Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Aastra’s 9516CW telephone. We think you’ll ﬁnd it’s full of exciting features. With a built-in digital answering machine, personal Directory, and a Callers list, your new telephone is designed to take full advantage of the latest services offered by your local telephone company.

When you subscribe to services such as Calling Line Identiﬁcation and Call Waiting Identiﬁcation

†

through your local telephone company, your 9516CW will show you all the caller information you’ll need on its three-line back-lit display. For example, before you even answer a call you’ll know who is calling, even if it’s a Call Waiting call. And Call Waiting identiﬁcation information can appear on two telephone extensions at the same time so that someone at either extension can initiate the switch to a Call Waiting call. Your telephone will also tell you how many messages and new callers you have.

The answering machine doesn’t need an audio tape or batteries to work, so it’s easy to set up. All you have to do is plug in your telephone and it’s ready to receive messages. It’s also very reliable. You will not lose any of your messages or greetings (outgoing messages) if there is a power failure of up to 72 hours.

You can set up a personal Directory in which you can enter up to 75 names and numbers. And for each of these numbers, you can record personalized greetings and Call Announcements (Voice Tags).

Your Callers List will log up to 75 incoming calls and messages, and you can now record personalized greetings and Call Announcements (Voice Tags) to numbers stored in memory keys.

The Options List makes it easy for you to personalize your telephone, and the back-lit three-line display provides walk-through prompting that makes all of the many features and options even easier to customize. Please read on for more information on the many features of your 9516CW.

Greetings

When the answering machine is turned on, a greeting is played to your incoming callers when you are unavailable to take their calls. The 9516CW greets your callers with a factory-recorded General Greeting that asks your callers to leave a message. If you choose not to use the factory General Greeting, you can record your own. See The General Greeting on page 14 for more information.

The Special Greeting is the same as the General Greeting except that it is activated by a distinctive ring. See The Special Greeting on page 14 for more information.

When you have the Call Blocking option turned on, your 9516CW intercepts calls from people who have blocked their telephone numbers and plays the Private Greeting. See The Private Greeting on page 15 and Call Blocking on page 51 for more information.

Personal greetings are played when you want a speciﬁc greeting played to people that you have entered in your Directory or memory keys. See Directory on page 20, Personal-

ized Greetings for Directory entries on page 26, and Personalized Greetings for Memory keys on page 38 for more information.

You can also assign Mailbox greetings to selected groups of people that have been entered into your Directory. See Mailbox Greetings on page 30 and Directory on page 20 for more information.

To achieve the best sound quality for recorded greetings and Call Announcements, it is recommended that you record by speaking into the handset instead of the handsfree microphone.

Sometimes callers choose not to listen to your greeting before recording a message. They can press £ to skip your greeting and leave a message immediately. Note, however, that pressing £ will not allow callers to skip the Automated Attendant greeting.

Note: The Special, Private, and Personalized Greeting features require that you subscribe

to your telephone company for the Calling Line Identiﬁcation service.

The General Greeting

If you choose not to use the factory-recorded General Greeting, you can record your own. The purpose of the General Greeting is to greet your callers and provide them with information about leaving messages. After you ﬁnish recording, you should replay your greeting to ensure it sounds the way you intended.

For example:

“Hi. This is Mike Prentice. I’m unable to take your call right now. Please leave a message after the tone and I will return your call as soon as possible.”

While you are recording your greeting, you can press ˙ to pause. A pause is useful if you are interrupted while you are recording your greeting. When you are ready to continue recording your greeting, press ˙again. The pause is not included in your greeting and will not be heard by the callers.

Note : Although you can use either Handsfree or the handset to record your greeting, a

better recording results when you speak directly into the handset.

The Special Greeting

The Special Greeting is activated by a Distinctive Ring. For your telephone to receive a Distinctive Ring, you must subscribe to your telephone company for Distincti v e Ringing

†

The telephone company will then provide you with an additional telephone number that has a slightly different ring. The 9516CW will use the two ring types to determine whether the caller should hear the General Greeting or the Special Greeting.

For example, the Special Greeting could be very useful if you are operating a business out of your home. You could record a residential message for the General Greeting, and then record a business message for the Special Greeting, as follows:

General Greeting - “Hi you’ve reached the Anderson’s. We’re unable to take your call

right now. Please leave your name and number and we’ll give you a call back as soon as we can.”

Special Greeting - “Thank you for calling Anderson Graphics. No one is available to take your call right now. Please leave your name and number and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.”

