System Speed Dial Numbers
Description
This feature lets you program a list of up to 60 frequently dialed numbers for the
system. Anyone on the system can then dial a System Speed Dial number by
pressing [
Feature ] (or [ # ] at intercom dial tone on a standard phone) and the
two-digit code from 20 through 79. You can mark System Speed Dial numbers
to override dialing restrictions.
Related Features
Speed Dialing, which lets users dial a number by pressing three buttons, is
different from Auto Dialing, which lets users dial a number by pressing a
single button.
For instructions on entering special characters (such as Pause) in a number,
see Special Dialing Functions.
Individuals can have up to 20 additional PersonaI Speed Dial Numbers for
use on their own phones.
You can store account codes as System Speed Dial numbers for use with
the Account Code Entry feature.
Considerations
To program System Speed Dial numbers that override dialing restrictions,
mark them by entering a star [
] before the phone number.
System Speed Dial numbers cannot be programmed onto Auto Dial buttons.
System Speed Dial numbers can be programmed only from extension 10 or
11, but can be used from any extension.
Refer to a completed System Speed Dial form for the list of numbers to be
programmed. After programming the numbers, distribute a copy of the
completed form to users. See Appendix D for a blank form.
If the system is connected to a PBX or Centrex system and a dial-out code
(usually 9) is needed to place calls outside the PBX or Centrex system,
include the dial-out code in Speed Dial numbers that must dial out of the
PBX or Centrex system.
If you program 911 or other emergency numbers as Speed Dial numbers
and want to place test calls, you should: 1) perform such activities in the
off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening and 2) remain on the
line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before
hanging up.
You can use multiple Auto Dial buttons and Speed Dial numbers during the
course of a single call. For example, you can use an Auto Dial button or
Speed Dial number to dial the Account Code Entry feature code, and
another Speed Dial number to dial the account code.
