Introduction

This manual describes how to use the CONVERSip EP100 endpoint, models EP100G-L12 and EP100G-I12.

This manual is intended to provide:

• basic knowledge of the functions and features of the EP100G-L12/ I12 LCD user interface.

• step-by-step procedures for processing calls and controlling individual extension settings.

Audience Description

This manual is intended for persons who use CONVERSip EP100G-L12/ I12 endpoints on a day-to-day basis.

You should:

• read this manual in normal reading sequence before first using the EP100G-L12/I12 User Interface.

• refer to this manual as necessary while modifying your endpoint settings.

Related Publications

This manual refers you to related publications, when appropriate, for additional information.

Conventions Used in this Manual

Many of the procedures require you to enter settings or to choose from a list of variables. To signify when you are to act upon an item, parameter, button, etc. we italicize the name of the item being acted upon. For example, the following sentences instruct you to press a specific key on your keyboard.

• Press Enter.

• Press Esc.

viii Comdial Feb ‘05

Introduction

• Press Page Up or Page Down.

• Press and hold the Shift and Ctrl keys simultaneously.

In contrast, the following sentence instructs you to type in a required response; notice the word “Enter” when used in this way is not italicized because you are not pushing a specific key name.

• Enter the value you want to use for this feature.

Similarly, when you select a button or LCD menu option, we italicize the name of the button/menu item because you are required to take the action of choosing it, even though the item may not appear in italics on the endpoint or display.

• Use the arrow keys to highlight Programming and press Enter.

At other times in the manual, we discuss prompts that the system displays to you. In these cases, we enclose the exact wording of the prompt in quotation marks to signify that the system is, in essence, speaking to you.

• The system prompts, “Enter your password now.”

If the system is actually playing a recording aloud, we enclose the exact wording of the prompt in quotation marks and italics to signify that the system is in actually speaking to you.

• The system says, “You have no more new messages.”

Italics and quotes are also of course used in their normal contexts, that is, for emphasis and to identify what words are spoken.

• This is called a hot transfer, that is, the system transfers the call without ringing the extension.

There are times when this manual instructs you to enter a number from within a range of numbers. In this instance, we use the “~ “ character to indicate the range. For example, 05-01-1~3-001~100 tells you to enter:

• 05

• 01

• a 1, 2, or 3,

• a three-digit number that falls in the 001 to 100 range.

1.3 Using the Large Screen Display

Your EP100G-L12/EP100G-I12 has a large screen display consisting of six lines of 24 possible character positions per line. This provides you with much more system information than can be presented on two-line displays. This large display allows you many programming options as well as quick and easy selection of the many features available on your EP100G-L12/EP100G-I12. Your Speakerphone has 13 interactive buttons for selecting or programming features.

When your speakerphone is idle, the first line in your display shows the day, date and time while the sixth line displays the word OPTIONS. If your system is using the voice mail option, this is also indicated in the sixth line by the word VMAIL. If your voice mail has four messages for you, for example, the VMAIL display is replaced by 4MSG.

Lines two through four are used on the idle display to indicate features that may be active (flashing), enabled or set.

1.4 Setting Up Your Speakerphone

When your new EP100G-L12 or EP100G-I12 arrives, the system installer unpacks it and connects the line to a system jack. You may need to make a few initial adjustments so you can quickly begin making and answering calls with some of the most basic features.

1.4.1 POSITIONING YOUR SPEAKERPHONE

You should adjust the position of the EP100G-L12/EP100G-I12 on your desk or table to suit your individual needs, and maximize the performance of the sound activated features. When using your EP100G-L12/EP100G-I12, the microphone and loudspeaker are farther from you than when you use a handset. Some positioning tips to consider include:

• For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three feet of it and face the EP100G-L12/EP100G-I12.

• Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from operating properly. Avoid placing the EP100G-L12/ EP100G-I12 where it will detect sounds from keyboards, printers, paging systems, or other equipment.

• Place the endpoint on a hard surface and away from table edges. Do not place the endpoint in corners or enclosures. Do not let obstructions come between you and the microphone.

• Your endpoint has an adjustable pedestal to allow you to select the most comfortable viewing angle. When you receive the endpoint, the pedestal is in its lowest position flush against the pedestal.

EP100G-L12 / EP100G-I12 User

To adjust the pedestal, perform the following steps.

1. Grasp the rear of the pedestal

base firmly with one hand and lift the rear portion of the endpoint upward with your other hand.

2. Lift the endpoint upward with

one hand and raise the endpoint supporting arms upward with your other hand. (Notice there are three sets of notches under the endpoint corresponding to the three positions available.)

3. When the endpoint is at the desired height, select the closest

pair of notches and insert the supporting arms in the notches. Press down slightly on the endpoint until you feel the supporting arms snap into place.

