Configuring Abbreviations
The AastraLink Pro 160 allows you to define a list of abbreviated numbers to be
used as a shortcut when dialing from a phone connected to the AastraLink Pro.
These are numbers that are frequently used for system-wide shortcuts.
For each abbreviation that is configured, when the abbreviation is dialed from
IVR menu or IP phone, the AastraLink places the outgoing call using the full
specified number instead. This provides an effective system-wide speed dial or
shortcut dialling method, and allows for exceptions to other features such as
barred numbers to be provisioned.
The AastraLink automatically dedicates the prefix ’1’ for abbreviated numbers in
the dialing plan. The abbreviated number that you set must be two digits and is
limited to 100 numbers (00 to 99). This abbreviated number is a virtual extension,
which is entirely separate from the extension number of the users IP phone. For
more information about creating virtual extensions, see Chapter 3, the section,
used as a shortcut when dialing from a phone connected to the AastraLink Pro.
