Configuring Network and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Features
Autodial Settings
The IP phones include a feature called “Autodial”. When you configure Autodial 
on an IP phone, the phone automatically dials a preconfigured number whenever 
it is off-hook. Depending on the configuration you specify, the Autodial functions 
as either a “hotline”, or as a “warmline,” as follows:
Hotline (default): The IP phone immediately dials a preconfigured number 
when you lift the handset.
Warmline: The IP phone waits for a specified amount of time after you lift 
the handset before dialing a preconfigured number. If you do not dial a 
number within the time allotted, then the IP phone begins to dial the number. 
By default, the Autodial feature functions as a hotline. If you want Autodial to 
function as a warmline, you can use the Autodial “time-out” parameter to specify 
the length of time (in seconds) the IP phone waits before dialing a preconfigured 
number.
As administrator, you configure Autodial globally, or on a per-line basis, for an IP 
phone. The line setting overrides the global setting. For example, you can disable 
Autodial on a specific line simply by setting the line’s autodial number parameter 
to empty (blank). 
Note: 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION before configuring Autodial on 
your IP phone:
Any speeddial numbers that you configure on an IP phone are not 
affected by autodial settings. 
If you configure autodial on your IP phone, any lines that function as 
hotlines do not accept conference calls, transferred calls, and/or 
intercom calls.
