Defining Local or Toll Exchanges for Fax Devices

When setting up a fax device for the system, you need to enter telephone exchange information.

For each local area code in which your company resides, identify which exchanges within the area code are local and which are toll. Identify the area code and then create a list of either the local exchanges or toll exchanges within the area code.

If most of the exchanges within a local area code are toll exchanges, create a list of the local exchanges.
If most of the exchanges within a local area code are local exchanges, create a list of the toll exchanges.

To create a list of local exchanges:

From the System > System Files > Printer Setup menu, select Assign Printer/Fax to display the Assign Printer/Fax screen.
In the Printer/Fax # field, enter the ID of the fax device to set up.
Use the Fax Setup hot key to display the Fax Setup screen.
In the Exchanges are field, press F10 and select Local.
Use the Local Exchanges hot key to display the Area Code screen.
Do one of the following:

Select New, enter an area code at the prompt, and press Enter.
Select an area code and press Enter.

The Local Exch's screen displays.

Enter the local exchanges and press Esc.

If you create a list of local exchanges, the system considers all other exchanges within that area code to be toll exchanges.
If you do not list any exchanges on the Local Exch's screen for an area code, the system considers all exchanges for that area code to be local exchanges.

Note: If you change the entry in the Exchanges are field, the exchange numbers in the Local Exch's list do not change. The system then interprets those numbers in the opposite way they were previously interpreted.

To create a list of toll exchanges:
