Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications) / remote meter readouts
German term or phrase: Amtsholkennziffer
This is about the phone conection for the remote meter readouts, using dialling codes (area & country).

Sollte einmal die Vorwahl oder eine Amtsholkennziffer eingegeben werden, so kann dies in der Systemsteuerung des Rechners geschehen, ohne eine Rufnummer in XXXX (the software) selber anpassen zu müssen.

NDD prefix/code
Explanation:
This is the number prefixed to the combination of the exchange number and subscriber number to indicate a national call (usually '0' in Europe);

ref:

NDD Prefix (National Direct Dialing)

The NDD prefix is the access code used to make a call WITHIN that country from one city to another (when calling another city in the same vicinity, this may not be necessary). The NDD is followed by the city/area code for the place you are calling (city/area codes, where applicable, can be viewed by following the link from the country name on the table below). Phone numbers are often written in this format: +44-(0)1224-XXXX-XXXX. This expresses the numbers used for both international and national long-distance calls. In the example, +44 indicates the country code, while (0) indicates the NDD. When dialing from outside the country, the NDD would not be used after dialing the country code; when dialing from within that country, the NDD would be used, but the country code would not. NOTE: All city/area codes used on this site are expressed for use in international calling; for national calls, prefix the area/city code with the NDD.

That should read 'combination of the area code and subscriber number'

Thanks for all your help, Ken. I translate mainly into UK English and so I'll put "STD prefix" (STD=Subscriber Trunk Dialling).
