Speeddial Key
The normal function of the speeddial option allows you to dial a number quickly by pressing a
key configured for speeddialing. You can program the keys on the 6757i to speeddial 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 speeddial function can be set using the IP Phone UI or the Aastra Web UI.
You can create speeddial keys using any of the following methods:
• Using the Aastra Web UI at the paths:
- Operation->Softkeys and XML
- Operation->Expansion Module Keys
• Using the IP Phone UI at the path, Options->Preferences->Speed Dial Edit
• By pressing and holding a softkey, keypad key, or expansion module key.
Speeddial Prefix
The speeddial feature also allows you to specify a preset string of numbers followed by a “+”
that the phone dials automatically after pressing the speeddial key. You can use this feature for
numbers that contain long prefixes.
For example, if you had the following speeddial configuration in the Aastra Web UI:
Key 1
Type=speeddial
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 keypad on the phone.
You can save up to 30 speeddial numbers on the 6757i.
Use the following procedures to set speeddial on the 6757i IP phone.
Note: You can use a speeddial key while on an active call by placing the active call
on hold first, and then pressing the speeddial key.
