Speed Dial
Speed Dial allows you to press a button and enter a preset code to place a call. Before you can use Speed Dial
features on your phone, you must set up speed-dial on your User Options web pages.
Depending on setup, your phone can support these Speed Dial features:
•
Speed-dial buttons: Allow you to quickly dial a phone number from one or more line buttons set up for
speed dialing.
If your system administrator has set up the Line Status feature, you can monitor the status of a speed-dial
line by using the line status indicators.
•
Speed-dial codes: Allow you to dial a phone number from a code (sometimes referred to as abbreviated
dialing).
You can use also use Speed Dial to reach telephone numbers that require a Forced Authorization Code (FAC),
Client Matter Code (CMC), or additional digits (such as a user extension, a meeting access code, or a voicemail
password). These numbers usually require you to input pause characters in the digit string.
