Speeddial/Conference Key
The IP Phones allow you to configure a softkey/programmable key/expansion module key to be used as a Speeddial
Conference key (Speeddial/Conf key) while remaining in the current call. This key allows a user on a call, to conference
another party at a pre-defined number while remaining in the conference call.
For example, while on an active call, a user can use the Speeddial/Conf key to dial a recording service and have the result-
ing conference recorded.
How it Works
If you configure a softkey/programmable key/expansion module as a Speeddial/Conf key, and you press this key while
on an active call, the focused line changes to the dialing line. A Cancel softkey displays on the 6867i/6869i IP phones,
allowing you to abort the conference speeddial if required. The message "Ringing..." displays below the number when
the far end is ringing. The message "Conf. Unavailable" briefly displays when a conference is already in progress. The
active call is not put on hold when the speeddial number is dialed. This feature is not compatible with centralized confer-
encing.
The softkey/programmable key is called "Speeddial/Conf" in the Web UI drop down list. In the configuration file, use
"speeddialconf" as the softkey type.
Configuring the Speeddial/Conf Key Using the Configuration Files
To configure the Speeddial/Conf key using the configuration files, you enter “speeddialconf” for the key type. The fol-
lowing parameters are examples you can use to configure the Speeddial/Conf key:
softkey1 type: speeddialconf
softkey1 label: Sales
softkey1 value: 5645
softkey1 line: 3
6. Select the state(s) (idle, connected, incoming, outgoing, busy) for which you want to use on the key.
Note:
States are not applicable to programmable keys.
7. Click Save Settings to save your changes.
Note:
If currently in a conference, the Speeddial/Conf key is disabled on the active call.
