Ipitomy Contact Dialer

To set up the IPitomy Dialer you must first be on the latest (5.0.7-X) PBX software.

Dialer requires .NET Framework 4.0 or greater. Windows 7 or newer Microsoft OS. You also need to be licensed for the applications use. This license may be obtained from Ipitomy Sales if you do not already have it. Until this license is applied to the PBX you will not have the ability to create the Feature Key.

Note If you are having issues launching the Contact Dialer and have verified your information is correct, ensure the Time on your PC is accurate. If the time is off from that of the PBX it will give a 408 Timeout error. You also may need to ensure that the Daylight Savings Time box is checked in Windows or you may also get the 408 Timeout error.

The application can be downloaded from:

Many users of business phone systems call a wide variety of phone numbers. They can be from a printed sheet, a contact program or from Microsoft Outlook. When there are many calls to make and each number has to be dialed into a phone, the process becomes tedious. To ease the process of dialing each number, IPitomy has created the IPitomy Dialer. The

2) Import Contacts from a .csv (comma separated values) file. Once the contacts have been imported, simply click on a contact to dial their number. Your phone will go off hook and the call will be put through without the need to enter any digits.


3) Dialing System speed dial numbers. The PBX will automatically import any system speed dial numbers. Once the contacts have been imported, simply click on a contact to dial their number. Your phone will go off hook and the call will be put through without the need to enter any digits.
