Configuring Network and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Features
Autodial Settings
The IP phones include a feature called “Autodial”. When you configure Autodial 
on an IP phone, the phone automatically dials a preconfigured number whenever 
it is off-hook. Depending on the configuration you specify, the Autodial functions 
as either a “hotline”, or as a “warmline,” as follows:
•
Hotline (default): The IP phone immediately dials a preconfigured number 
when you lift the handset.
•
Warmline: The IP phone waits for a specified amount of time after you lift 
the handset before dialing a preconfigured number. If you do not dial a 
number 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 to 
function as a warmline, you can use the Autodial “time-out” parameter to specify 
the length of time (in seconds) the IP phone waits before dialing a preconfigured 
number.
As administrator, you configure Autodial globally, or on a per-line basis, for an IP 
phone. The line setting overrides the global setting. For example, you can disable 
Autodial on a specific line simply by setting the line’s autodial number parameter 
to empty (blank). 
Note:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION before configuring Autodial on
your IP phone:
•
Any speeddial numbers that you configure on an IP phone are not 
affected by autodial settings. 
•
If you configure autodial on your IP phone, any lines that function as 
hotlines do not accept conference calls, transferred calls, and/or 
intercom calls.
