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
6757i CT to speeddial outside numbers, dial directly to another person’s line or
extension, or set up to quickly access features such as Do Not Disturb (DND),
Voicemail.
The speeddial function can be set using the IP Phone UI or the Packet8 Web
Phone 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 Packet8 Web
Phone 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 6757i CT.
Use the following procedures to set speeddial on the 6757i CT IP phone.
