Introduction

 

This document covers the procedure for configuring Speed-dial and Abbreviated dial setup. This procedure is applicable to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 7.x / 8.x / 9.x

 

Configuring Speed-Dial Buttons or Abbreviated Dialing

 

You use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to configure speed-dial buttons for phones if you want to provide speed-dial buttons for users or if you are configuring phones that do not have a specific user who is assigned to them. Users use Cisco Unified CM User Options to change the speed-dial buttons on their phones.

 

 

From CUCM 8.x onwards, system provides a total of 199 speed-dial and abbreviated-dial settings.

 

Speed Dial Settings

Configure these settings for the physical buttons on the phone.

 

Abbreviated Dial Settings

Configure these settings for the speed-dial numbers that you access with abbreviated dialing. When the user configures up to 199 speed-dial entries, part of the speed-dial entries can get assigned to the speed-dial buttons on the IP phone; the remaining speed-dial entries get used for abbreviated dialing. When a user starts dialing digits, the AbbrDial softkey displays on the phone, and the user can access any speed-dial entry by entering the appropriate index (code) for abbreviated dialing.

 

Note: Not all Cisco Unified IP Phones support abbreviated dialing. See the phone user guide for information

Thanks for this info but if I have to do this task (configuring abbreviate dial num) on 50 phones, how do I do that? Obviously,  doing one phone at a time would be very painful!!! Thanks

Hello Gary

Thanks for your comments.  You can configure the phones in bulk by using BAT. Please check the url for more details.

Hi Muthurani,

I know it's an old blog, have a quick question if you still are around. So, I have around 20 abbreviated speed Dial configured for a user, but somehow she isn't able to see few of them. Any idea as to why?

 

Thanks in advance

Stanzin
