Automatic Telephone Dialing System:
This program
has a built in intelligent Telephone\Speakerphone Dialing System,
that dials all of your phone calls for you and tells you
if they are local, local toll, long distance,
long distance toll, or international
and can output up to 20 follow on codes after dialing long distance.
The program stores & dials up to one BILLION phone numbers for you,
and will dial from:
Dallas to New York,
Sydney to Melbourne,
or London to Leeds!
Overview:
This dialer is installed from Other Options Menu, Install menu, option 5. ì
[The Install menu is presented to you upon initial installation, but you ì
can return to it at any time.] Once installed, it can differentiate ì
between local and long distance area codes, and can even dial a local toll ì
call for you. It can dial through your PBX, if necessary, and can even ì
connect to a local access number for a long distance dialing service, and ì
then input up to 20 digits.
The dialing feature is available to you at these screens: Client file, ì
G)et option; Activity file, A)dd option; Activity file, G)et option. On ì
the bottom of these three screens you will observe either F8 to dial and F9 ì
to hang up, should you elect to hang up prematurely. Of the 3 entry points ì
into the dialing system, the most typically used is the Activity file, A)dd ì
option.
This will install the program for automatic phone dialing through a Hayes ì
or Hayes-compatible modem.
Install procedure for automatic phone dialing
In 2 of the following options you can enter characters mixed with numbers. ì
The purpose of this is to tell the modem to pause between dialing. The ì
comma does this. The exact time of the pause you will have to determine ì
through trial and error, but is generally 2 seconds per comma. For ì
example,
9,,,
would tell the modem to dial '9', then wait 6 seconds. The only other ì
valid dialing characters are:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 * #
Local Toll Numbers:
[your area code]è
The program will recognize local 'TOLL' calls if you enter the word 'TOLL' ì
as the first 4 letters in 'Referred by: ', in the Client File, Add or Get ì
option. With a toll call, the program will dial: PBX option + Toll Sequence ì
+ 7 digit phone number.
Long Distance Toll Numbers:
[any one area code other than yours]
Long distance toll dialing sequence. This must be an area code other than ì
yours. The program creates this Long Distance TOLL number:
PBX Prefix + Long Distance Toll Sequence + 7 digit number.
Enter word 'LDTL' in 'REFERRED BY' field, Client file, for LD Toll.
Follow on codes:
You can enter any code or up to 20 codes that follow your long distance ì
number, if you wish. Some long distance services, for example, use this ì
feature as a way of entering accounting codes for users. This option then ì
requires you enter F8 twice during dialing. Observe the 'Push F8 Again' ì
message.
Note on PBX dialing:
You can mix and match pulse with tone dialing. Precede your number with ì
'T' for tone, followed by 'P' to restore pulse. For example, 'T9,P' would ì
sent a '9' tone, followed by a pause [,], then restored to pulse with 'P'.
==Automatic dialing for countries outside of the U.S.A. and Canada:==
Establishing a default 'area code/STD':
You can do this in one of two places in this program. On the Installation ì
menu is option 5):
Install Automatic Phone Dialing through modem.
Once selected, this option gives you the ability to define your 'area ì
code/STD'. You can also select this value from the Other Option Menu, ì
option C):
Customize this system to your needs
Once there, you can select option 2:
2) Default State, City, State, Area Code
Once you define your 'area code/STD', the program will then assign that ì
value to all new records in the Client file, followed by a '/'. Let's say ì
that you assign an 'area code/STD' of '03'. Every time you add a record to ì
the Client file, you will see this as in the phone number field:
Phone: 03/
For all those numbers that fall within this STD, enter the local number ìèafter the '03/', without any spaces. For example:
Phone: 03/6465255
The program will interpret this to mean that the 'area code/STD' is '03', ì
while the local number is '6465255'. You can have up to 5 characters in ì
the 'area code/STD', with any combination of leading zeros. If your 'area ì
code/STD' has one digit, while an adjacent STD has 5, the program will ì
figure out which are local and which phone numbers are long distance and ì
will then dial them accordingly.
For the dialing system to work properly, you must identify an 'area ì
code/STD' for ALL numbers, including local ones. Also, the program uses ì
the '/' as a marker to distinguish between the 'area code/STD' and the ì
local number. Make sure that in your entry for phone number, you exclude ì
any spaces.
===== Australia: =====
Let≤á sa∙á tha⌠á yo⌡ arσ iε Melbourne¼á anΣ havσ customer≤á iεá Sydne∙á anΣ ì
Brisbane« Thei≥ completσ number≤ are:
STD Local Number
Melbourne 03 6465255 [your number, let's say]
Melbourne 03 6465252 [a branch office]
Sydney 02 6532389 [a customer]
Brisbane 07 3741311 [another customer]
First, you would enter '03' as your default 'area code/STD'. Then, in the ì
Client file, you would enter these numbers in the phone field:
First record 03/6465252 [a branch office]
second record 02/6532389 [a customer]
third record 07/3741311 [another customer]
Once you told the program to dial the number, the program would figure out ì
which are local, which are long distance, and would dial them accordingly.
===== Great Britain: =====
Within its STD's, Great Britain also uses a series of 'local codes'. ì
'Local codes' are defined to exist within one 'Dialing directory'.
Different STD's, same 'Dialing directory':
èIn some cases, two towns have different STDs but are so close that they can ì
dial each other with a 'local code' instead of using an STD. Observe, for ì
example, these two numbers:
STD Local Number
Bradford 0274 723101 [your number, let's say]
Yeadon, Leeds 0532 501496 [a customer]
Let's say, further, that Bradford and Yeadon are 10 miles apart and ì
Bradford can dial Yeadon by using a 'local code' of '92'. In that case you ì
can enter these numbers in either of two manners:
1) Define your default 'area code/STD' as '0274' and then identify the ì
Yeadon customer with its unique STD in this manner: 0532/501496. Once ì
the program sees '0532/501496', the program will dial the STD of '0532' and ì
then the local number of '501496'.
2) Define your default 'area code/STD' as '0274' as above, but enter the ì
local code instead of the STD for your Yeadon customer. Let's say you ì
entered: 92/501496. The program would then dial the local code of '92', ì
followed by the local number of '501496'.
===== Dialing Numbers Internationally: =====
Let's say that the number you are dialing does not fit into any of the ì
above categories, as would be the case when dialing from country to counì
try. If, for example, you are dialing from the United States to Australia, ì
the U.S. access code is '011', followed by the country code of '61'. Once ì
dialed, the city code is then entered, followed by the local number. One ì
example would be:
'011 61 3 5092911'
To dial these types of international numbers in the program, enter the ì
number into either COMMENT1 or COMMENT2 of the Client record, in this form:
INTL=011,61,3,5092911/
The 'INTL=' code tells the program to use this number for dialing, not ì
whatever appears in the telephone field. Each comma tells the modem to ì
pause for 2 seconds. The slash '/' tells the program where the last digit ì
lies. Without the slash, the 'INTL=' code will not work.
Observe that it does not matter where the 'INTL=' code is found in COMMENT1 ì
or COMMENT2, and case is irrelevant. 'INTL=' is that same as 'Intl='.
Once entered into the Client record, the entire code for your international ìènumber is carried over into each new activity record. Once inside the ì
activity record, the program will sense that this is an international ì
number and dial it accordingly, when requested from the activity file.
If you establish a PBX number, then it is dialed before the international ì
number.
