Model 6757i CT IP Phone User Guide

 

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 CT 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.

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:

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 CT.

Use the following procedures to set speeddial on the 6757i CT 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.
