Customizing Phone Settings

Setting Up Speed Dial Features

Speed dial features allow you to press a button or enter an index code to place a call.

You can set up speed dialing for your phone in two ways:

•Speed dialing with a button—You can assign a speed dial number to any available programmable button on your phone that has not already been configured as a line, feature, or service button.

•Speed dialing with an index code—Using the Abbreviated Dialing feature, you can enter an assigned index number (1 to 99) rather than dialing the entire phone number.

Set up both types of speed dial features from your User Options web pages, as described in the table below. (See the “Logging In to the User Options Web Pages” section on page 40 for more information about your User Options pages.)

This ensures that businesses can engage in confidential conversations without the risk of interception.

The characteristics that make these models appealing include durability, ease of configuration, and reliability. Organizations can benefit from Cisco’s reliable support and regular updates, ensuring that their communication infrastructure remains robust and secure. With features designed for scalability, both phones can easily integrate into larger systems while maintaining high call quality.
