Configuring Softkeys
7.3 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 6915 to speed dial outside numbers, dial
directly to another person’s line or extension, or quickly access features such as Caller ID (*69) and
voicemail.
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.
You can create Speed Dial keys using any of the following methods:
• Using the Mitel Web UI at the paths:
• Operation > Softkeys and XML.
• Using the IP phone UI at the path Options > Dialing > Speed Dial Edit.
• By pressing and holding a softkey or dialpad key.
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 Mitel 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 dialpad on the phone.
Use the following procedures to set speed dial on the 6915 IP phone.
Press-and-Hold to Create a Speed Dial (applicable to softkeys and dialpad keys)
