Creating a Speeddial Key

The normal function of the speeddial option allows you to dial a number quickly by pressing a configured speeddial programmable key or keypad key. You can program the keys on the 6730i IP Phone to speeddial outside numbers, dial directly to another person’s line or extension, or set up to quickly access features such as Caller ID (*69), Voicemail.

Note: You can use a speeddial key while on an active call by placing the active call on hold first, and then pressing the speeddial key.

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 Aastra Web UI:

Key 1

Type=speeddial Label=Europe Office Value=1234567+ 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 7 speeddial numbers on the 6730i IP Phone.

You can create speeddial keys using any of the following methods:

Using the Aastra Web UI at the paths:

-Operation->Softkeys and XML

-Operation->Programmable Keys

-Operation->Speeddial Keys

Using the IP Phone UI at the path, Options->Preferences->Speeddial Edit

By pressing and holding a programmable or keypad key.
