Creating a Speed Dial Key
The normal function of the speed dial option allows you to dial a number quickly by pressing a key
configured for speed dialing. You can program the keys on the 6730i to speed dial outside
numbers, dial directly to another person’s line or extension, or set up to quickly access features
such as Caller ID (*69), Voicemail.
The speed dial function can be set using the IP Phone UI or the Aastra Web UI.
You can create speed dial keys using any of the following methods:
• Using the Aastra Web UI at the paths:
— Operation->Programmable Keys
— Operation->Speed Dial Edit
• By pressing and holding a programmable key or keypad key.
• Using the IP Phone UI at the path:
— Options->Preferences->Speed Dial Edit
Speed Dial Prefix
The speed dial feature also allows you to specify a preset string of numbers followed by a “+” that
the phone dials automatically after pressing the speed dial key. You can use this feature for
numbers that contain long prefixes.
For example, if you had the following speed dial configuration in the Aastra Web UI:
Key 1
Type=speed dial
Label=Europe Office
Value=1234567+
Line=2
then, after you press key 1 on the phone, the prefix number displays on the phone screen. The
phone proceeds to dial the prefix number automatically and pauses for you to enter the remaining
phone number using the keypad on the phone.
You can save up to 7 speed dial numbers on the 6730i.
Use the following procedures to set speed dial on the 6730i IP phone.
Note: You can use a speed dial key while on an active call by placing the active
call on hold first, and then pressing the speed dial key.
