Directory
Description
This feature allows the user of a voice terminal where the Display feature is administered to
search the system’s integrated directory data base for the extension numbers associated
with specific names. Information resulting from the use of Directory is displayed on the voice
terminal’s screen.
The user enters Directory Mode from Normal Mode by pressing the DIRECTORY button.
The system presents the following display to prompt the user to enter a name using the dial
pad buttons and then dial # to mark the end of the search entry.
Screen 1
DIR: ENTER NAME#
The dial pad buttons are labeled with all the necessary entry characters except as follows:
● Q is entered by pressing button 7 (PRS).
● Z is entered by pressing button 9 (WXY).
● Space, comma, or dot is entered by pressing the ✶ button
The directory prompt, DIR: ENTER NAME#, remains displayed on the screen until the user
finishes entering the characters of the name and presses #. (It is often unnecessary to enter
a full name, but whatever is entered must be terminated by #.) The system then searches
the directory data base for a match between the entered characters and the stored names.
If none is found, the prompt is removed and NO MATCH FOUND is displayed. Otherwise,
directory information is presented as shown in the following example:
Screen 1
D645 Wiggins,G
The D in position 1 indicates that the Directory Mode is active.
If the name is not the correct one, the NEXT button allows the user to request that the next
matched name be displayed. This operation can be repeated. As an alternative, the user
can narrow the search by entering additional letters followed by #. The additional letters are
added to the end of the previously-entered search string.
If a mistake is made, the user can
press DIRECTORY twice (to exit and reenter the mode) and try to enter the desired name
again.
If the user reaches the end of a matched list, NO MATCH FOUND is displayed. The user can
return to the first matched name by pressing NEXT again.
When the displayed name is the correct one, the user can call the number by pressing the
CALL button. If the terminal is on-hook, the speakerphone will turn on automatically.
