Finding an Entry in the IC Directory
The following sections show examples of display endpoint screens. You will see similar exam-
ples when using the IDS feature to retrieve an entry from the IC Directory. Also discussed are
the actions you need to take when using the feature.
IC Directory Examples
Two-line display endpoints show only the first two lines of the six lines shown in the following
examples. To access the Directory feature on a two-line display endpoint, press the Special
button (SPCL or the infinity symbol) then press 307.
If you have not entered any digits in the IC Directory, you will see the first lines of the entire
directory. Empty matches are displayed first. Instead of displaying a blank line, IDS shows the
extension in brackets for any match that is empty. The following example of a six-line display
screen shows that the first three IC Directory extensions of the system are not assigned in the
database.
Scrolling Through IDS Entries
To scroll through the entries, press the >> arrow menu button or the Volume Up button to
scroll forward, or press the << arrow menu button or the Volume Down button to scroll back-
ward. The arrow menu button scrolls a screen full of entries at once, while the Volume Up and
Volume Down buttons scroll one entry at a time. The arrow menu buttons at the bottom of the
six-line display appear only when more than three entries are available. Also, if no previous
page or entry exists, the << arrow menu button is unavailable and the Volume Down button
does not respond. Likewise, if no next page or match exists, the >> arrow menu button is
unavailable and the Volume Up button does not respond.
Dialing an IC Number from the IDS List
To dial the name in the first line, whose extension appears in the second line, press the
pound ( )
button or the menu button next to the name. Menu buttons are available only on
six-line display endpoints.

<11498>
<11499>
<11714>
1/16 >>
The bottom line displays two numbers separated by a forward slash. The first
number indicates which entry in the list of matches is the current entry, and the
second number is the total number of matches (exact and partial) for the current
input. For example, “1/16” indicates that the first entry refers to the first match out
of 16. If the screen cannot display this information, IDS displays no information.
For example, “10000/15200” will not fit on the display between the arrow menu
buttons (<< and >>).
The underscore character indicates the number of charac-
ters entered. In this example, only the underscore character
is displayed because no digits have been entered.
