Keypad Maps
Telephone manufacturers in many countries have tried to standardize the
location of the letters that appear on a telephone keypad. For example, in the
United States, A, B, and C are always on key 2. However, the location of
letters on the keypad can vary among countries and among different
telephone manufacturers. Many keypads do not show Q and Z, while others
may show them on the 1, 7, 9, or 0 key.
This chapter describes how the voice mail system works with the selected
keypad map.
NEC recommends using the
default
keypad map installed with the system.

The system supports five keypad maps shown on next page. For details on
how to set the system to work with the Numbers Only keypad, refer to Chapter
10 Numeric Access.
The Wildcard Key
Some lettered keypads support a wildcard key. This is an unlettered key that
matches any letter or digit. Subscribers and outside callers can use the
wildcard when they are unsure of a spelling. For example, the Q=7, Z=9
keypad map uses the 1 key as a wildcard. Pressing 7-1-1 matches all names
which begin with P, Q, R, or S because the 7 key maps to P, Q, R, or S, and
the 1 key (the wildcard) maps to any letter.
The numbers-only keypad has a wildcard key that can be used only by
subscribers to locate numbered message groups. For example, press 1-1-1 to
match all numbered message groups in the system.
