The dialing delays, which may not be perceived by hotel guests, will occur when
dialing 6 and 7. The server must wait for the 3- to 9-second interdigit timeout to
expire before the call will be sent. The user can preempt the timer by pressing the
# key after the number has been dialed.
NOTE:
When using prefixed extensions, the extension that shows up on a
display phone does not show the prefix. The prefix will not show up
on CDR reports. If extension number 3315 is prefixed with a 6 and
the dial plan shows 3xxx for extensions, it is possible to dial either
3315 or 63315 to reach extension 3315. If the dial plan was changed
to remove the entry for extensions in the 3xxx block, then 3315 could
be reached only by dialing 63315.
Considerations
Mixed Station Numbering allows guest room numbers and room
extensions to be the same.
You cannot assign prefixed extensions longer than seven digits (including
prefix) to intercom lists.
A TAC and an extension can share a first digit only if the extension is
shorter than the TAC.
Although extensions with the same first digit can have different lengths,
data-channel extensions must have the maximum number of digits to avoid
timeout problems for data calls that the switch automatically sets up, for
example, via the CDR link.
An extension and a FAC can share the same first digit only if the extension
is longer as long as they are not used for AAR/ARS faxes. These
extensions work only within the switch; they do not work as remote UDP
extensions.
You should administer the Short Interdigit Timeout on the Feature-Related
System Parameters screen to ensure that the delay between the end of
dialing and call completion is not too long.
Interactions
Attendant Display and Telephone Display
Prefixed extensions display without the prefix. The return call button
causes the prefix to dial, even though it does not display.
