numbers that the administrator wants to appear on call reports, see “Account
Number Entry. ’

You can program a System Speed Dial code for an area code and an
exchange. Then when you want to dial a telephone number that begins with
this area code and exchange, you can dial the Speed Dial code or touch the
button programmed for the Speed Dial code, and then dial the remainder of
the telephone number or use another Speed Dial code. The MERLIN Plus
system can hold a maximum of 130 System Speed Dial codes of up to 16
digits each.
The system administrator can assign System Speed Dial codes to telephone
numbers with or without Restriction Override.
l If the administrator decides to store a System Speed Dial code with
Restriction Override, all voice terminals in the system can use the code as
a type of password that allows the person to access the outside number,
regardless of Disallowed List, toll or outward call restrictions previously
placed on the voice terminal.
l The administrator may decide to store a System Speed Dial code without
Restriction Override so that the Disallowed List, and all toll or outward
restrictions placed on voice terminals continue to apply.
For System Speed Dial codes assigned to telephone numbers, the
administrator can specify which Speed Dial codes will be printed on call
reports (see “Call Report”), which codes will be displayed on display sets,
and which ones will be private.
It is sometimes necessary to include a pause, stop, or switchhook flash, or to
switch from rotary to Touch-Tone signals within a dialing sequence.
To do
so, the administrator must enter one or more of the following special
characters into the dialing sequence. However, if you do use the‘special
characters in the dialing sequence, you cannot use Recall to retry the number
for you.
