Adding abbreviated dialing lists
Abbreviated dialing is sometimes called speed dialing. It allows you to dial a short 
code in place of an extension or phone number.
When you dial abbreviated-dialing codes or press abbreviated-dialing buttons, you 
access stored numbers from special lists. These lists can be personal (a list of 
numbers for an individual phone), group (a department-wide list), system (a 
system-wide list), or enhanced numbers (allows for a longer list of numbers). The 
version and type of your system determine which lists are available and how many 
entries you can have on each list.
NOTE:
You can designate all group-number lists, system-number lists, and 
enhanced-number lists as “privileged.” Calls automatically dialed from a 
privileged list are completed without class of restriction (COR) or facility  whisp-act Whisper

ActivationWhisper Page Activation: allows a user to 
make and receive whisper pages. A 
whisper page is an announcement sent to 
another extension who is active on a call 
where only the person on the extension 
hears the announcement; any other parties 
on the call cannot hear the announcement. 
The user must have a class of restriction 
(COR) that allows intraswitch calling to 
use whisper paging.
whisp-anbk Answerback Whisper Page Answerback: allows a user 
who received a whisper page to respond to 
the user who sent the page.

users from sending whisper pages to this 
phone.

restriction level (FRL) checking. This allows access to selected numbers that 
some phone users might otherwise be restricted from manually dialing. For 
example, a user may be restricted from making long-distance calls. 
However, you can program the number of a branch office that is long 
distance into an AD list as privileged. Then, the user can call this office 
location using AD, while still being restricted from making other 
long-distance calls.
!SECURITY ALERT:
Privileged group-number, system-number, and enhanced-number lists 
provide access to numbers that typically would be restricted.
Instructions
As an example, let’s program a new group list:
1. Type 
add abbreviated-dialing group next and press RETURN.
The Abbreviated Dialing List
 screen appears. In our example, the next 
available group list is group 3.
2. Enter a number (in multiples of 5) in the Size field. This number defines the 
number of entries on your dialing list.
For example, if you have 8 phone numbers you want to store in the list, 
type 
10 in the Size field.
3. If you want another user to be able to add numbers to this list, enter their 
extension in the Program Ext field.
For example, if you want the user at 4567 to be able to change group list 3, 
enter 
4567 in this field.
4. Enter the phone numbers you want to store, one for each dial code.
Each phone number can be up to 24 digits long.
5. Press 
ENTER to save your changes.

You can display your new abbreviated-dialing list to verify that the information is 
correct or print a copy of the list for your paper records.
Once you define a group list, you need to define which stations can use the list. 
For example, let’s set up station 4567 so it has access to the new group list.
To give station 4567 access to the group list:
1. Type 
change station 4567 and press RETURN.
The Station
 screen for extension 4567 appears.
2. Press 
NEXT PAGE to get to the Abbreviated Dialing List fields.
3. Type 
group in any of the List fields and press RETURN.
A blank list number field appears.
4. Type 
3 in the list number field.
When you assign a group or personal list, you must also specify the 
personal list number or group list number.
5. Press 
ENTER to save your changes.
The user at extension 4567 can now use this list by dialing the feature access code 
for the list and the dial code for the number they want to dial. Alternatively, you 
can assign an abbreviated dialing button to this station that allows the user press 
one button to dial a specific stored number on one of their three assigned 
abbreviated lists.

More information
There are limits to the total number of abbreviated dialing list entries, the number 
of personal dial lists, and the number of group dial lists that your system can store. 
Because of these limitations, you should avoid storing the same number in more 
than one list. Instead, assign commonly dialed numbers to the system list or to a 
group list. You can determine the abbreviated dialing storage capacity, by 
referring to the System Capacity screen for the abbreviated dialing values 
(
display capacity).

For more information, refer to ‘‘
Abbreviated Dialing’’ on page 1129. A user 
complains that 
using an 
abbreviated dial 
list dials the 
wrong number.
nThe user could be 
using the wrong dial 
code.
nThe dial code could be 
defined incorrectly.1. Ask the user what number they dialed 
or button they pressed to determine 
which list and dial code they 
attempted to call.
2. Access the dialing list and verify that 
the number stored for the specific 
dial code corresponds to the number 
the user wanted to dial. (For example 
to access a group list, type 
display 
abbreviated-dialing group 
x and 
press 
RETURN, where x is a group list 
number.)
3. If the user dialed the wrong code, 
give them the correct code.
4. If the dial code is wrong, press 
CANCEL and use the appropriate 
change command to re-access the 
abbreviated dialing list. Correct the 
number and press 
ENTER.

Setting up bridged call appearances
Think of a bridged call appearance as a phone (the primary set) with an extension 
(the bridged-to appearance). Both phones can be used to call in and out and both 
show when a line is in use. A call to the primary phone is bridged to a specific 
appearance, or button, on the secondary phone. The secondary phone retains all its 
functions, and a specific button is dedicated as the bridged-to appearance from the 
primary phone.
Bridged call appearances have to be assigned to phones with double-lamp buttons, 
or lights. The phone types do not need to match, but as much consistency as 
possible is recommended for all phones in a bridged group. When a call comes in 
on bridged phones, the buttons assigned to the bridged appearances flash. You can 
assign as many bridged appearances as there are line appearances on the primary 
phone, and you can assign ringing (alerting) to one or more of the phones.
Instructions
To create a bridged call appearance:
1. Note the extension of the primary phone.
A call to this phone lights the button and, if activated, rings at the 
bridged-to appearance on the secondary phone.
2. If you want to use a new phone for the bridged-to extension, duplicate a 
station.
For information refer to ‘‘
Using templates to add phones’’ on page 41.
3. Type 
change station and the bridged-to extension and press RETURN.
The Station
 screen appears.
