Speeddial Prefixes
The normal function of the speeddial option allows you to configure a specific
key on the phone to dial a number quickly by pressing the configured key. For
example, if you had the following speeddial configuration in the configuration
files:
softkey1 type: speeddial
softkey1 label: Office
softkey1 value: 5552345
softkey1 line: 1
after you press softkey1 on the phone, it dials the Office number at 555-2345 on
line 1.
A new feature for the speeddial option allows you to configure a preset string of
numbers followed by a “+”. This feature allows the phone to speeddial a prefix
number and then pause to let you enter the remaining phone number. You can use
this feature for numbers that contain long prefixes. For example, if you had the
following speeddial configuration in the configuration files:
softkey2 type: speeddial
softkey2 label: Europe Office
softkey2 value: 1234567+
softkey2 line: 2
after you press softkey2 on the phone, it dials the prefix number automatically and
pauses for you to enter the remaining number using the keypad on the phone.
You can configure the speeddial prefix using the configuration files or the Aastra
Web UI.
