Using Programmable Buttons

Introduction

Your 4612 IP Telephone has 12 Line/Feature buttons, some of which are dedicated to incoming and outgoing calls. The remaining Line/Feature buttons can be programmed by your Telephone System Administrator to provide additional phone functionality.

Programmable Line/Feature Buttons

Line buttons available for incoming/outgoing calls are usually the first several buttons on the left-most button column.

The Line/Feature buttons following your incoming/outgoing lines may be reserved for features not available using dedicated buttons like Conf, Mute and Spkr. Features such as Voice Mail retrieval, Directory search, Inspect phone features and Program may also be assigned to this group of buttons. These features may alternately be available using the Display screen and softkeys, or through Access codes. How to access features using the Display screen is covered in Chapter 3,

Introduction

This chapter contains procedures for using each of the DEFINITY® phone features. Depending on how your 4612 IP Telephone was set up by your System Administrator, you can access some or all of the features discussed in this chapter using Line/Feature buttons, display menus or Access Codes.

We cover feature access methods in the next section. Following that section, a Feature List provides a reference to the descriptions and procedures for activating and using features, which follow the list in alphabetical order.

Accessing IP Telephone Features

Your IP Telephone provides three ways to access IP Telephone features:

1. Your System Administrator may have programmed some of your telephone's Line/Feature buttons to automatically access a feature when pressed. "steady green" indicator light to signify active status. When the feature is deactivated (turned off), the indicator light goes off.

If you don't have a button administered on your phone for a specific feature, you may be able to access a feature by entering a two or three digit access code using the number pad. Note that the procedures in this chapter often provide information about using access codes for applicable features. Your System Administrator assigns access codes.

3. Some features may also be accessed or initiated using the Display Control buttons (Menu, Exit, Right/Left Arrows) and the softkeys below the display screen. In so me cases , f e atur es acti v ated via softk e ys sho w a ca rat symbo l above the softkey label. When the feature is deactivated (turned off), the carat symbol no longer displays.

IP Telephone Management Features

Introduction

This chapter explains how to interpret both the different ringer tones you hear and the telephone’s indicator lights. Also covered are testing your telephone to be sure it is operating properly, and personalizing your phone’s ringing pattern.

Interpreting Ringer Tones

As you become more familiar with your IP Telephone, you will recognize the various tones you hear in response to an incoming call or while using the handset. The chart below provides an overview of the tones you hear; check with your System Administrator to verify if the descriptions are accurate for your system.

Ringing Tones accompany an incoming call. Feedback Tones (as shown on the next page) are those which you hear through the handset (receiver) or the speaker.

Personalizing Your Telephone's Ringing Pattern

The Select Ring feature lets you choose your own personalized ringing pattern from among eight different patterns.

Selecting a personalized ringing pattern

1. With the phone on-hook, press

The current ringing pattern sounds and repeats every three seconds.

2. Continue to press (and then release) eight ring patterns.

3. To save a ringing pattern as it plays, do not continue to press hear the selected ringing pattern two more times, after which it is automatically saved.

A confirmation tone (two rising tones) sounds and your new ringing pattern is set.

NOTE:

Going off-hook, receiving a call or losing power during ring pattern selection interrupts the process, and you must start over from Step 1.

Interpreting Indicator Lights

As you become more familiar with your IP T elephone, you will recognize the lights associated with a Line/Feature button. The chart below provides an overview of the indicator lights you see; check with your System Administrator to verify if the descriptions are accurate for your system.

Troubleshooting

Introduction

The DEFINITY 4600-Series IP Telephones are relatively trouble-free. The Basic Troubleshooting chart provides the most common problems an end user might encounter. The remaining pages in this chapter provide procedures for resetting or power-cycling your phone, when Basic Troubleshooting does not resolve the problem. For all other IP Telephone questions or problems, contact your Telephone System Administrator.

Basic Troubleshooting

Problem/Symptom Suggested Solution

Phone does not activate after connecting it the first time

Phone does not activate after a power interruption

Unless your System Administrator has already initialized your telephone, you may experience a delay of several minutes before it becomes operational. Upon plug-in, your telephone immediately begins downloading its operational software, its IP address and any special features programmed by your System Administrator from the server to which it is connected. Report any delay of more than 8-10 minutes to your System Administrator.

Allow a few minutes for re-initialization after unplugging, powering down the phone, server problems or other power interruption causes .
