13-14 SmartSwitch 1800 4. 0 User G uide, Rev 01
Auto Poll
enables or disables auto polling if Auto Dial is set to Y . When Auto Poll is enabled, the
SmartSwitch 1800 polls the destination device with the frequency specified by Auto
Poll Timer . If the poll is not acknowledged, the SmartSwitch will "busy out" the
channel. This parameter can be useful in situations where the destination is an emer-
gency number that must always be available. If the destination does not answer the
automatic poll, the busy-out condition will notify an attached PBX that the emergency
call should be routed to another call routing device.
Auto Poll Timer
is the frequency with which an Auto Poll will be sent.
Enhanced Dialing Parameters
Dial Timer
is a delay the SmartSwitch 1800 will use to determine when variable-length dialing is
complete. (Variable-length dialing allows the user to place a call without entering the
configured number of digits for the speed dial number.)
When the operator of the attached voice/fax equipment dials a digit that is not the con-
figured
Long Dial Prefix , the SmartSwitch 1800 assumes a speed-dial number is being
dialed and activates the Dial Timer . If the timer expires with no new digit entries, the
SmartSwitch will assume dialing is complete.
A setting of 0 means the Dial Timer will never expire. (The SmartSwitch
1800 will wait indefinitely for the operator to enter the digits.)
If the number of dialed digits is less than the value specified for Speed Map Dial Digits
in Voice System-Level Configuration, the SmartSwitch 1800 will "pad" the dialed
number with leading zeros before searching the speed-dial map table. For example,
assume
Speed Map Dial Digits is 4 and the user dials 33 when the Dial Timer expires.
The speed dial number 0033 will be used to search the map table for a defined desti-
nation.
Note that regardless of the Dial Timer setting, any of the following conditions and/or
configurations will disable variable-length dialing:
1.Long-call-format dialing is being used. The SmartSwitch 1800 assumes this
format is being used if the first digit dialed is the character configured for Long
Dial Prefix .
2. # of Leading Digits to Delete is set to any value greater than 0 .
3. Auto Dial is set to Y .
Source of Extended Digits
specifies (if Extended Dial Digits in Voice System-Level Configuration is greater than
0 ) the source of the extended digits when the user of attached equipment dials a speed-
dial number.
When MAP is specified for Source of Extended Digits , extended digits are taken from
the Extended Dial String in the speed-dial map table. When USER is specified, extended
digits are taken from the user of attached equipment (i.e., the user must dial a speed-
dial number and an extended digit string).
See the Store and Forward Dialing examples on page C-1 for more information about
how this parameter is used.
