Detailed description of Default Dialing

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2012 |

Data terminal users use the computer keyboard to dial. With Default Dialing, a data-terminal user can place a data call to a pre-administered destination by doing either of the following:

  • Pressing Enter at the DIAL: prompt (for data terminals using DCP data modules).

    The data-terminal user with a DCP data module can place calls to other destinations by entering the complete address after the DIAL: prompt (normal data terminal dialing or alphanumeric dialing).

  • Typing d and pressing Enter at the CMD: prompt. For data terminals that use ISDN-BRI data modules.

    To place calls to other destinations, the user calls types d, a space, the complete address, and press Enter after the CMD: prompt.

Note:

DU-type hunt groups that connect the system to a terminal server on a host computer have hunt-group extensions set to no keyboard dialing.
