About this Guide

Overview
This guide covers the use of the 2420 and 5420 phones on IP Office. Both phones are similar, however
the 5420 is only supported on the IP Office whereas the 2420 is supported on a range of Avaya phone
systems.
1. Display, Call Appearance and Feature Buttons: Call Appearance keys enable you to handle
multiple calls and the display shows call information. Details on system features (allocated by
your system administrator) can also be displayed. See Call Appearance Keys and Overview of
the Function Keys.
2. Message Lamp: The lamp is used as follows:
1. On (Continuous): There are new messages in your voicemail mailbox, or another

Options.

Call Appearance Keys
Normally, the first page of the main call handling screen contains three keys set as 'call appearance'
keys. These are allocated to you by your system administrator and are indicated as a=, b= and c=. An
underscored call appearance key (e.g. a=) indicates that the line is active.
Your system administrator can allocate a call appearance key with:
A Bridged Appearance
A bridged appearance key matches the status and operation of the call appearance key on a predefined colleague’s phone. Hence, you can pick-up, make and receive calls on behalf of your
colleague.
A Line Appearance
An IP Office exchange line (but not IP lines) can be allocated to you such that the status of that
line is displayed and you can use the line appearance key to make and receive calls.
Call Coverage Appearance
A call coverage appearance key alerts you when a pre-defined colleague is receiving a call. The
covered user does not need to be using call appearance keys. Hence, you can pick-up calls on
behalf of your colleague.
For details of Bridged, Line and Call Coverage Appearance keys set-up and their operation, refer the IP
Office Key and Lamp Operation manual.
Having more than two call appearance keys is very useful. When holding a call, you can answer or make
another call and then switch between calls, transfer or conference. If you are set to receive call waiting
indication, the waiting call is shown against the next call appearance key.
Caution
Although the system administrator can replace the call appearance keys with Bridged, Line and
Call Coverage Appearance keys, this would severely restrict the use of features such as
conference and transfer.
It is for this reason that it is strongly recommended that all call appearance keys remain at
their default settings.

Call Appearance Key Icons
The icons displayed against the Call Appearance/Feature keys, allow you to determine the status (for
example, on HOLD) of each call. Icons also indicate whether a feature has been activated for a
particular button.
Incoming Call:
A symbol next to a call appearance key indicates an incoming call.
Connected:
A symbol next to a call appearance key indicates that it is the currently connected call. The
caller's phone number (if available) is also shown. To put the call on hold, press HOLD. An H is
displayed.
On HOLD:
A symbol next to a call appearance key indicates a call on hold. To take the call off hold and
put any other current call on hold, press .
Function Active:
The button to the left or right of the function key is active.
System Features
System Features can only be set against soft Function Keys by your system administrator. However,
your system administrator may allocate you two ‘self administrator’ features that will enable you to add
System Features to your soft Function Keys.
In addition, there are a number of System Features that you can always access yourself by the use of
short codes. Refer to System Features Introduction for details of System Features that you can always
access yourself by dialling short codes. For example, to listen to your voicemail messages, dial *17.

Logging On
Your administrator has created your initial configuration so that you will be automatically logged on to
your home extension. However, you may be required to log in for the following reasons:
Forced login - if your configuration does not allow automatic login to your home extension.
To use an extension other than your own (hot desking)
If you, or somebody else, has logged you out of your extension.
Notes
When hot desking, any short codes you have setup on your home extension will be passed to the
extension you have logged on to.
Certain information such as speed-dials and call log are telephone model dependent, and will not
be passed to the new extension.
You will be able to hot desk to extensions on remote sites only if the Small Community Advanced
Networking License is installed on that system.
To login to your home extension (forced login), enter *35*P#, where 'P' is your login code.
To login at another extension (hot desking), enter *35*N*P#, where 'N' is your home extension number
and 'P' is your login code.
Notes
Your login code, if configured, will be supplied by your Administrator.
You have 4 attempts at logging on. If you fail to logon correctly, the message "Invalid" will be
shown on the main display and you will hear the busy tone. If you fail all 4 attempts to log on, you
must wait 90 seconds before any login will be accepted, whether correct or not.
Logging Off
If you have been allocated a login code, you can log your phone off to prevent unauthorized use during
an absence, or for privacy purposes.
If you are logging off from another extension, the system will log you back in at your home extension,
unless the force-login option is set.
Caution
Call Log entries and certain Speed Dial settings will remain on the extension even when you are
logged out.
To log off the phone where you had logged on dial *36.
