Speed Dial Key - Mitel 6867i User Manual

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 6867i 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
– Operation > Expansion Module Keys
• Using the IP phone UI at the path Options > Dialing > Speed Dial Edit
• By pressing and holding a softkey, dialpad key, or expansion module 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 automati-
cally 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 6867i IP phone.
