0Attendant
Instructs the PBX to connect to the system operator. The system operator extension is specified
when you configure the Attendant hunt group via the Hunt Groups applet. (See “Configuring
the Attendant hunt group” on page 10-41 for more information.)
1, 5 Extension
Instructs the PBX to connect calls beginning with these digits to an internal or off-premise
extension of the length defined.
Default user extensions begin with any digit in the range 100 through 199.
Default system-wide extensions, such as modems, begin with any digit in the range 500 through
599; for example, Wave Server modems are preconfigured to use extension 570. Like other
Wave Server defaults, this can be changed.
The default extension length is three, with a range of two to seven.
2, 3, 4,
6, 7, 8
Not
configured
Instructs the PBX that calls beginning with these digits are not valid. If a user dials a first digit
that has not been configured, the PBX plays a “fast busy” signal immediately to indicate that
the first digit dialed is invalid.
All of these first digits can be configured to be used for extension or external settings.
9 External
Instructs the PBX that an outbound, external call (to be routed through the Central Office) is
beginning. For example, the default 9 requires all users to press 9 on their telephone dial pad
before dialing any number outside the building on the public switched telephone network
(PSTN).
You can define the external first digits (access codes) as being one or two digits in length. The
default is one digit. If you select the external dialing to require two digits, then you can
configure the digits 90 through 99.
For each access code you can select the type of routing, configured in the Outbound Routing
applet, the number of digits to collect after the access code, and whether or not to provide dial
tone after that particular access code is dialed.
