Quick Start Guide: Cisco 7911 IP Telephone – 15

Appendix: Fast Dials and Speed Dials


In addition to all the standard features found within IP telephones, Cisco IP telephones allow customers to
have two separate lists of Fast Dials and Speed Dials—separate but related entities.

Fast Dials is a feature offered through the SERVICES button on all models of IP telephones. This is
composed of a list of contacts whose numbers you would like to store on your phone for easy reference.

By contrast, Speed Dials can be accessed simply by pressing a two-digit index code into the phone while
it is on-hook followed by pressing the AbbrDial soft key. Unlike Fast Dials, the phone does not display a
listing of Speed Dial index numbers, so you will need to know exactly who is associated with each index
number (it may be handy to compose a list and keep the list on or near the phone).

Note: Model 7911 phones have a separate “Speed Dials” feature accessed through the Directories

option in the Services menu (press the SERVICES button, scroll and select the Directories
option, then scroll down to the Speed Dials option). These speed dials are the first four speed
dial numbers programmed through the web interface (see below).


Fast Dials are useful for contacts whose numbers you need infrequently, but would like to be able to find
quickly, while Speed Dials are useful for contacts you call frequently and need at a moment’s notice (e.g.
the IT Solutions Center)

Fast Dials is a free subscription-only service available to all faculty and staff with an IP phone.

Adding in Fast Dials is essentially a four step process:

1. Subscribe to the service – unless you have already subscribed, you will not be able to make full

use of this functionality

2. Set up a personal address book – this step is not, strictly speaking, necessary, but it will make it

easier to use the Fast Dial feature.

3. Set up your Fast Dials – this is not the same as your Speed Dials!
4. Access your Fast Dials through your IP Phone – Use the SERVICES button
