Telix has a "default" setup -- that's what you change when you change the
setup.  But there's also the individual setups for each entry in the dialing
directory.  I've never used Telix on a direct connection, so I don't know if
you even use a dial entry to do that.  Telix may not go back to the
"default" after making a call that changes those defaults, but if you have
each entry setup correctly, this won't cause a problem.
