Special Characters in Programmed Dialing Sequences
DESCRIPTION You must enter special characters when you need to program a pause, stop,
or switchhook flash into an Outside Auto Dial, a Personal Speed Dial, or a
System Speed Dial sequence, and when you switch from rotary to Touch-
Tone signals in the middle of a programmed dialing sequence.
You can program a pause (1.5 seconds) into a dialing sequence. For example,
you may need to place a pause between a pool access code, such as a 9, and
an outside telephone number in an Outside Auto Dial sequence.
You can program a stop into a dialing sequence to allow you to wait for a
second dial tone. For example, you may need to program a stop between a
local telephone number and an alternate long distance authorization code.
You can program a switchhook flash at the beginning of a dialing sequence.
For example, you may need to program a button with a PBX, Centrex, or
Custom Calling feature code that calls for a switchhook flash.
You can program Touch-Tone Enable into a dialing sequence. For example,
you may need to include Touch-Tone Enable to use a credit card authorization
service.
