Configuring speed dials
For fast and efficient dialing, use the speed dial pattern to map the phone numbers, mostly outbound numbers.
For information on setting speed dial number pattern, see Configuring PBX options.
To map speed dials
- Go to Phone System > Contact > Speed Dial Rule.
- Click New.
- Enter a name for the speed dial mapping.
- For Dialed Pattern, enter the number based on the speed dial number pattern you set. For example, 333.
- For Mapped Pattern, enter the phone number to map to the speed dial pattern.
You can enter digits 0–9, space, dash, comma, # and *.
Speed dial pattern accepts # as the lead digit ( Eg. #XX or #613XXX).
If you want to enter an auto attendant number followed by an extension, you can use comma (,) or semicolon (;) to pause the automatic dialing.
A comma pauses dialing for two seconds, for example, 1-123-222-1234, 5678#. In this case, once pressing the speed dial code you set, auto attendant 1-123-1234 is reached, and after two seconds, extension 5678 is automatically dialed.
A semicolon pauses dialing for one second, for example, 1-123-222-1234; 5678#. In this case, once pressing the speed dial code you set, auto attendant 1-123-1234 is reached, and after one second, extension 5678 is automatically dialed. - Optionally, enter a note for the mapping, such as “This is for customer A”.
