Power Requirements
The Model 8600 Phone requires either an individual power supply unit or a centralized power source to power the phone. Check with your system administrator about
the specific power requirements for your phone.
Before connecting a power supply unit, make sure it is compatible with your phone.
The following individual power supply units are compatible with the Model 8600
Phone:
• Inter-Tel Power Supply Unit (Part Number 806.1114)
• Red Hawk Single Port PowerSense
• An industry-standard IEEE 802.3 Power Supply Unit
It is recommended that you plug your phone’s individual power supply unit into an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). If your phone’s power supply unit is not
plugged into a UPS and the power fails, the current phone call will be dropped.
NOTE: Contact your system administrator to order a new power supply unit for your
phone.
Your system may be configured to use a centralized power source (power over Ethernet) rather than an individual power supply unit. Your system administrator will
explain how to connect your phone to the centralized power source. If your phone
uses power over Ethernet, do not connect an individual power supply unit to the
phone.

ABOUT VOICE MAIL
Voice mail is an application that is part of the Inter-Tel Voice Processor. With the
voice mail application, you and other callers can send and receive recorded messages
from any station, touchtone telephone, or other device on the phone system. To use
this and other features, each user is assigned a “voice mailbox,” which usually corresponds to a valid extension number. You can, however, have an “unassociated” mailbox that does not correspond to an extension. Unassociated mailboxes are typically
FINDING YOUR WAY
used for agents or other personnel who don’t have a permanent office.
With your voice mailbox, you can use personal or system greetings to let callers know
if you are out of town, on a call, etc. (see page 12). If a caller reaches your voice mailbox, they can leave a message, hang up, or access an attendant.
In addition, the voice mail administrator can program the name for “group lists” of
mailboxes. With these lists, you can send a message to a group of people by entering
one number instead of everyone’s individual mailbox number.
NOTE: You cannot cancel unheard (unretrieved) messages that are sent using group
lists (see page 32).
SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY
Your Model 8600 Phone is compatible with the following Inter-Tel software:
• Axxess system software V8.1 and later
• Unified Communicator
• CT Gateway V4.1and later

V2.1 and later

WHAT YOU SEE AND HEAR
Your Model 8600 Phone and the telephone system come equipped with many features. To help you understand what everything means, it is recommended that you
read the following information before you use your phone:
• A red lamp indicates that a call is ringing, holding, or active on your phone.
• The phone’s lamps may be solidly lit or flashing to indicate the status of a call or
feature. To avoid confusion, this guide uses different icons to signify that a lamp
is unlit ( ), lit, ( ), or flashing ( ).
CNF
• If you hear four fast tones or repeating fast tones (reorder tone), you have pressed
an invalid button combination, tried to select a restricted line, dialed a restricted
or invalid number, dialed too slowly between digits, or waited too long before
performing the next step. Hang up and try again.
• Your telephone system may be programmed for one or two dial tones. Systems
with two dial tones have one for intercom calls and one for outside calls.
• Many features “time out” if you wait too long before performing the next step. If
this happens, you must hang up and start over.
• “Off-hook” means that the handset is lifted, and “on-hook” indicates that the
handset is in the cradle. For example, you must first go “off-hook” to make a call,
but you must go “on-hook” to end a call.

Recording Your Personal Greetings
You can store two different personal greetings in your voice mailbox: a primary and
an alternate. You can then select which greeting you want played when a caller
reaches your voice mailbox. Because the purpose of this greeting is to tell callers why
they have reached your voice mailbox, you should include the following information:
• Whether or not you are in the office and where you can be reached
• When you will be returning calls
• For callers who do not wish to leave a message, how to exit voice mail (press
to return to the operator)
The following are some sample greetings to help you plan your message:
• Primary Greeting: Hello, this is __________. I am either on another line or
away from my desk and cannot take your call at this time. If you need to speak to
someone immediately, please dial zero now. Otherwise, please leave a detailed
message, and I will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you.
• Alternate Greeting: Hello, this is __________. I will be away from the office
from day/date until day/date. If you need to speak to someone immediately,
please dial zero now. Otherwise, please leave a detailed message, and I will

