I do not have a BCM system. I have a call pilot system. line 032 is a POTS line. Should I have this use a route as opposed to a line? Why do I need Link Transfer? Does the system just pick up the line and dial and connect it through? Any further advice would be much appreciated.
No the samething isn't happening as you stated in the original question above, the call disconnected. Now you are getting a Telco message. Have you tried using the BCM Monitor program to see what you are sending out on the Line??

This is an Analogy so don't take it personally as some have.
Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.
CallPilot is a VOICEMAIL system and cannot process any form of calls on it's own without an associated telephone system.
If you wish help you need to provide information that is requested of you. Not only that, you may learn something in the process.
A BCM (which contains Call Pilot) will be look like a gray server with a 2 LAN ports on the front and all wiring runs out the right side (BCM 200/400/1000) or a small box with a single cable running out the right and 3 or more LAN ports to the left (BCM 50).
A Norstar is a larger gray box with all wiring on exiting the bottom and can either be about 24 inches by about 12 inches with other long skinny boxes attached (MICS) or about 16 inches by about 6 inches (CICS). Both Norstar types will have another small thin grey box near them with rounded corners and this box is the Call Pilot.
Please select which description most closely mathces what you have and we can move on from there.
No matter which system you have you should not have a # before the number you want dialed unless you are doing a LINK TRANSFER. Which does not sound like what you are trying to do. The # acts like a hook flash or link back to the CO.
Before we waste more of our time guessing what you have, lets try and find out what you do have. What does it say on the box either on the front or back. we can't help you fix it if you can't tell us what you have.

OK you have a Norstar MICS Keysystem and it has a CP Vmail, so you are in the wrong Forum, you want the Norstar forum.
you will get better answers there.

Do you have a line pools built? If so, the path you built for external transfer should use pool 1 (pool A) to dial out, and no # in the dial out string.
RikRodgers,
I changed the setup as you indicated. Now when I dial the extension it says "The routing information for this call is not valid" Can something else be wrong with our setup? I do use line pools. They are used so my sets can get an outside line. Your help is appreciated.
