Hello.

I have taken over a job on a previously setup system. Here is the situation:

Fax machine extensions( all connected to SLI cards in a idcs 500 R1 system) are automatically dial 9 as soon as they go off-hook.

However, I need to change this to dial a particular trunk group instead of dialing 9.

I would normally go into MMC 306 Hot line and assign the trunk number(to the fax extension) as well as go into MMC 502 and change the off-hook selection timer to 0 or 1 seconds for that extension. So it would immediately assess the trunk group as soon as it went off-hook.

However, this is apparently being done by a different method and I can't figure out how these SLI lines are automatically dialing 9 without the use of MMC 306.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks.

Well your right about MMC 306. It is also the only place in the Samsung system where you can assign an off hook select. I would check the fax machines to see if they have some sort of off hook dial 9 programing. Also have you tried a butset connected directly to one of the analog ports. If you go off hook on your butset does it put you on a trunk or do you have intercom dial tone? This would rule out the Samsung as the culprit.

Check mmc 307 off hook select.

Have you checked to see if they are using LCR Route tables & Modify Digit Table. (MMC 712-713)

Yah, I was thinking the same as Connexions1. If its not hotline, then it would be a mod table. If its neither, then it MUST be something on the user side outside of Samsung.

Hi.

I have not yet been back to the site to test out the regular phone on the line to rule out the fax machine itself doing the trunk selection.

I have the system setup in MMC 724 dial number plan under " features" to set LCR to " 9"

So all phone which dial 9 to get outside line will automatically be going through the LCR process to select the best trunk for the area code dial(setup in the LCR tables mentioned) .

However, these fax machines are automatically grabbing outside lines without dialing 9 and without having a hot line setup to dial 9 for the extension.

There fax machines are connected to SLI lines in the system and I can dial from other phones in the office.

Perhaps this dialing might be happening on the fax machine itself because I can't think of any other way the Samsung system can link a SLI line to a trunk group without doing a off-hook trunk selection in MMC 306?

Thanks for your help guys. I will try to keep you updated when(or if) I find out how this is occurring in this setup.

Again,
Check mmc 307 I'd bet it's set up to dial the 9.

Thank you for the suggestions.

May I ask what is MMC 307 ?

My PCMMC software nor my tech manual shows that program listed.

Do you mean MMC 306 Hot Line/off hook selection ?

Perhaps in Canada your Hot line/ off hook selection program is called MMC 307 instead of MMC 306?

Thanks.

307 does not show in my OfficeServ Manager but if you try programming from a phone it is there.

306 is Hot Line and 307 is Off Hook Select. You need to use 307. I tested it here in my office on an iDCS 100 R1.

306 is Hot Line and 307 is Off Hook Select and these are 2 separate programs that do the exact same thing?

My apologizes to pvj, I thought you were referring to MMC 306 hotline but it name labeled slightly different in the Canadian version vs US version.

I am not sure why Samsung has these hidden secrete programs which are do not show up in the software or manual?

Anyway, that sounds like it may be exactly what I'm looking for!

I have not been to the physical site in a while, only remote access via pcmmc. So it may been a while until I can let you know how it turns out.

However, I am very hopeful that the MMC 307 may be the thing I was looking for.

Thanks.

MMC 307 must not be in all systems ... I can't find it on my OS7400 V3.32. Very odd.

307 was in all DCS, Compact, 50SI and some 100R1's. 306 was for internal and 307 for external. They have combined both into 306 now

You are right. I was unable to find MMC 307 in the idcs 500 R1 system. However, I found an older DCS manual which shows both MMC 306 and MMC 307.

I guess that leaves me back to square 1 of testing to see if the fax machines themselves have a setting of pre-dialing the trunk group.
