This section tells your system how to dial the access number. At the bottom of the screen there is a 'key' to help you set this up. The letters E, F, and G are just variables. They take the place of the numbers they represent. The first line is For Local calls. The second line is For Long Distance calls. The third is For International calls. Make sure you set up the pattern the way you would need to dial the number in that area. See the following examples:

Local: 9,G (dial "9" to get an outside line, then dial the number without the area code)
Long distance 9,1FG (dial "9" then dial 1 + area code + number)
International: 9,011,EFG (dial "9" then dial 011 + country code + area code + number)

When finished, click OK to save the dialing patterns.
