Antwort
If you want to connect with provider prefixes to adequate telephone numbers or groups of telephone numbers you can realize it with special address entries. The Archive »System -> Database -> Provider Prefixes« answer this purpose.

Here you need to create address entries at these telephone numbers which are saved as »Displayed Name«(index card »Person«) which are wanted to use an additional prefix. Hereby the use of wildcards (*) is possible to cover whole groups of telephone numbers.

The archive »Provider Prefixes« has to be acivated for remote acces.

The additional prefix in this address entry has to be entered as the business telephone number. For example: To use the additional prefix »01234« at all telephone numbers automatically which begin with the figures »08«, you have to create an address entry with the string »08*« as »Displayed Name« and enter the telephone number »01234« as the business phone number.

If you want to use the provider prefixes also to send faxes you have to ensure that the script is processed, too.To activate the script execution please edit the follwoing string in the TLD.INI files of all fax ports:
FaxTXScript = True
