VoiCe Calls
For most voice calls you can simply enter the telephone number of the person you want called. Consider the location of the
IMS-4000 Host when entering the number. If an area code is required to call from the Host to your telephone, be sure to
include it.
Examples:
No area code required: 555-1234
Area code required: (610)-555-1234
1 + area code required: 1-(610)-555-1234
You can also include additional codes within the telephone number. Listed below are the special code letters and a descrip-
tion of each:
p = 2-second pause
w = wait for answer
b = blind dialing (makes the unit dial and start speaking the message without requesting that a key be pressed)
! = flashes the phone line (momentary hang-up and reconnect, useful in some PBX systems)
These codes can be useful if you want to call an extension within a business. For example, suppose your office was answered
by an auto-attendant, but you know that if you dialed the extension the call would be transferred. In this case you can pro-
gram the telephone number, insert a w to wait for the auto-attendant to answer, and then add the extension you want dialed.
Example: 555-1234-w-170 {Extension 170 will be dialed after the auto-attendant answers}
nUMeriC paGer Calls
The IMS-4000 can send alarm messages to numeric pagers. It will automatically send its ID telephone number when dialing
to a numeric pager. All you have to do is enter the telephone number of your pager. Be sure to include the (area code) or 1 +
(area code), as necessary.
Example: (301)565-2300
If your pager service is answered by a voice-prompted message, or if your pager service allows only a few seconds to enter
a number before disconnecting, you will need to enter the telephone number differently. In this case, enter the pager tele-
phone number + two or more pauses + the Host ID telephone number + #.
Example: (301)565-2300-pp-844-1900-#
