Configuring Automatic Dialing

The Automatic Dialing table lets you configure telephone numbers that are automatically dialed when analog ports go off-hook. The dialing can be done immediately upon off-hook or after a user-defined interval after off-hook, referred to as Hotline dialing. For example, you can configure Hotline automatic dialing where if Port #1 remains off-hooked for over 15 seconds, the device automatically dials 911.

The following procedure describes how to configure automatic dialing upon off-hook through the Web interface. You can also configure it through ini file [TargetOfChannel] or CLI (configure voip > gateway analog automatic-dialing).
