Phone automatically dials

[GTVaughan]

Hello,

I am really new to the phone programming, excuse the lack of using the right word terminology...
We currently a 2008 meridian phone.

I would like to program it so it automatically dials an extension when you pick up the receiver?
How do I do this?

aa = number of dial digits
bbbb = extension DN

Thank you so much for your help!!
I am afraid I have another stupid question..

What is, number of dial digits(aa)?

 

[DavidGaud]

Hi
for example:

Hot d 4 6329
Hot d 8 98881234


In the first example when you will pick up the line it will automatically dial 6329 (aa=4 then dial 4 digits) and in the second one it will dial 98881234 (aa=8 then dial 8 digits)...

Is that ok ?

Ciao
David

Hey guys...

Sorry I went on vacation and never had a chance to try this....

Now that I have tried it.. It doesn't seem to work.

I get no dialtone from the key on the phone that I programmed as per above... Am I missing something?

When you press the key you won't hear dial tone, it will just dial the number. Wait to see if it connects.

 

[GTVaughan]

Thank you for your response !

I press the key and it does not connect.. I do have this key on the 4th key.. along with other extensions.. Would this matter?

 

[ArchTelecom]

With other extensions? Only one extension or feature per key.

I assumed you programmed it as follows:
at the prompt of ITEM you entered key 03 hot d 4 XXXX where XXXX is the extension number you are dialing. Key 03 is the 4th key. If you programmed it on key 04, then press the next key up (5th key) and see if it works. Telephone people start their count from 0 instead of 1...go figure. This would make the 4th key key 03.
