## Using the Optional Star Prefix Dialing Plan

1. Access the Dialing Plan menu (see steps 1-3 above).

2. To use the Star Prefix dialing plan, select (E) Optional Star Prefix Dplan. For example:

   - If you need a star prefix for Dial By Name, specify the trigger digit:

     Select (E) Dial By Name Dplan Digit and enter the digit that will precede a star to trigger the Dial-by-Name prompt. (For example, to trigger the prompt, "Please enter a mailbox number or press 8 to dial by name." enter "8".)

   - If you need a star prefix for call placement, specify the signal digit: Select (F) Call Placement Msg Delivery Dplan Digit and enter the digit that will precede a star to signal the server that the telephone number following the star is for call placement.

3. Save your entries by exiting to the NuPoint Voice Online Menu. If you chose to modify the Inactive Configuration in step 2, you need to activate the inactive configuration before your changes appear.
