Adding Abbreviated Dialing Lists
Abbreviated dialing is sometimes called speed dialing. It allows you to dial a short code in place of an
extension or phone number.
When you dial abbreviated-dialing codes or press abbreviated-dialing buttons, you access stored numbers
from special lists. These lists can be personal (a list of numbers for an individual phone), group (a
department-wide list), system (a system-wide list), or enhanced numbers (allows for a longer list of
numbers). The version and type of your system determine which lists are available and how many entries
you can have on each list.
NOTE:
You can designate all group-number lists, system-number lists, and enhanced-number lists
as “privileged.” Calls automatically dialed from a privileged list are completed without
class of restriction (COR) or facility restriction level (FRL) checking. This allows access
to selected numbers that some phone users might otherwise be restricted from manually
dialing. For example, a user may be restricted from making long-distance calls. However,
you can program the number of a branch office that is long distance into an AD list as
privileged. Then, the user can call this office location using AD, while still being restricted
from making other long-distance calls.
SECURITY ALERT:
!
Privileged group-number, system-number, and enhanced-number lists provide access to
numbers that typically would be restricted.
Instructions
As an example, we will program a new group list:
1
Type add abbreviated-dialing group next
and press
ENTER
.
The
Abbreviated Dialing List
screen appears. In our example, the next available group list is
group 3.
2
Enter a number (in multiples of 5) in the
Size
field. This number defines the number of entries on
your dialing list.
For example, if you have 8 phone numbers you want to store in the list, type
10
in the
Size
field.
