Programming Steps
1. Lines > DID
Here’s an explanation of the columns in the DSX T1 DID translation table:
- Configuration [3301] Number of DID Digits: Number of DID digits being sent by the carrier (in this example it’s 4)
- Translations [3302] DID Entry: The DID digits being sent by the carrier (in this example it’s 1003)
- Translations [3302] Day Translation: The personal station number (in this example it’s 303)
- Translations [3302] Night Translation: The personal station number (in this example it’s 303)
- Translations [3302] DID Name: The DID/station name or description
2. System > System Numbering
- Go to the Stations Tab / Assignments [1311] Menu.
- In the System Numbering Table, find the extension that you just created in the DID Translation Table – in this example it’s 303 – and name it accordingly.
3. Stations > Config
- Make sure that at the top of the page, the Extension and Station numbers match the station you’re setting up. (In this example, we’re editing Ext 303 and Sta 3).
- Go to the Options Tab
- Find the Hunt/Overflow [2115] Menu
– Hunt Type: Line RNA
– Hunt Destination: 700 (pilot number for Vmail)
