Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) Also called: DNIS
A feature of 800 and 900 telephone lines that provides the number that was dialed to the
receiving telephony system. This enables the receiving system to accurately route the call,
and allows for many 800 or 900 numbers to be routed through a single telephony system.

Dialing Exception The rule defined by the Strata CS administrator that tells Strata
CS when it should dial the area code of a phone number, and when it should dial the number
as a local call. Strata CS invokes these rules whenever it dials a number automatically, such
as when a user places a call to a contact or returns a call from a voice mail message.
Dialing service Mechanism for routing outbound calls to the trunk type appropriate
for that call. For example, routing phone calls to a normal telephone service trunk, Internet
calls to an Internet trunk, and Centrex calls to a Centrex trunk. By default Strata CS comes
with one dialing service, Phone Number, that routes all calls to your telephone trunks.
When placing a call, users select the dialing service to use by dialing the access code for
that service before dialing the number, for example 9 to place an external call.
