Setting Up Speed Dial Buttons

Speed dial features allow you to click a button or enter an index code to place a call.

You can set up speed dialing for your phone in two ways:

Speed dialing with a button--You can assign a speed dial number to any available programmable button on your IP Communicator that has not already been configured as a line, feature, or service button.
Speed dialing with an index code--Using the Abbreviated Dialing feature, you can enter an assigned index number (1 to 99) rather than dialing the entire phone number.

Set up both types of speed dial features from your User Options web pages, as described in the table below. (See the "Logging In to the User Options Web Pages" topic for more information about your User Options pages.)
