Long distance dialing
prefix
This is the prefix that is used by the system to dial out of the
switch and access the public network or a private network in
order to place a long distance call.
Format
The prefix you enter will depend on whether you use a private
network or a public network to place long distance calls.
Typical examples of long distance dialing prefixes are 91 or 81
in North America, or 90 or 80 in Germany, to access the public
network, or 6 to access a private ESN network.
International dialing
prefix
This is the prefix that is used by the system to dial out of the
switch and access the public network or a private network in
order to place an international call.
Format
The prefix you enter will depend on whether you use a private
network or a public network to place international calls. Typical
examples of international dialing prefixes in North America are
9011 or 8011 to access the public network, or 6011 to access a
private ESN network.
An international dialing prefix in England, for example, is 900.
ESN dialing prefix
This is the prefix that is used by the system to access the private
ESN network.
Local system defaults
Local system defaults identify the country and the area/city
codes of the switch connected to your Meridian Mail.
You will fill out these fields to inform Meridian Mail of its
location within the public network. This information is used by
dialing translations to determine how to translate a number.
Country code
Identify the country code for your system. (For instance, it is 1
for the U.S.A. and Canada. It is 44 for England, 61 for Austria,
and 86 for China.)
