Global SIP Settings41-001160-04 Rev 02, Release 2.5 4-107Configuring Network and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) FeaturesAutodial SettingsThe IP phones include a feature called “Autodial”. When you configure Autodialon an IP phone, the phone automatically dials a preconfigured number wheneverit is off-hook. Depending on the configuration you specify, the Autodial functionsas either a “hotline”, or as a “warmline,” as follows:• Hotline (default): The IP phone immediately dials a preconfigured numberwhen you lift the handset.• Warmline: The IP phone waits for a specified amount of time after you liftthe handset before dialing a preconfigured number. If you do not dial anumber within the time allotted, then the IP phone begins to dial the number.By default, the Autodial feature functions as a hotline. If you want Autodial tofunction as a warmline, you can use the Autodial “time-out” parameter to specifythe length of time (in seconds) the IP phone waits before dialing a preconfigurednumber.As administrator, you configure Autodial globally, or on a per-line basis, for an IPphone. The line setting overrides the global setting. For example, you can disableAutodial on a specific line simply by setting the line’s autodial number parameterto empty (blank).Note: IMPORTANT INFORMATION before configuring Autodial onyour IP phone:• Any speeddial numbers that you configure on an IP phone are notaffected by autodial settings.• If you configure autodial on your IP phone, any lines that function ashotlines do not accept conference calls, transferred calls, and/orintercom calls.