All you would have to do in this case is give your business customers and associates your Distinctive Ringing number, and they would only hear the business message (the Special Greeting). On the other hand, friends and family who have your regular home number would only hear the residential message (the General Greeting).

You can also have a caller who doesn’t ha ve the Distinctive Ring number hear the Special Greeting by assigning it to that caller’s number in the Directory or a memory key.

Note : If you subscribe to Long Distance Ringing, then the Special Greeting will be

played when you receive a long distance call. Also, you cannot use the Special Greeting and the Fax Switch feature at the same time.

†

The actual name for the Distinctive Ringing service varies from area to area. This service may also be known as

Ident-a-call, Ident-a-ring, Teen Service, Signal Ring, Custom Ringing or Long Distance Ringing.

The Private Greeting

†

The Private Greeting is played to callers who have blocked the display of their telephone numbers. Calling Line Identiﬁcation for these callers appears as “Private name” and/or “Private number”.

You must record the Private Greeting before it can be played to callers who have blocked their telephone numbers or names. If you do not record a Private Greeting, these callers will hear the General Greeting.

For example:

“You are calling from a private number, please identify the number you are calling from and I will return the call.”

The Private Greeting is commonly used in conjunction with the Call Blocking feature. For more information about the Call Blocking feature, see Call Blocking on page 51.

Directory

The 9516CW stores the numbers and names of up to 75 of your business associates, clients, contacts, and friends in your Directory. You can dial these numbers by selecting them.

Names are sorted alphabetically starting with their ﬁrst character. (If you want your Directory sorted by the last name, enter the last name ﬁrst.) If you do not enter a name, the item is sorted by telephone number. The Directory items with only a telephone number are numerically sorted at the beginning of the Directory.

You also use the Directory to assign Personalized Greetings, Mailbox Greetings and Call Announcements (Voice Tags) to phone numbers.

A greeting is the message that callers hear when they are leaving a message on the 9516CW. These greetings can be personalized for a particular person or group of people stored in your Directory. (For more information on greetings in general, see Greetings on page 13.)

A mailbox is a storage place for messages. The 9516CW has 12 mailboxes. When someone calls and their number matches a Directory item, the call is automatically routed to the mailbox assigned to it in the Directory. (For more information about mailboxes, see Mailboxes on page 29 and Mailbox Greetings on page 30.)

A Call Announcement (Voice Tag) can be recorded for each person that you have entered into your Directory. This announcement is played through the handsfree speaker of the 9516CW when someone at that number calls so you know who is calling without looking at the telephone display. (For more information about Call Announce (Voice Tag), see

Call Announce (Voice T ag) on page 22). Note : To achieve the best sound quality for recorded greetings and Call Announcements,

it is recommended t hat you record by speaking into the handset instead of the handsfree microphone.

Mailboxes

The 9516CW is equipped with 12 mailboxes for individual message storage. It uses Calling Line Identiﬁcation information to send the incoming calls to the assigned mailboxes automatically.† When an incoming number matches an entry in the Directory, the call is routed to the assigned mailbox. If there is no match to a Directory entry, the calls are routed to the General mailbox.

When an incoming call is routed to a mailbox, that caller hears the greeting recorded for that mailbox. This greeting is called a mailbox greeting. You can record a different mailbox greeting for each of the mailboxes. If you do not record a greeting for a particular mailbox, the greeting recorded for the General mailbox is used. For more information about mailbox greetings, see Mailbox Greetings on page 30.

There are three classes of mailboxes: Normal - The 9516CW plays the mailbox greeting and then callers are given an opportu-

nity to leave a message. Announce Only - A mailbox greeting is played to the caller, but the caller is not given

an opportunity to leave a message. This type of mailbox pro vides information to the caller (for example, a greeting that states hours the business is open).

Ring Through - The callers hear a tone indicating that they are on hold, but the 9516CW rings to let you know someone is in that mailbox. If you do not answer after four rings, the General Mailbox Greeting is played. The 9516CW plays a message to the caller that no one is available to take their call and to leave a message. This type of mailbox is used only with the Automated Attendant feature. See Automated Attendant on page

52.

†

You must subscribe to your telephone company for the Calling Line Identiﬁcation service.

All mailboxes default to the Normal class. To change the class of the mailbox, you must use the editing function below. Note that you cannot change the class of the General and Special mailboxes.

Mailbox Greetings

Each of the 12 mailboxes on the 9516CW can have a speciﬁc greeting assigned to it. These greetings are called Mailbox greetings.

Mailbox greetings allow you to assign a particular greeting to one or more callers. The caller’s telephone number must match one of the numbers in the Directory and be assigned to a mailbox. When a call is receiv ed from callers assigned to a mailbox, they will hear the greeting assigned to that mailbox.

