Dial By Name
What’s this?
The VMS Auto Attendant allows external callers and extension users to reach the desired person in an organization 
by dialing the name of that person. This feature useful when caller/extension user cannot recall the extension 
number of the person they want to speak to. 
How to configure
For this feature to work, each extension user’s name must be abbreviated and configured on the extension. It is 
recommended that the extension users’ names be abbreviated to the first three letters of the name. As far as 
possible, abbreviate names such that no two names are the same. 
You must configure the Abbreviated Name in the Voice Mail Auto Attendant settings of the SLT, DKP, and SIP 
extensions. 
• To configure Abbreviated Name for SLT extensions, see “Voice Mail Auto Attendant” under “SLT 
Extensions” for instructions. 
• To configure Abbreviated Name for DKP extensions, see “Voice Mail Auto Attendant” under “DKP 
Extensions” for instructions.
• To configure Abbreviated Name for SIP extensions, see “Voice Mail Auto Attendant” under “SIP 
Extensions” for instructions.
