Character Description
X The messaging system inserts the subscriber extension.
Use this code only when the subscriber extension ID is the same as the phone
extension the messaging system is dialing.
, Comma. The messaging system pauses for one second when the comma
character is encountered in the dialing string. Change the number of milliseconds
in the Comma field on the System > Switch > Dialout page to change the pause
length.
; Semicolon. The messaging system pauses for 3 seconds when the semicolon
character is encountered in a dialing string.
Set the number of milliseconds in the Semicolon field on the System > Switch >
Dialout page to change the pause length.
& Ampersand. The messaging system completes a hookflash (goes on hook, then
off hook) when this character is encountered in the dialing string. This character is
commonly used to access special features on the phone system or to initiate a
transfer.
Set the number of milliseconds in the Ampersand field on the System > Switch >
Dialout page to change the hookflash length of time.
% Percent. The messaging system completes a longer hookflash than the
ampersand then goes off hook. On some messaging systems, having an active
hookflash is equivalent to disconnecting and reinstating a call and is used for recall.
Set the number of milliseconds in the Percent field on the System > Switch >
Dialout page to adjust the length of time that the messaging system is on and off
systemwide.
: Colon ( : ). Use with cut
caller's phone number awaits an answer, and then dials the number following the
colon.
For example, on the subscriber notification page with a pager phone device, the
following dialing string: 1234567:999 is typed in the Other number field. This
example assumes the outdial trigger length is set to 7; therefore the outdial access
code 9, is automatically inserted at the beginning of the dial string.
The messaging system dials 9,1234567. When the paging system answers, the
messaging system dials the phone number entered by the caller, followed by 999.
M M. Use with cut
number entered by the calling party when paging a subscriber. For example, on the
subscriber notification page with a pager phone device, the following dialing string:
1234567:*M999 is typed in the Other number field. This example assumes the
outdial trigger length is set to 7; therefore the outdial access code 9, is
automatically inserted at the beginning of the dial string.
The messaging system dials 9,1234567 to deliver a message to the subscriber
pager. When the paging system answers, the messaging system dials *, then the
phone number entered by the caller, then 999.
If you do not include the M special dialing character after the colon, the messaging
system dials the calling party's phone number immediately after the paging system
answers.
P The messaging system uses pulse dialing. Include the P special dialing character
before all dialout phone numbers to use pulse dialing systemwide.
Q Disconnect the call. This character is used as the connect sequence in the dialing
code page to release the call to the phone system. This character is useful when
the call is not meant to be completed. For example, message deliveries to a pager.
T The messaging system uses tone dialing. Use this character only when a number
must be dialed as an in-band tone. For example, a pager call.
