Creating a 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 6731i to speed dial outside numbers, dial directly to another person's line or
extension, or set up to quickly access features such as Caller ID (*69), Voicemail.
The speed dial function can be set using the IP Phone UI or the Aastra Web UI.
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 Aastra Web UI at the paths:
– Operation->Programmable Keys
– Operation->Speed Dial Edit
• By pressing and holding a programmable key or keypad key.
• Using the IP Phone UI at the path:
– Options->Preferences->Speed Dial Edit
Speed Dial Prefix
The speed dial feature also allows you to specify a preset string of numbers followed by a "+" that the phone dials auto-
matically 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 Aastra Web UI:
Key 1
Type=speed dial
Label=Europe Office
