Speed Dial; Configure A Speed Dial On A Key Expansion Module - Cisco 8800 Series Administration Manual

Speed Dial

The maximum length of the string, including the Xs or commas (,), is limited to the length of a speed-dial
entry, dial screen entry, directory entry, and other dialed strings.
When a wait is initiated, the phone displays the home screen and prompts the user to input more digits with
the key pad. If this action occurs while the user is editing an entry, the edits might be lost.
If only the first part of a dial string matches a dial plan when the call is dialed, the portion of the dial string
that does not match the dial string is ignored. For example:
85377776666,,1,23
If 8537777 matches a dial plan, the characters 6666 are ignored. The phone waits 4 seconds before sending
DTMF 1. It then wait 2 seconds and sends DTMF 23.
When logging the call, the phone only logs the dial string; the DTMF strings are not logged.
Valid DTMF signals are 0-9, *, or #. All other characters are ignored.
Limitations
When the call is connected and immediately transferred, the phone might not be able to process the DTMF
signals. This depends on the length of time that the call is connected before it is transferred.
