Abbreviated dialing is sometimes called speed dialing. You can use it to dial a short code in place of an extension or telephone number. When you dial abbreviated-dialing codes or press abbreviated-dialing buttons, you access stored numbers from special lists. These lists can be personal (a list of numbers for an individual telephone), group (a department-wide list), system (a system-wide list), or enhanced numbers (allows for a longer list of numbers). The version and type of your system determine which lists are available and how many entries you can have on each list.
Note:
You can designate all group-number lists, system-number lists, and enhanced-number lists as "privileged." Calls automatically dialed from a privileged list are completed without class of restriction (COR) or facility restriction level (FRL) checking. With this, you get access to selected numbers that some telephone users might otherwise be restricted from manually dialing. For example, a user might be restricted from making long-distance calls. However, you can program the number of a branch office that is long distance into an AD list as privileged. Then, the user can call this office location using AD, while still being restricted from making other long-distance calls.
Security alert:
Privileged group-number, system-number, and enhanced-number lists provide access to numbers that typically would be restricted.
