IP Phone Administrator Guide
Configuring the IP Phones
Autodial Settings
The IP phones include a feature called “Autodial”. When you configure Autodial
on an IP phone, the phone automatically dials a preconfigured number whenever
it is off-hook. Depending on the configuration you specify, the Autodial functions
as either a “hotline”, or as a “warmline,” as follows:
• Hotline (default): The IP phone immediately dials a preconfigured number
when you lift the handset.
• Warmline: The IP phone waits for a specified amount of time after you lift
the handset before dialing a preconfigured number. If you do not dial a
number within the time allotted, then the IP phone begins to dial the number.
By default, the Autodial feature functions as a hotline. If you want Autodial to
function as a warmline, you can use the Autodial “time-out” parameter to specify
the length of time (in seconds) the IP phone waits before dialing a preconfigured
number.
As administrator, you configure Autodial globally, or on a per-line basis, for an IP
phone. The line setting overrides the global setting. For example, you can disable
Autodial on a specific line simply by setting the line’s autodial number parameter
to empty (blank).
Note: IMPORTANT INFORMATION before configuring Autodial on
your IP phone:
• Any speeddial numbers that you configure on an IP phone are not
affected by autodial settings.
• If you configure autodial on your IP phone, any lines that function as
hotlines do not accept conference calls, transferred calls, and/or
intercom calls.
