Adding Abbreviated Dialing Lists

Abbreviated dialing is sometimes called speed dialing. It allows you to dial a short code in place
of an extension or telephone number.
When you dial abbreviated-dialing codes or press abbreviated-dialing buttons, you access
stored numbers from special lists. These lists can be personal (a list of numbers for an
individual telephone), group (a department-wide list), system (a system-wide list), or enhanced
numbers (allows for a longer list of numbers). The version and type of your system determine
which lists are available and how many entries you can have on each list.
Note:
You can designate all group-number lists, system-number lists, and
Note:
enhanced-number lists as "privileged." Calls automatically dialed from a
privileged list are completed without class of restriction (COR) or facility
restriction level (FRL) checking. This allows access to selected numbers that
some telephone users might otherwise be restricted from manually dialing. For
example, a user may be restricted from making long-distance calls. However, you
can program the number of a branch office that is long distance into an AD list as
privileged. Then, the user can call this office location using AD, while still being
restricted from making other long-distance calls.
