Dialing Phone Numbers

You can use the IR port to receive telephone numbers beamed from an IR enabled PC or pocket
organizer device. Any device that can beam contacts in the VCard format (.vcf) can be used.
If you are unsure of the file format used by your IR device, you can try beaming a contact anyway. The
display on the Avaya IP phone will display the name of the file it received. If that ends in .vcf then the
phone should dial the number in the VCard file.
You will need to remember the following:
•
The phone will only dial the first phone number in the VCard file.
• If your IP Office system has been setup to need a prefix for external dialing, that prefix must be in
the VCard phone number.
In addition to dialing the telephone number digits, the following additional characters can be included in
the phone number:
•
m = Mute.
• c = Conference.
• h = Hold.
•
t = Transfer.
• , (comma) = 2-second pause.
The following sections contains examples of dialing contacts by beaming from various different devices.
