If you assign a speed dial index number that is already taken, the
message “Speed dial index already exists” displays.
Contacts with a speed dial index number can be automatically
assigned to a Speed Dial Key for one-touch dialing. For more
information, see “Managing Speed Dials” on page 76.
— (Optional.) Tap the Label field, and then enter a label for the contact.
You can enter a maximum of 32 symbols, letters, or numbers.
If you specify a label, the label will be the first item that displays for
the contact in the Contact Directory and on the Speed Dial
Information screen (before the contact’s first and last names, if
specified). The label will also display on the contact’s Speed Dial Key.
In the following figure, the label “Manager” has been assigned to
Lauren Gates. As a result, Lauren Gates’ Speed Dial Key displays
“Manager” instead of “Lauren Gates.”
— (Optional. This field only displays if your phone supports the H.323
protocol.) Tap the Protocol Type field, and then tap the field’s
highlighted grey box. From the drop-down list, tap SIP, H.323, or
Unspecified. (The default setting is Unspecified.)
If you select SIP, the phone will attempt to use the SIP protocol to
place calls to this contact. “SIP” will display next to the contact on the
Directory screen and Speed Dial Information screens.
If you select H.323, the phone will attempt to use the H.323 protocol
to place calls to this contact. “H323” will display next to the contact
on the Directory screen and Speed Dial Information screens.
If you select Unspecified, the phone will automatically choose the
protocol to use to place calls to this contact.
