iii)
Select a call address from the stack:
Use a
received voice call from the stack as a call
address (refer to “Viewing the Stack”, on
page 14).
iv)
Enter a call address using the keypad:
Enter
your desired call address using the DTMF
keypad (keys 0 ~ 9,, and #). Refer to the
appendix {page 20} for the available dial
strings and control codes.
10
2Initiate the call, depending on how you selected
the call address.
