Instruction manual

Last Number Dialed

Description

Last Number Dialed automatically saves the last number dialed from a multiline voice

terminal or ATL cordless telephone and allows the user to place the call again without

manually redialing the number. The feature is administered to a button on the terminal. Both

inside and outside calls can be made in this way. The original call can be placed by manual

dialing, by operation of a programmed button, or by Speed Dialing.

To use the feature, the caller first gets dial tone, and then presses the Last Number Dialed

button (LAST # DIALED). The I-use and status LEDs of the button selected for originating

the call (for example, System Access, Loop, or Personal Line) light steadily; if the Last

Number Dialed button has an LED, it lights momentarily. The call proceeds in the normal

way. The number associated with the Last Number Dialed button remains saved even if the

called party answers.

Only the dialing of a new number changes the state of the Last

Number Dialed button; the old number is then erased and the new one stored.

Considerations

Last Number Dialed is a convenience feature that is especially valuable for redialing multi-

digit numbers that were first dialed manually from a terminal’s pushbutton dial. However, the

feature can also be used to redial numbers originally called by the following means:

● Repertory Dial buttons.

● Group Select and DXS buttons on a Selector Console.

This feature saves numbers with up to 16 digits.

The user must hear dial tone before pressing the Last Number Dialed button.

The Last Number Dialed feature cannot be activated by dialing an access code. It is not

available to users of single-line voice terminals.

If a dialed number does not complete a call, Last Number Dialed still stores the digits dialed.

If the user presses the Last Number Dialed button, then dials additional digits to complete

the call, both the currently stored digits and the dialed digits will be stored.
