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).

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.
