What is meant by “intelligent dialling”?
Intelligent dialling is the ability of the fax software to add (or remove) dialling prefixes as necessary. When intelligent dialling is enabled, all phone numbers are entered fully qualified (that means with the country code and area code) even if local to the calling system. Intelligent dialling would recognize that if a San Francisco number 555 1212 were to be dialled, say, from San Francisco, all that needs to be dialled is 555 1212 (or possibly 9 555 1212 , 9 being dialled to get an outside line). Similarly, if the same number were entered into a Faximum system installed in San Jose, then Faximum would dial 1 555 1212 . And if the number were entered into a Faximum system installed in New York, Faximum would dial 1 415 555 1212 . Similar automatic transformations occur with overseas numbers. The automatic addition (or removal) of dialling prefixes and area codes is referred to as intelligent dialling.
