Note: If you specify multiple extension lengths, Avaya one-X Communicator performs exact matches. For example, if you specify 3, 5, 7, Avaya one-X Communicator treats three-digit numbers, five-digit numbers, and seven-digit numbers as internal extensions. In this example, if you dial a one-digit, two-digit, or four-digit number, Avaya one-X Communicator does not recognize the numbers to be internal extensions.

9. In the Length of national phone numbers (including area/city code) field,

• Enter the number of digits you must dial (including area/city code) for a call within your country.




• For countries with multiple phone number lengths, enter all supported phone number lengths separated by a comma.

10. If you entered an area or city code in Step 4, select the Include area/city code when making a local call check box if you are required to prefix the area or city code while making a local call. For example, for Lincroft area in the U.S., entering an area code is mandatory. Therefore, you must select the check box. However, for Basking Ridge area in the U.S., entering an area code is not mandatory, and you need not select the check box.

11. If you want Avaya one-X Communicator to display a confirmation window before it dials a number, select the Display confirmation window before dialing a number check box. This ensures that you can check whether the number to be dialed conforms to the dialing rules you set. If not, you can update the number. Avaya one-X Communicator then uses the updated number to make calls.

Public Directory screen Before you can access a public directory, you need to select the Public Directory check box in the Desktop Integration window. For the procedure, see Desktop Integration screen.
