Importing Entries 

To import system-wide speed dial entries from a CSV file, perform the following steps:

  1. In the Import from CSV section of the page, click inside the File field or on the Browse button and locate the file to import
  2. Press the Upload button to import data stored in the CSV file

The CSV file must use the following format:
Name;Number;Speed dial code

Example CSV File
John Smith;2145559999;1
Jane Doe;2145551111;2
To use the system-wide speed dial feature, dial *0 + speed dial code and initiate a call.  For example, to use the speed dial 1, you'd have to dial *01.

 

Using Phonebook Entries as a Calling Party Name Lookup table

Note that you can enter the Name and Number with no with no Speed Dial Code and the option to automatically generate a code is unselected. When a incoming call arrives with only a Caller Party Number and no associated Calling Party Name, the UCX will attempt to find the incoming Number in the Phonebook and then use the corresponding Name as the Calling Party Name for the remainder of that call.

Dial-By-Name Directory

The dial-by-name feature also uses the Phonebook to associate name to number.

This feature can be enabled/disabled in the Feature Codes page, under the Phonebook Directory section.

The user dials *411, then follows the voice prompts to dial by name.
