Dial 9 for DID Fax line

[cardinalGLZ]

Hello,
Anyway to configure DID fax to skip AC1 (Dial 9 for outside line)? I've read about Pre-translation tables but unsure on the best route for this... Could someone give me some guidance on this... Thanks!

Not sure - we have a mix of 1FB and analog trunk faxes and we just post on the fax to dial 9 or not. It has been that way since before my time.

PRE Translation is easy if thats the way you want to go. You have to setup 2 SCL's (Used to translate the dialed leading digit) a default one and one for your fax so an example

SCL 0
stor 0 0 <-- drops the leading 0 and replaces with 0
stor 1 1 <-- drops the leading 1 and replaces with 1
stor 2 2
all the way to
stor 9 9

SCL 1
stor 0 90 <-- drops the leading 0 and replaces with 90
stor 1 91 <-- drops the leading 1 and replaces with 91
stor 2 92
all the way to
stor 9 99

Then PRE 0 set as XLAT 0
PRE 1 set as XLAT 1

In LD 15 (FTR) you need to set PREO to 1 to enable the feature

All sets would default to XLST 0 so digits are replaced with same digit as per SCL 0. Whereas your fax you change to XLST 1 in the set config so that digits would be prefixed with 9 as per SCL 1. Most config is in LD 18 (SCL, PRE) you may need to do the CDB bit first cant remember, this will be detailed in the Freature Guides under pre-translations.

Wow, great information I'll give it a try thanks.

You probably want to avoid using XLST 1 for a phone because that is the default XLST used by attendant consoles. Better to use XLST 2.
Gene has a very good step-by-step on his website

I've used it many times. XLST 2 is always a good table to use. Here is my very old guide below.

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

Thanks! I think that puts me in the right direction! It's amazing how many complaints you get when someone has to dial an extra digit... I guess most people don't like change...
