Configuring Operational Features

Operational Features

Speeddial Prefixes

The normal function of the speeddial option allows you to configure a specific key on the phone to dial a number quickly by pressing the configured key. For example, if you had the following speeddial configuration in the configuration files:

softkey1 type: speeddial

softkey1 label: Office

softkey1 value: 5552345

softkey1 line: 1

after you press softkey1 on the phone, it dials the Office number at 555-2345 on line 1.

A new feature for the speeddial option allows you to configure a preset string of numbers followed by a “+”. This feature allows the phone to speeddial a prefix number and then pause to let you enter the remaining phone number. You can use this feature for numbers that contain long prefixes. For example, if you had the following speeddial configuration in the configuration files:

softkey2 type: speeddial

softkey2 label: Europe Office

softkey2 value: 1234567+

softkey2 line: 2

after you press softkey2 on the phone, it dials the prefix number automatically and pauses for you to enter the remaining number using the keypad on the phone.

You can configure the speeddial prefix using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.
