SpeedDial with pauses 2

[JEFBEL]

Hi

Wanting to set up a Speed Dial. I've done it many times before as an ADL and had no issues. I need to create a pause after the dialed number and then have a 4-digit code automatically dialed. Seemed I used to be able to do this with a "**" but that doesn't seem to work now. Any insights are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Personal Speed Dial or system wide ? I also thought it could be done with an *

I should have been clearer. Setting up AutoDial on individual lines on a Nortel CS1000 system. Meridian phones - mixture of 2008, 2016, 3903, 3904. Again, I can set up the AutoDial fine but the pauses don't seem to pause correctly.

On a 39xx series the user guide says there is a pause key, might be a soft key that pops up

I think you're correct on the 39xx phones. You can change numbers at the phone. My challenge are the 26xx's. They are the vast majority.

If your calls are going out on a PRI then you won't be able to insert a pause. At least not using speed dial or autodial.
If you have some analog trunks then you can try sending the call that way.
PRI's want to see only a valid digit string, usually 7, 10 or 11 digits in North America. Too many digits or *'s and the call will be blocked.

not ideal, but setup one auto dial to dial the number, then setup a 2nd auto dial to dial the code.

I think you can insert pauses in the personal directory of a 3904 set that will work.
