depends on user rights. This means, that not every subscriber in a DECT system
can use these features automatically. Ask your system administrator which particular features are enabled for your DECT handset. Sending text messages to a

applications available on the communications system. Sending text messages to
an e-Mail gateway is possible without additional applications.

Introduction
Message Types
Messages can be managed by an integrated data processing of your communications system or by an external application (server). In the following, all possible
message types are described. It depends on the application which message types
are available.
Messages which are sent by the handset are distinguished in normal and urgent
ones and furthermore in text messages and jobs. Text messages require no or a
simple confirmation to the sender. Jobs are messages containing tasks. They have
to be confirmed as “read”, “accepted” and – in case of urgent jobs – as “done”.
In addition, an application can send information messages (e.g. news ticker), alarm
messages, and messages to locate a person.

The functions described in this section can only be applied if the system version
offers them, these functions have been activated and/or the relevant licences for
using them have been purchased. Please contact your system administrator for
information on the range of functions available on your device.
Locating Alert
Emergency calls can be sent from your handset to a specific other telephone and
in parallel the alarm server will be informed to generate the alarm handling. On
the Aastra 610d and Aastra 620d this is done via a programmed key (SOS) and on
the Aastra 630d via the SOS key resp. the integrated alarm sensor (mandown, no
movement alarm, escape alarm). For more information please refer to the “Aastra
610d, 620d, 630d” user guide.
If the locating server is used and the system detects an emergency call, a locating
alert can be initiated so that helpers can fast locate the distressed person.
The locating alert is indicated by signalisation tones in the earpiece, followed by
beeps with increasing volume via the loudspeaker.
Locating Menu
Your communications system can be equipped with a locating system. Using this
function, the base station to which the handset is or was connected can be identified. The system evaluates this information for fast locating and providing help.
The locating information can also be queried from individual handsets. This
function must be activated by the system administrator.

Personal directory Entries as vCards
Directory entries in the personal directory can be sent as so-called vCards between
the Aastra 600d handsets or by a system server. These vCards are structured to
match the existing entries on the phones and can contain the following data:
Name, Private, Business and Mobile call numbers, e-mail address, fax no., Quick call
and Melody.
The advantage of using vCards within the telephone system is that directory information can be exchanged without having to manually enter this information in
time-consuming fashion.
Large system installations (e.g. in hospitals) have so-called Feature Access Codes
(FAC) for controlling important applications via the telephone. These usually
consist of defined series of numbers and characters (e.g. 9#1#3) and are transferred to the system like a call number. The codes can be conveniently saved in the
25
Special Functions
personal directory of each telephone by sending vCards (usually from a central
site). This also eliminates time-consuming manual entry.
The directory then contains the application name (e.g. Gate A door opener), the
FAC and if applicable, a suitable Quick call number. When the Auto quick hook
menu item is activated (see SIP-DECT user guide of the telephone) a telephone
entry can be immediately called by pressing the corresponding quick call number
key longer and the corresponding application is executed.
The system administrator is the one who authorises sending and receiving vCards
for each handset.
Note
Please note that the quick call number of a vCard can only be transferred when
that Quick call number has not yet been assigned by the recipient.
Activating vCard Reception
If vCard reception has not been activated by the system administrator the Receive
vCard menu entry is offered in the menu. The handset then has to be activated for
reception. Then vCard reception is available for 10 minutes respectively.

Note
vCards can also be sent by the system server in your VIP list.
Switching the Handset On/Off
It is possible to switch off the handset manually when a message is displayed.
When the battery runs low, the handset powers off automatically.
When the handset is switched on again and logged on to the communications
system, the last unread messages resp. the last jobs which have been not acknowledged are displayed again. Messages which cannot be delivered because the
handset was switched off, are stored in the integrated message server only for a
limited time.
