Use Auto Dial buttons for one-touch dialing of frequently called telephone numbers. All users except Queued Call Console (QCC) operators and single-line sets can program Auto Dial buttons on their phones.

Auto Dial buttons need to be programmed on a line button, which would be a button with a light next to it.

Two types of Auto Dial buttons can be programmed:

• Inside Auto Dial. This button automatically dials any extension or group extension in the system such as a coworker, calling group, fax machine, or voice mail system. An operator can also program inside Auto Dial buttons for park zone extension numbers.

  When an inside Auto Dial button is programmed, the user can see the status of the extension associated with the button. The green LED next to the button is on when a person at the extension is on a call, when Do Not Disturb is on, or when the extension is forced idle for centralized telephone programming or system programming.

• Outside Auto Dial. This button automatically dials frequently called telephone numbers, as well as account codes, long distance company access codes, bank access codes, or emergency contact numbers.

Auto Dial is available on all releases.

Programming Codes:
Inside *22 + extension number
Outside *21 + telephone number followed by a pound sign (#)

Maximums: 28 characters, including special characters.
