How to enable manual speed dial for CME SCCP and SIP phones

[shyam2014]

Hi Guys,

I have a CME router configured and both sccp and sip phones are functional. Currently I am programming speed dials on each ephone and voice register pool manually. Is there a way so user can themselves configure that on the phone itself?

What are the commands should be used in telephony service and ephone, voice register to have that enable?

Phone User-Interface for Speed Dial and Fast Dial

In Cisco Unified CME 4.3 and later versions, IP phone users can configure their own speed-dial and fast-dial settings directly from the phone. The speed-dial and fast-dial settings can be added or modified on the phone by using a menu available with the Services feature button. Extension Mobility users can add or modify speed-dial settings in their user profile after logging in. Fast-dial settings are not configurable from Extension Mobility phones, nor is the logout profile configurable from the phone.

Previously, the speed-dial and fast-dial configuration for a phone could only be done in Cisco Unified CME or by using the web-based GUI. This feature gives phone users the convenience of configuring their speed-dial and fast-dial settings from their phones directly.

The speed-dial and fast-dial user interface is enabled by default on all phones with displays. You can disable the capability for an individual phone in Cisco Unified CME to prevent a phone user from accessing the interface. If a phone's speed-dial or fast-dial setting is configured with an ephone-template, the configuration from the phone applies only to the specific phone and does not change the ephone-template configuration.

For configuration information, see the “User Interface for Speed-Dial and Fast-Dial” section.

For information on how phone users configure speed-dial and fast-dial buttons using the phone user-interface, see the Cisco Unified IP Phone documentation for Cisco Unified CME.

Hi Shaym,

For users to add speed-dial manually it's possible through phone settings->My Phone Apps and and scroll down to Personal speed dial where each user can add his own speed-dials

You can enable speed-dial globally by adding a speed-dial file in xml format to your router flash.File content will be like below and you can access these speed-dials from Directories > Local Speed Dial menu on IP phones. 

<CiscoIPPhoneDirectory>
<Title>Local Speed Dial</Title>
<Prompt>Record 1 to 1 of 1 </Prompt>
<DirectoryEntry>
<Name>Steve</Name>
<Telephone>1111</Telephone>
</DirectoryEntry>
<DirectoryEntry>
<Name>Jim</Name>
<Telephone>1112</Telephone>
</DirectoryEntry>
