Description

This service lets you create short numbers linked to specific contacts (from either the shared or the personal phonebook).

To quickly call a number, you have to dial the service code (by default # for system speed dial and #0 for personal speed dial) followed by a previously configured code. KalliopePBX will then contact the number associated to the code. For external numbers, it will also add the prefix for outbound calls (specified in the PBX -> General settings page).

Configuration

The service can be enabled/disabled in the PBX -> On-call services page.

The service code can be changed in the PBX -> On-call services page.

Speed dial can be configured by editing the contact profile in the shared phonebook (for system speed dial) or in the personal phonebook.

Speed dial codes can be assigned only to numbers from the local shared contacts, not from remote contacts.

Interoperability

You can also use the Speed Dial function keys provided by your phone. In this case, unlike with speed dials handled through KalliopePBX, the speed dial value will have to include the outbound call prefix (specified in the PBX -> General settings page).
