Speed dial and Asterisk Phonebook

Hi everyone,

I’ve got few questions related with these two features.

I need to have both running but from some reason it doesn’t work for me at all and I would like to understand the way it should work.

To enable speed dial I have to go to tools then Asterisk Phonebook, put an entry there, enable speed dial.

If I would like to use this speed dial I have to dial *001, don’t I ? After that voice in the phone says “There are no number assigned to this speed dial number” (or something like that). So what did I miss ?

The second thing. If I put entry in the Asterisk Phonebook like my mobile number and if I call myself on DDI shouldn’t the number be replaced on the screen by the entry from the phone book ? If not, is there any way to do that ?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Regards.

I have managed to do speed dial :). When short number is 001 then I should dial *0001 :). That was my mistake :).

However the question for the phone book is still actual. Is there any way to replace caller number to the entry from the phone book if exists ?

Thank you.

Regards.
