Introduction
Overview
When making calls from an access control device, long IP addresses or SIP accounts are difficult to remember. Speed dial substitution allows you to use a short code instead of the full IP address or account. This document details how to configure the speed dial substitution function on access control devices.
Applicable Models
Bi20S, Bi30, Bi23S, Bi31S, Bi33V, Bi33VF.
Prerequisite Preparation Tools
① One industrial device (Bi20S is used as an example), one PoE switch (or DC power supply). Connect the device to the switch.
② One debugging computer connected to the same switch to ensure network connectivity between the computer and the device.
Device and Computer Connection Diagram
Connect the i20S to the switch, and connect the computer to the same switch to ensure network communication. The connection diagram is shown in Figure 1.

Speed Dial Substitution Function
There are two methods to configure speed dial substitution on access control devices: Dial Peer Rules and Access Control Rules. The detailed steps for both methods are provided below.
Method 1: Dial Peer Rules
The Dial Peer method requires configuration on the device's Web interface. The detailed steps are as follows:
(1) Log in to the Web interface: Enter the device's IP address in a browser, and log in with the username and password (default: admin).
(2) Navigate to Account --- Dial Peer --- Add Dial Peer, and configure as shown in Figure 2:
① Number: Custom short code used for dialing;
② Destination: Target address to call (IP address or SIP account; SIP account requires registration). IP address is used as an example here;

(3) Navigate to Access Control Settings --- Function Settings, and configure as shown in Figure 3:
Under General Settings:
① Set Key Mode to "Dial & Password Input": Keys can be used for dialing and password entry;
② Set Default Input Mode to "Password": Default input is for password verification;
Under Programmable Key Settings:
Set standby state of Key * to Input Mode Switch, and Dial to Call Number;

(4) Navigate to Access Control Settings --- Function Settings --- Basic Settings, and uncheck Fixed Length Dial, as shown in Figure 4;

(5) After completing the above configuration, enter *custom_short_code* on the keypad to call immediately, or enter *custom_short_code and wait 3 seconds for automatic dialing. In this example, enter *123* or *123 to place a call.
Method 2: Access Control Rules
(1) Log in to the device: Enter the device's IP address in a browser, and log in with the username and password (default: admin).
(2) Navigate to Access Control Management -- Add Access Control Rule, and configure as shown in Figure 5:
① Name: Custom name;
② Location Speed Dial: Custom short code for calling;
③ Owner Number: Target address (SIP account or IP address; SIP account is used as an example here);

(3) Since SIP account calling is used in this example, you must register the SIP account. Navigate to Account -- SIP -- Registration Settings to register the account, as shown in Figure 6.

(4) Repeat steps 3 and 4 from Section 2.1. After configuration, enter *custom_short_code* to call immediately, or enter *custom_short_code and wait 3 seconds for automatic dialing. In this example, enter *1234* or *1234 to place a call.
