5i Series IP Phone Release Notes
Autodial (Hotline and Warmline) Feature
This release of the Aastra IP phones includes an “Autodial” feature. 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: 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).
Note:
Please read the following 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.
