Establishing dialing rules
If you have not already specified dialing rules via a PC connected to a Data Jack,
you will be asked to specify them during installation of the first handset.
Note: Dialing Rules tell the system how to dial local and long-distance calls (for
example, when to dial “1” before an area code).
Once established, dialing rules can be changed via the handset Setup menu. For
details, see the Network Reference Manual that accompanied the Controller.
Procedure
1. When the following screen is displayed, press 1 (YES) if you must dial 10
digits to reach local numbers, then proceed to Step 2.
Press 2 (NO) if you do not need to dial 10 digits to reach local numbers,
then proceed to Step 3.
Note: 10-digit dialing is most common in rapidly growing major
metropolitan areas that have more than one area code in a dialing area.
Example
Metro Atlanta, Georgia, is a good example of a 10-digit dialing area.
Callers from within any of three Atlanta area codes can place local
(non-toll) calls to any other number within those three area codes by
dialing xxx-xxx-xxxx.
