Speed Dial - Cisco 8851 Administration Manual

• DTMF_string—is the DTMF signals that a user sends to a remote device after the call is connected. The
Example:
18887225555,,5552X2222
A speed dial entry triggers the phone to dial 18887225555. The space indicates the end of the dial string.
The phone waits 4 seconds (2 commas), and then sends the DTMF signals 5552.
A message is displayed, prompting the user to manually enter digits. When the user finishes dialing the digits,
the user presses OK to confirm the manual input is complete. The phone sends the DTMF signals 2222.
Usage Guidelines A user can transmit digits any time, as long as the call is connected.
The maximum length of the string, including the Xs or commas (,), is limited to the length of a speed-dial
entry, dial screen entry, directory entry, and other dialed strings.
When a wait is initiated, the phone displays the home screen and prompts the user to input more digits with
the key pad. If this action occurs while the user is editing an entry, the edits might be lost.
If only the first part of a dial string matches a dial plan when the call is dialed, the portion of the dial string
that does not match the dial string is ignored. For example:
85377776666,,1,23
If 8537777 matches a dial plan, the characters 6666 are ignored. The phone waits 4 seconds before sending
DTMF 1. It then wait 2 seconds and sends DTMF 23.
When logging the call, the phone only logs the dial string; the DTMF strings are not logged.
Valid DTMF signals are 0-9, *, or #. All other characters are ignored.
Limitations
When the call is connected and immediately transferred, the phone might not be able to process the DTMF
signals. This depends on the length of time that the call is connected before it is transferred.