MAKING AND RECEIVING CALLS
Making and receiving calls is the basic purpose of any phone. With your Model 8600
Phone, you can make/receive intercom and outside calls and make emergency calls.
Consult your system administrator and your local Inter-Tel servicing company for
important information about dialing emergency services from your Model 8600
Phone before you begin using it.
Intercom Calls
Your extension number allows other people to place intercom calls to you, without
dialing any extra codes. And, because every phone in your phone system is assigned
an extension number, you can call other people in your system quickly and easily.
NOTE: Ask your system administrator for a list of extensions.
Placing Intercom Calls
GETTING STARTED
To place an intercom call:
1. Lift the handset and dial an extension number.
2. If your call goes through handsfree to a phone’s speaker, speak after your party
answers.

The phone system allows you to place a non-handsfree call that will override handsfree mode on the extension you are calling. If you use the Ring Intercom Always feature to always send non-handsfree calls, the called party must pick up the handset to
answer the call.

you when your mailbox receives new messages. Using a “cascade” (a series of up to
nine telephone numbers), voice mail will call each number until it successfully connects to a device (e.g., pager, answering machine, etc.).
Because your mailbox can have a primary and an alternate cascade of numbers, you
can program a cascade to be used during specific days and times. For example, if you
want to be paged when you receive a message from 5-10 PM on weekdays, you can
set up a primary cascade. If you also want to receive pages for messages marked “priority” on the weekends, you could set your alternate cascade for all day on Saturdays
and Sundays.
NOTE: If for some reason voice mail is not able to use your remote notification, your
mailbox will receive a message stating that notification could not be completed.

SPEED DIALING
Speed dialing allows you (and your system administrator) to store frequently dialed
numbers for easy dialing. Each number is stored on your phone (Station Speed Dial)
or in the phone system (System Speed Dial) and is identified by a location number.
Once programmed, you can then quickly dial these numbers by entering a feature
code and dialing the desired location number. Because the system supports both Station and System Speed-Dial numbers, you can have access to over 1000 stored numbers.
Station Speed Dial
You can program and use up to ten personal speed-dial numbers on your phone. In
addition, if you have programmable feature buttons, you can program them as speeddial buttons for one-touch dialing. To use a speed-dial button, you must:
• Store the number in a speed-dial location.
• Program an available feature button as a speed-dial button.
• Associate a speed-dial location with the new speed-dial button.
NOTE: You can use the Speed-Dial feature even if your phone does not have pro-
grammable feature buttons.

REQUESTING AGENT HELP
NOTE: This feature is not supported on peer-to-peer (P2P) calls. Ask your system
administrator if your phone is configured to use P2P audio.
Your telephone system may be programmed to support the Agent Help feature, which
allows you to request help from a designated “Agent Help Extension” (usually your
supervisor) during a call. When your request call rings at the Agent Help Extension,
the supervisor can choose to join the call or reject the request.
If the Agent Help Extension is a digital phone, the phone’s microphone is automatically muted so that the supervisor cannot be heard unless he or she presses . If
the Agent Help Extension is a single-line phone, however, the supervisor can be
heard as soon as the conference is established. In either case, the supervisor can hear
all other parties on the call.
To use the Agent Help feature while on a call:
1. Press and dial . If you hear repeating tones, the Agent Help feature
is not available at your phone, you already have four parties in your call, not
enough system circuits are currently available, or the Agent Help Extension is in
DND.
2. Dial the Agent Help Extension number, if required. (Your phone may be pro-
grammed to automatically dial the number, or you may be required to dial it.)
If the Agent Help Extension accepts the call, you hear the Agent Help tone, if it is
enabled, and the supervisor can monitor or join your call.
If the Agent Help Extension rejects the call, you hear a confirmation tone.

