Autodial Settings
The IP phones include a feature called “Autodial”. When you configure Autodial on an IP phone,
the phone automatically dials a preconfigured number whenever it is off-hook. Depending on the
configuration you specify, the Autodial functions as either a “
hotline
”, or as a “
warmline
,” as
follows:
•
Hotline (default)
: The IP phone immediately dials a preconfigured number when you lift the
handset.
•
Warmline
: The IP phone waits for a specified amount of time after you lift the handset before
dialing a preconfigured number. If you do not dial a number within the time allotted, then the
IP phone begins to dial the number.
By default, the Autodial feature functions as a hotline. If you want Autodial to function as a
warmline, you can use the Autodial “time-out” parameter to specify the length of time (in seconds)
the IP phone waits before dialing a preconfigured number.
As administrator, you configure Autodial globally, or on a per-line basis, for an IP phone. The line
setting overrides the global setting. For example, you can disable Autodial on a specific line
simply by setting the line’s autodial number parameter to empty (blank).
Configuring AutoDial Using the Configuration Files
You use the following parameters to configure Autodial using the configuration files:
Global Configuration
• sip autodial number
• sip autodial timeout
Per-Line Configuration
• sip lineN autodial number
• sip lineN autodial timeout
Note: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
before configuring Autodial on
your IP phone:
• Any speeddial numbers that you configure on an IP phone are not
affected by autodial settings.
• If you configure autodial on your IP phone, any lines that function as
hotlines do not accept conference calls, transferred calls, and/or
intercom calls.
Configuration Files
For specific parameters you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section, “Autodial
Settings” on page A-129.
