SPEED DIAL KEY
The normal function of the speed dial option allows you to dial a number quickly by pressing a
key configured for speed dialing. You can program the keys on the 6873i to speed dial outside
numbers, dial directly to another person’s line or extension, or quickly access features such as
Caller ID (*69) and voicemail.
You can create
Speed Dial
keys using any of the following methods:
•
Using the Mitel Web UI at the paths:
•
Operation > Softkeys and XML
•
Operation > Expansion Module Keys
•
Using the IP phone UI at the path
Options > Dialing > Speed Dial Edit
•
By pressing and holding a softkey, dialpad key, or expansion module key.
SPEED DIAL PREFIX
The speed dial feature also allows you to specify a preset string of numbers followed by a +
that the phone dials automatically after pressing the speed dial key. You can use this feature
for numbers that contain long prefixes.
For example, if you had the following speed dial configuration in the Mitel Web UI:
Key 1
Type: Speed Dial
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 dialpad on the phone.
Use the following procedures to set speed dial on the 6873i IP phone.
Note:
You can use a
Speed Dial
key while on an active call by placing the active call on
hold first, and then pressing the speed dial key.
