Speeddial Key
The normal function of the speeddial option allows you to dial a number quickly by
pressing a key configured for speeddialing. You can program the keys on the 57i CT
to speeddial outside numbers, dial directly to another person’s line or extension, or
set up to quickly access features such as Caller ID (*69), Voicemail.
The speeddial function can be set using the IP Phone UI or the Aastra Web UI.
Speeddial Prefix
The speeddial feature also allows you to specify a preset string of numbers followed
by a “+” that the phone dials automatically after pressing the speeddial key. You can
use this feature for numbers that contain long prefixes.
For example, if you had the following speeddial configuration in the Aastra Web UI:
Key 1
Type=speeddial
Label=Europe Office
Value=
Line=2
then, after you press key 1 on the phone, the prefix number displays on the phone
screen. The phone proceeds to dial the prefix number automatically and pauses for
you to enter the remaining phone number using the keypad on the phone.
You can save up to 30 speeddial numbers on the 57i CT.
Use the following procedures to set speeddial on the 57i CT IP phone.
Note: You can use a speeddial key while on an active call by placing the active
call on hold first, and then pressing the speeddial key.
