Defining a Dialing Rule
Setting up dialing rules will help the fax server understand what your area requires. For
example, most locations in the United States require dialing a 1 before dialing a number
outside a local area code. When dialing within an area code, only 7 digits are needed.
Alternatively, if a local area uses 10-digit dialing, a user has to put in an area code plus the
7-digit phone number. As you can see, by setting up the dialing rules first, you keep your
users from having to enter numbers such as 1 before the area code.You can configure the
following options for dialing rules:
Dialed Number You can enter a region code and area code.
Target Device Choose to apply your rule to devices.
Configuring a Dialing Rule

- In the Dialed Number section of the Add New Rule dialog box, enter your region
code. If you are unsure, click Select and then choose from the list. - In the Target Device section, choose whether you want this rule to apply to a device
or a routing group and then choose from the list in the drop-down box. - Click OK.
