MBX IP Description / Operations & Programming Guide
Dial-By-Name
A name, up to 16 characters, may be assigned to each Station and System Speed dial. In
addition, each station may be assigned a 16-character name. When assigned, a user may
place an intercom call to another station or select a Station or System Speed dial using the
name.
The user selects from one of three Dial-by-Name directories and enters characters employing
2 dial pad buttons for each character. The system finds and displays the nearest match to the
user entries. The user may continue entering characters or scroll the directory at any point using
the [VOL UP]/[VOL DWN] button and select a name to call. The number associated with a
selected name is displayed by using the [TRANS] button.
CONDITIONS
- Available characters are A to Z, space, and period; refer to Station Speed Dial for
character entry.
- The LCD will display multiple names (one per LCD line up to 16 characters).
- If a user selects a directory with no entries or there is no match to the user entry, an
“Empty List” message is displayed and the error tone is provided.
- Dial-by-Name is only available to Digital Phones with a display; other users will
receive an error tone if an attempt is made to access Dial-by-Name.
- A user may both scroll and enter characters to search a directory.
