Step-by-Step: Configure Speed Dial on Akuvox Door Intercoms
Setting up a speed dial allows users to quickly call a designated indoor monitor or unit at the press of a button. This is especially useful in single-dwelling setups where only one destination needs to be contacted. Follow the steps below to configure this feature through the device’s web interface.
Step 1: Access the Web Interface
- Use the Akuvox IP Scanner to find the device on the local network.
- Open a web browser and enter the device’s IP address.
-
Log in using your credentials:
- Default username: admin
- Default password: admin
(If these have been changed, use the updated login details.)
Step 2: Navigate to Key & Display Settings
- From the main menu, go to Settings > Key & Display.
- On some models, such as the E18 or E16, this may appear under Device > LCD.
- You’ll now see the available physical or touchscreen button options for configuration.
Step 3: Reassign the Speed Dial Button
- Find the “Speed Dial” option – one of the default buttons alongside Call PIN and Call.
- Change the function from “Speed Dial” to “Call.”
- Use the dropdown menu to select the correct Cloud Name associated with your site (e.g. Example House).
- Click Submit to apply your changes.
Step 4: Test the Configuration
- Once saved, the device will display an updated button layout with a single tap call function. Pressing the button should now initiate a direct call to the assigned indoor monitor or user.
This setup helps simplify operation for smaller installations, offering a streamlined experience tailored to single-user or single-family use cases.
