Speed Dial and Abbreviated Dial

Cisco Unified CallManager supports the configuration of up to 99 speed-dial entries, which are accessed through phone buttons and abbreviated dialing.

When the user configures up to 99 speed-dial entries, part of the speed-dial entries can get assigned to the speed-dial buttons on the IP phone; the remaining speed-dial entries get used for abbreviated dialing. When a user starts dialing digits, the AbbrDial softkey displays, and the user can access any speed-dial entry by entering the appropriate index. For information about configuring speed dials, see “Configuring Speed-Dial Buttons” in the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.

Phone Association

Users can control some devices, such as phones. Applications that are identified as users control other devices, such as CTI ports. When users have control of a phone, they can control certain settings for that phone, such as speed dial and call forwarding. For more information on associating phones with users, refer to the “Associating Devices to an End User” section in the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.

Phone Administration Tips

The following sections contain information that may help you configure phones in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration.

Phone Search

The following sections describe how to modify your search to locate a phone. If you have thousands of Cisco Unified IP Phones in your network, you may need to limit your search to find the phone that you want. If you are unable to locate a phone, you may need to expand your search to include more phones.

Note Be aware that the phone search is not case sensitive.

Searching by Device Name

When you enter the MAC address of the device in the MAC Address field when you are adding the phone, you can search by using that value as the Device Name in the Find and List Phones window.

Searching by Description

If you enter a user name and/or extension in the Description field when you are adding the phone, you can search by using that value in the Find and List Phones window.
