Configuring Abbreviations

The AastraLink Pro 160 allows you to define a list of abbreviated numbers to be used as a shortcut when dialing from a phone connected to the AastraLink Pro. These are numbers that are frequently used for system-wide shortcuts.

For each abbreviation that is configured, when the abbreviation is dialed from IVR menu or IP phone, the AastraLink places the outgoing call using the full specified number instead. This provides an effective system-wide speed dial or shortcut dialling method, and allows for exceptions to other features such as barred numbers to be provisioned.

The AastraLink automatically dedicates the prefix ’1’ for abbreviated numbers in the dialing plan. The abbreviated number that you set must be two digits and is limited to 100 numbers (00 to 99). This abbreviated number is a virtual extension, which is entirely separate from the extension number of the users IP phone. For more information about creating virtual extensions, see Chapter 3, the section, “Virtual Extension Numbers” on page 3-16.

The Administrator can create, edit, and/or delete abbreviated numbers. Note: On the global dial plan, abbreviated numbers are reserved as primary digit 1.