WORKING IN HUNT GROUPS
Your system may be programmed with “hunt groups.” Hunt groups are groups of
phones that share a common extension number in addition to having individual extension numbers. This allows someone to call anyone in the group (using the common
extension) or a specific member (using the individual extension). The members of
these groups and the common extension(s) are programmed by your system administrator.
Hunt Group Calls Enabled/Disabled
If you are a member of a hunt group, you can enable or halt hunt group calls to your
extension.
To turn on or off hunt group calls:
3
Dial
ACD Hunt Groups
Some hunt groups use a special feature called Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) that
distributes the hunt group calls equally among the available members. These hunt
group members are referred to as “agents,” who log in to the ACD hunt group to
receive calls and log out to halt ACD hunt group calls.
Distributing Calls
Calls are distributed through an ACD hunt group based on Agent IDs or extensions,
as described below.
• Agent IDs: If the hunt group is programmed to use ACD Agent IDs, each agent
is assigned an Agent ID number to enter during the login procedure (described on
the next page). The hunt group calls are routed to logged-in agents, according to
their Agent ID number instead of their extension number. Because the Agent ID
is not associated with any extension, the agent can use any phone in the system to
log in.
• Members: If the hunt group is not programmed to use Agent IDs, it will have a
pre-programmed list of phones and will send calls to the phones where agents are
logged in.

INTRODUCTION
If you want to know more about your phone and voice mail system, this is the section
for you. With additional information and FAQs, you should be able to find answers to
most of your questions.
WHAT THE ADMINISTRATORS CAN DO FOR YOU
The administrators are the people to whom you should turn if you have any problems
with your phone and/or voice mail. They have access to advanced programming features and can reset certain settings associated with your phone.
The types of administrators that can help you with your phone/voice mail are as follows:
• System Administrator: Performs certain telephone system functions, including:
— Setting the date and time
— Programming System Speed-Dial numbers
— Making database changes, such as programming usernames, toll restriction,
DND messages, and extension numbers
• Voice Mail Administrator: Performs tasks associated with the voice mail sys-
tem, including:
— Recording a broadcast message that is sent to all mailboxes at once
— Performing mailbox maintenance (such as changing your password)
LEARNING MORE
GETTING STARTED
62
— Customizing voice mail prompts
NOTE: Because the telephone system is very flexible and programmable, the proce-
dures for using the features might vary slightly from the descriptions in this guide. If so,
your trainer or system administrator can tell you how your system differs and how to
use the features.
If you are a system administrator or if you need additional information not available
in this guide, refer to the Administrator’s Guide (part number 550.8001).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
This section includes some of the most frequently asked questions. If you have problems with your phone or voice mailbox, refer to this section before you contact your
system administrator or your local Inter-Tel dealer.
Q1. How do I program System Speed-Dial numbers?
A1. Only your system administrator can program System Speed-Dial numbers. You can,
however, program up to ten Station Speed-Dial numbers (see page 44).
Q2. Why can’t I make and receive calls using the speakerphone?
A2. Although the phone has an external speaker, it does not have an external microphone.
Therefore you must use the handset to communicate with another party when you
make and receive calls.
Q3. How can I retrieve messages if I do not know the password for my voice mail?
A3. Try using your extension number, which is your default password. Or, maybe you do
not have a password, in which case pressing is all you need to do. If these options
don’t work, contact your system administrator, who can change or erase the password
for you. You can then retrieve your messages and reset the password, if desired (see
page 39).
Q4. Why can’t I retrieve deleted messages?
A4. Voice mail may have erased your message. After a programmed amount of time has
lapsed, up to 24 hours, voice mail automatically erases all deleted messages (see
page 30). If you attempted to undelete a voice mail message within this time frame
but you were still unsuccessful, your voice mail system may not have sufficient space
programmed to store deleted messages.
#
Q5. How can I set the number of rings that are allowed before the call is sent to voice
mail?
A5. Only your system administrator can change the number of rings.
Q6. Why can’t I hear dial tone when I pick up my handset?
A6. Your phone may be in headset mode. While on-hook, enter the Headset Off feature
code ( ) or the Headset On/Off feature code ( ).

Q7. Why can’t I program a Station Speed-Dial number to the button I want?

Q8. Why can’t I use one of the features described in this guide?
