Off Hook Hot Line Dialing
For security reasons, IP phones support off hook hot line dialing feature, which allows the phone
to first dial out the pre-configured number when the user lifts the handset, presses the
Speakerphone key or taps desired line key, dials out a call using the account with this feature
enabled. The SIP server may then prompt the user to enter an activation code for call service.
Only if the user enters a valid activation code, the IP phone will use this account to dial out a call
successfully.
Off hook hot line dialing feature is configurable on a per-line basis and depends on support
from a SIP server.

Off hook hot line dialing feature limits the call-out permission of this account and disables the

enabled, the configured hotline number will not be dialed out automatically.
