Directory Block

A Directory block defines necessary information about how the system Dial-by-Name

Directory will function. Note that in order for the directory feature to properly work, the

included subscribers must have recorded their names and entered DTMF values for them. This

information includes the maximum number of digits that a caller may enter to search for an

individual‟s name, the maximum number of names matching a caller‟s entry, and also, whether

or not to speak the extension number of the matching name to the called party.

The directory will search on extensions first. If no match is found, then it will search

mailboxes.

Description

Label Name

This is the name of the block. A block name can be any

alphanumeric string of up to 16 characters (including spaces). A

block name may not be the same as another block name.

Maximum

entry digits

This is the maximum number of digits the caller may enter, to

search for a target that a caller is trying to locate.

This is usually set to three because most people‟s names do not

have the same first three letters. This number can be between 1

and 10.
