USING LONG DISTANCE CODES
A Long Distance code is an advanced dialing option which adds
some flexibility. There are four Long Distance code charac-
ters: !, @, $, and +, which when encountered while dialing
expand to user-defined strings (see section below on revising
Long distance codes).
If Telix is dialing a number from a dialing directory entry,
and one of the Long Distance code characters is encountered in
the number, Telix will instead send whatever string has been
assigned to that code. For example, a dialing directory entry
could contain the phone number '!967-1111'. If the string
'9,,' was assigned to the ! LD code character, Telix when di-
aling this entry would first send the 9 followed by the com-
mas, and then send the rest of the digits.
LD codes may also be used with the 'List' dial function. When
you place one of them in front of or behind an entry number to
dial, it will be expanded to a string. For example you could
have the exclamation sign '!', be expanded to '9,', or any
string you specify. You may place up to 3 Long Distances codes
in front and one Long Distance code after each entry number.
For example, specifying the entry '+21!' would send the string
for the '+' Long Distance code, followed by the number from
entry 21, followed by the string for Long Distance code '!'.
The string
'10 +15 20!'
entered at the prompt would dial entry 10, then entry 15 with
a Long Distance code in front of it, and finally entry number
20, with a Long Distance code after it. These numbers are re-
dialed repeatedly until a connection is reached. To learn
about the redial window see the Redial function below.
