Speed Dial Softkey
A speed dial key allows you to output a number quickly by pressing a key configured for speed dialing. You can program a
softkey on the 6739i to speed dial outside numbers, dial directly to another person’s line or extension, or to quickly access
features such as Caller ID (*69) and Voicemail.
You can create speed dial keys using any of the following methods:
• IP Phone UI at the path:
– Options->Softkeys
– Services->Speed Dial
– Press-and-hold a softkey/expansion module key
• Aastra Web UI at the paths:
– Operation->Softkeys and XML or Expansion Module Keys to create a softkey
You can save up to 30 speed dial numbers on the 6739i.
Speed Dial Prefix
The speed dial feature also allows you to specify a preset string of numbers followed by a “+” that the phone pre-dials
automatically. After pressing the speed dial key, the phone automatically dials the prefix and then waits for further digits
to be input by the user. You can use this feature for frequently dialed numbers that start with the same set of digits or long
international numbers, which contain long prefixes.
For example, if you had the following speed dial configuration:
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 out-
put the prefix number automatically and then pauses for you to enter the remaining phone number using the keypad
on the phone.
You can use the IP Phone UI or the Aastra Web UI to create speed dial softkeys on your phone.
