On your phone, you see the caller ID for the calls that you receive. For lines that you monitor, you do not see

caller ID.

You can use this feature with speed dial or call pickup for even greater flexibility. But you may see different

icons displayed on your phone based on your combination of features. The following table shows the various

busy lamp field icons based on each feature combination.

Configuration Utility Page

You can customize some phone settings with the Configuration Utility page, which you access from your

computer. Your administrator gives you the page URL, your user ID, and password.

In the Configuration Utility page, you can control features, line settings, and phone services for your phone.

•Phone features include speed dial, do not disturb, and your personal address book.

•Line settings affect a specific phone line (directory number) on your phone. Line settings can include

call forwarding, visual and audio message indicators, ring patterns, and other line-specific settings.

If you have a Cisco IP Phone 8800 Key Expansion Module connected to your phone, you can also configure

the expansion module buttons for speed dial and other phone services.

The following table describes some specific features that you configure using the Configuration Utility page.

DescriptionFeatures

You specify the number that will receive calls when call forward is enabled on the

phone. Use the Configuration Utility page to set up more complicated call forward

functions, for example, when your line is busy.

Speed-Dial Numbers

When you dial a number on your phone, you enter a series of digits. When you set up a speed-dial number,

the speed-dial number must contain all the digits you need to make the call. For example, if you need to dial

9 to get an outside line, you enter the number 9 and then the number you want to dial.

You can also add other dialed digits to the number. Examples of additional digits include a meeting access

code, an extension, a voicemail password, an authorization code, and a billing code.

The dial string can contain the following characters:

•0 to 9

•pound (#)

•asterisk (*)

•comma (,)—This is the pause character, and gives a 2- second delay in the dialing. You can have several

commas in a row. For example, two commas (,,) represent a pause of 4 seconds.

The rules for dial strings are:

•Use the comma to separate the parts of the dial string.

•An authorization code must always precede a billing code in the speed-dial string.

•One comma is required between the authorization code and the billing code in the string.

•A speed-dial label is required for speed dials with authorization codes and additional digits.

Before you configure the speed dial, try to dial the digits manually at least once to ensure that the digit sequence

is correct.

Your phone does not save the authorization code, billing code, or extra digits from the speed dial in the

call history. If you press Redial after connecting to a destination using speed dial, the phone prompts you

to enter any required authorization code, billing code, or additional digits manually.

Speed-Dial Numbers

Example

To set up a speed-dial number to call a person at a specific extension, and if you need an authorization code

and billing code, consider the following requirements:

•You need to dial 9 for an outside line.

•You want to call 5556543.

•You need to input the authorization code 1234.

•You need to input the billing code 9876.

•You must wait for 4 seconds.

•After the call is connected, you must dial the extension 56789#.

In this scenario, the speed-dial number is 95556543,1234,9876,,56789#.