For example, John entered the numbers of his baseball teammates into his Directory and assigned them all to one particular mailbox. Then he recorded a greeting for that mailbox that contained information about baseball practice. Now, when any of his teammates calls from a number he has stored in his Directory, the 9516CW plays the following message:

“Hi team, the baseball practice has been resc heduled to F riday. Leave me a message to let me know if you can still attend.”

The 9516CW plays a factory-recorded General Greeting unless you record your own General Greeting. Each mailbox will contain the General Greeting (the factory-recorded one or your own recorded one) until you record a unique mailbox greeting. You record mailbox greetings in the Greeting list.

Sometimes callers choose not to listen to your greeting before recording a message. They can press £ to skip your greeting and leave their message immediately.

Assigning people to a Mailbox

A person’s telephone number must be entered into the Directory before you can assign that person to a mailbox. For more information on Directory entries, see Creating a New Directory Entry on page 21.

You can assign a mailbox to a group of family members or colleagues. Every person in this group will hear the same greeting. Also, only messages left by this group are stored in this mailbox.

Callers who do not appear in the Directory can also be directed to a mailbox. For callers to leave a message in a speciﬁc mailbox, they must enter the mailbox number before they record their message. For this to work properly you must inform the caller which number to press to get the right mailbox.

For example, you may have three people who share the 9516CW and they want to have their messages stored in separate mailboxes.

“Hello, we are unable to take your call right now. To leave a messag e for Bob, pr ess ⁄; to leave a message for John, press ¤; to leave a message for Adam, press ‹

The page feature of the 9516CW allows you to send a page message to other 9516CW telephones, to an external speaker within your ofﬁce, or to other page- compatible 9000 series telephones (such as the 9417CW). Before you can use this feature, you must program one memory key on each telephone in the paging network to be the page key. Also, page lines must be connected between all of the 9000 series telephones. See Installing the Page Lines on page 45 for more information on connecting the page lines.

When the Page feature is activated, page lines are installed and the Call Announce Option on your telephone is set to either “Name Only” or “Name or Number”, either the Call Announce (Voice Tag) or the number of the caller who phones your telephone will be heard over the other Page-enabled telephones and any attached external speakers. For example, if you have Joe’s number stored in your Directory with the Call Announce, “It’s Joe calling,” and Joe calls your Page-enabled telephone, all phones in the paging network will hear, “It’s Joe calling,” before they hear Joe’s page message.

The Security Numbers feature

The 9516CW is equipped with a Security Numbers feature to keep selected numbers private when you dial. When you ha ve entered a security number using this option, your telephone does not display or store the digits that you dial after that security number. Instead, the numbers that follow the security number are replaced with the * symbol on the display . You can secure up to ﬁve 12-digit numbers.

For example, Joe enters 291-9000 as a security number through the Set Options list. His Voice Mail number is 1234 and his password is 5678. To access his messages, Joe dials 291-9000 1234 5678. Because the Voice Mail number and password follow the security number, the display shows 291-9000 **** ****, and Joe’s password is not displayed or stored in the Redial List. For more information on the Redial List, refer to Using the Redial List on page 7.

To use the Fax Switch, you must subscribe to your telephone company for Distinctive Ringing†. The telephone company will then provide you with an additional telephone number (for your Fax Switch peripheral) which will have a slightly different ring. The 9516CW will use the two ring types to determine whether an incoming call is for the telephone or the peripheral. The peripheral should be set to answer after three or more rings.

Note: If Long Distance Ringing† is available in your area, long distance calls will be sent

to the Fax Switch peripheral. Also, you cannot use the Fax Switch feature and the Special Greeting feature at the same time.

The 9516CW must be conﬁgured so the Fax Switch peripheral is connected to pins 3 and 4 of jack number 2. See Connecting an optional fax machine or modem on page 4 for more information.

Note: If you subscribe to your telephone company for Call Waiting services, your Fax

Switch peripheral may lose data or get disconnected if someone calls while your fax is receiving data. We recommend that you do not subscribe to the Call Waiting service from your telephone company if you are using the Fax Switch feature.

Incoming Calls

The ﬁrst ring of an incoming call will ring at the 9516CW and the Fax Switch peripheral. The 9516CW uses this ring to identify which device the call is intended for. If it is a normal ring, the call is routed to the 9516CW and the Fax Switch peripheral stops ringing and is disconnected. If it is a distinctive ring, the call is rerouted to the Fax Switch peripheral and the 9516CW stops ringing.

