Configuring a speed dial list

With the Elastix UCS, we can have a centralized list of numbers that can be accessed by the users. Each number of this list has a special code in order to dial it quicker than by dialing the number itself.

How to do it…

  1. To configure the speed dial list, click on the PBX | PBX Configuration | Unembedded FreePBX menu.
  2. In the FreePBX configuration WebGUI, go to the Tools | Asterisk Phonebook menu.
  3. Add a speed dial number by using the following information in the Add or Replace Entry section:
    • Name: Name of the speed dial
    • Number: Destination external number
    • Speed dial code: A number to associate this code to the external number to dial
    • Set Speed Dial?: This option must be checked
