# NP RapidDial - Description

Note: NP RapidDial must be configured using the Text console.

NP RapidDial is an optional feature that allows users to enter an abbreviated phone number to address mailboxes on a NuPoint Unified Messaging system.

NP RapidDial uses a table to map a subscriber group of abbreviated mailbox numbers to the complete mailbox numbers on the NuPoint Unified Messaging system. For example, mailbox numbers in a Subscriber Group might be seven digits long, but NP RapidDial allows you to use only part of each mailbox number to make and send a message or create a distribution list. Members of a Subscriber Group must use a complete phone number to address messages to mailboxes outside of their Subscriber Group.

To install NP RapidDial, follow the instructions for Installing an Optional Feature.