Outgoing Calls

When the Fax Switch peripheral is idle, the 9516CW can be used as a normal line. When the Fax Switch peripheral is in use, the set indicator light and

Copying the Directory to another 9516CW telephone

The contents of the Directory of one 9516CW telephone can be copied into the Directory of another 9516CW. You can save a lot of programming time by copying the contents of a completed Directory to another Directory instead of entering the names and numbers again. The contents of the Directory can also be transferred into any other 8000 & 9000 series telephone that supports Directory transfer. (For example, the 9417CW).

While the Directory is being transferred, the telephone is out of service. Note : Both 9516CW telephones must have separate telephone numbers.

To copy the Directory to another 9516CW telephone:

Steps 1 to 3 must be completed on both 9516CW telephones. Note : You can only transfer the Directory to one 9516CW at a time.

1. Press the Set Options key.

2. Use

3. Follow the instructions on the display to begin the Directory transfer.

During the transfer, press the left side of

Data transfer aborted.

Note : To end the Directory Transfer at any time, press ®. If the Directory on the telephone receiving the information ﬁlls before the Directory

Transfer is ﬁnished, the rest of the Directory items are not sent. For example, if the telephone receiving the information already has 50 items in its Directory, only the ﬁrst 25 Directory items are transferred.

When you transfer directory items from one 9516CW to another, any information such as call announcements/voice tags, mailbox greetings or mailbox numbers are not transferred. You need to re-enter this information to the receiving 9516CW.

Note : If you subscribe to the Call Waiting service from your telephone company and

someone calls while the Directory Transfer is in progress, the transfer may be corrupted by the Call Waiting tone.

Call Blocking

The Call Blocking feature detects “Private Name” and/or “Private number” incoming calls. When “Private Name” or “Private number” calls are received, Call Blocking directs the call to be answered after the ﬁrst ring by the answering machine. The caller will hear the Private Greeting if you have recorded one. See The Private Greeting on page 15 for more information. The Call Blocking option default is off.

For example: You may be receiving nuisance calls from “Private Number” and/or “Private Name” call-

ers. Enabling Call Blocking sends these types of calls to the answering machine after the ﬁrst ring instead of interrupting you.

Automated Attendant

The Automated Attendant feature of the 9516CW works as the receptionist for a small business. When activated, the Automated Attendant prompts provide a list of options so your callers can:

• receive information

• leave messages

• be connected to an operator The Automated Attendant feature provides your callers with commands to use each of

these options. The callers press the key on the dial pad associated with the option they want to activate.

When the Automated Attendant feature is turned on, callers always hear the Automated Attendant greeting, even if you hav e recorded a personal greeting. Callers cannot skip the Automated Attendant greeting by pressing £.

Example of Automated Attendant

The following example explains ho w to set up the mailbox es and greetings to use the automated attendant.

Joe’s Bistro has some customers who prefer to use English and some who prefer to use Italian. For this reason, Joe has decided to change his automated attendant to include both languages.

The ﬁrst thing Joe did was subscribe to his telephone company to get Distinctive Ringing service. This gives him one telephone number for his English customers and one for his Italian customers.

Next, Joe recorded his General Mailbox Greeting:

“Thank you for calling Joe’s Bistro. For today’s lunch specials, press ⁄; for our business hours, press ¤; to leave a message, press ‹; to speak to Joe, press ›.”

Then Joe recorded his Special Mailbox Greeting to take advantage of his Distinctiv e Ring feature. This greeting is in Italian and tells the customers to press ﬁ for lunch specials, ﬂ for business hours, ‡ to leave a message and ° to speak to Joe.

Joe then set up his mailboxes as shown in this table.

Mailbox # Mailbox type Greeting

1 Announce “The special for today is corned beef on rye.” 2 Announce “Our business hours are 7:00 am to 9:00 pm on week days

and 11:00 am to 11:30 pm on Saturdays.”

3 Normal “Please leave a message after the tone and I will get back to

you as soon as possible.”

4 Ring through The caller will hear a tone and the telephone will ring to let

Joe know that someone would rather speak to him than leav e a message. If Joe does not answer this call, the following message is played: “I’m sorry , but I cannot answer the phone right now. Please leave a message after the tone and I will

get back to you as soon as possible.” 5 Announce Same as mailbox 1, but greeting is in Italian. 6 Announce Same as mailbox 2, but greeting is in Italian. 7 Normal Same as mailbox 3, but greeting is in Italian. 8 Ring through Same as mailbox 4, but greeting is in Italian.

The Automated Attendant default is off.
