Speeddial Key with Initiate Call Functionality (Assistants Only)
Speeddial keys can be configured to efficiently utilize the Executive-Assistant Initiate Call function. With a Speeddial key
configured for this feature, Assistants can initiate a call on behalf of an Executive, whereby the call will appear to the target
as one originated by the Executive himself/herself. The Speeddial key's value can be defined using the following syntax:
• Executive-Assistant Initiate Call FAC (e.g. #64):
– In such scenarios, the call manager will play an audible prompt asking you to enter the Executive's Address and Des-
tination Address manually using the keypad.
• Executive-Assistant Initiate Call FAC followed by the Executive's Address (e.g. #644052):
– In such scenarios, only the Destination Address will need to be manually entered using the keypad.
• Executive-Assistant Initiate Call FAC, followed by the Executive's Address, an asterisk, and then the Destination Address
(e.g. #644052*4059):
– In such scenarios, addresses will not need to be manually entered and the phone will automatically initiate the call to
the target phone on behalf of the Executive.
Note:
• Contact your System Administrator if you require assistance with regards to configuring the Speeddial key with the
Iniitiate Call functionality.
• The Speeddial key type can be utilized for additional functions related to the Executive and Assistant Services fea-
ture that rely on FAC calls (i.e. opting in to an Executive's filtered call pool, opting out of an Executive's filtered call
pool, etc...). Contact your System Administrator for further details.
