Hot Dial Pad
Description
The dial pad on digital key phones can be designated as “hot” on an
extension-by-extension basis.
The Hot Dial Pad allows the user to initiate a call without going offhook.
Extensions with the Hot Dial Pad enabled can initiate calls by pressing any of
the numeric keys (0-9). The “*” and “#” keys are not hot.
The Dial Pad can be hot under these conditions:
• When the extension is idle
• When the extension is holding a call
• When the extension is receiving a page.
The Dial Pad cannot be hot under these conditions:
• When a call is ringing at the extension (intercom or CO)
• When the extension is on a call.
