terminal, dial 00 870 772420567.
If the mobile numbers are listed in the web interface, you can look them up by selecting
PHONE BOOK > Mobile numbers. If the numbers are not listed, refer to the documents provided
with your airtime subscription. See Viewing and editing the mobile numbers on page 57.
Making a call from one terminal to another
To make a call from one terminal to another, dial 00 <Mobile number>.
Note
By default, any handset connected to the terminal will ring on incoming calls.However,
you can configure the behaviour of the interfaces using the web interface. If you have
connected a fax, set the incoming call type on the Phone/Fax interface to 3.1 kHz Audio to
avoid that the fax rings and answers an incoming Standard call. For further information,
see Selecting the call type on page 26.
