Bt Inspiration System Speed Dial.

[maltoby]

Hi ,

Could anybody give me any advice how to set up speed dial numbers on my bt inspiration pbx that i have set up around my home ?.

If you dial a speed no. ie 7001 from a systemphone the call is connected straight away as you would expect, but if you dial say 7001 on a standard POTS TOUCHTONE phone there is a long delay before the system connects to the external call & quite often the called no. has answered before you can speak to them.

This does not happen if you dial a speed no. ( 7001 ) from a POTS loop disconnect telephone.

I would be very grateful of any advice as this is a frustrating problem.

many thanks.

I think this is a quirk of that particular PBX. IIRC the easiest way to overcome the problem was add a call routing device such as a Smart1 dialler to delay the digits being sent to line.

I'm sure Si will be along though before I've rooted through my notes.
