Dial by Name

User Feature

Description

(See also the description for DIAL BY NAME)

Definition

The dial by name feature allows a user to initiate a call by entering the other party's name, or just the beginning of it, via a standard keypad with letter designations and soft-keys. The feature provides a directory of names with their associated phone numbers. Numbers in the directory can be internal or external. The dial by name feature is only available for the digital phones with a standard keypad with letter designations and soft-keys. The same feature is normally available in the form of contact lists in intelligent telephones.

Settings

The names are set by the administrator.

Procedure and function

The digital phone user interface allows searching in the name list by use of the keypad and soft-keys. Two of the soft-keys are used to scroll up or down in the list and one soft-key is used to execute the call when the requested name is found.