2.2 Answering Intercom (Internal) Calls

An intercom call is one that is made from one system endpoint to another. Your station receives intercom calls in one of two ways depending upon system programming.

• In a voice-first setting, a short tone is followed by the caller’s voice heard on the speaker.

• With a tone-first setting, the endpoint rings in a distinctive pattern and you must take action to answer the call.

As with an outside call, your LCD screen displays the line number of the incoming call (e.g.,

L123

) and any caller ID information that the

ringing line is programmed to receive.

When you hear an intercom tone followed by the caller’s voice, speak toward the endpoint to answer, or lift the handset if you want privacy.

When you hear intercom ringing (two short bursts), perform the following steps.

1. Press Intercom or select

Answer.

2. Speak toward the endpoint or

lift the handset if you want privacy.

3. Select Do Not Disturb if you

do not wish to answer the call at this time. Note: For more information on setting Do

Not Disturb at your station, see Section 7.3, Do Not Disturb Condition.

2.4 Holding Calls

You can place a call on hold and retrieve it later. With a regular hold, you can pick up the held call at your endpoint or another user can pick the call up at an endpoint sharing the held call line appearance.

To place a call on hold, press the

HOLD station button, or select the Hold interactive button.

To retrieve a held call, press the line button of the held call (with winking green light), press Inter- com for an intercom held call, or press TAP. Then speak toward the endpoint or lift the handset if you want privacy. Note: Unless you

use your HOLD button to scroll through the calls on hold, TAP always retrieves the last number placed on hold, regardless of whether you have line appearance for the line on which the call is holding.

With an exclusive hold condition, you must pick up the held call at your endpoint; no other endpoint has access to the call.

To place a call on exclusive hold, press HOLD twice.

To retrieve exclusive hold, press the line button of held call (with winking green light), or press TAP. Then speak toward the endpoint or lift the handset if you want privacy.

2.4.1 HANDLING HOLD RECALLS

After a call has been on hold for the period of time (set by the installer of your system), the system:

• sounds four quick hold recall tone bursts at your endpoint,

• the flash rate of the line button becomes faster, and

• the light turns to orange.

Answering Calls

34 Comdial Feb ‘05

If the call is on exclusive hold, it reverts to manual hold after the hold recall period.

If a held line is recalling, select Hold to place the call on hold at your station and restart the hold timer. To retrieve the call instead, lift the handset, press the line button (with flashing orange light) or select Answer to retrieve the call.

2.4.2 USING DIRECTED CALL HOLD

The installer can add a directed station hold feature to your endpoint. With this feature, you can place a call on hold at another station. You can also pick up the held call that has been waiting the longest length of time at another endpoint.

To place a call on directed station hold, perform the following steps.

1. Answer the call.

2. Press INTERCOM or TRNS/CONF if it is an intercom call.

3. Dial *90.

4. Dial the extension number of station you want to receive the held call.

5. Hang up.

To retrieve a held call at another station, perform the following steps.

1. Press INTERCOM.

2. Dial *90.

3. Dial the extension number of the station where the call is currently on hold.

4. Press TAP to answer the call.

2.4.3 SELECTING SPECIFIC HELD CALLS

Often, you may have more than one call on hold at your station. You know you can retrieve the last call placed on hold simply by pressing TAP; however, if you do not have line appearance for a line on which another call is holding, the system provides a way for you to access that call before servicing the last call you placed on hold.

To scan your held calls and retrieve a specific one, repeatedly press HOLD to scan the held call list. Then press TAP to retrieve a call.

2.5 Call Pickup

The EP100G-L12/EP100G-I12 offers three distinct methods to answer incoming calls that are ringing at other stations:

• group call pickup,

4. Speak toward the endpoint or lift the handset if you want prvacy.

2.5.3 MONITORED STATION PICKUP

Your endpoint may have the personal intercom number of another endpoint appearing at a programmable button location. You can use the light associated with this button to monitor the status of that endpoint, and you can press the button to make a call to that endpoint if you wish. The associated light is known as the Busy Lamp Field (BLF) light, and the button is known as the Direct Station Select (DSS) button. If the installer arranged for your endpoint to have the station monitoring feature, the BLF light shows activity status at the monitored endpoint.

To monitor another endpoint, observe the BLF light indications next to the DSS/BLF button.

• Off = Station is idle.

• Flashing (if enabled) = Station has an incoming call.

• On = Station is busy.

Note: If you do not have the station monitoring feature, the BLF light shows: Off = idle, On = busy.

To call an idle monitored station or to answer one that is ringing, note the BLF light condition. Then press the assigned DSS/BLF button. Speak toward the endpoint, or lift the handset if you want privacy.

Note: If you place this call on hold or if you transfer it to another endpoint, the BLF light flashes a hold signal. You can retrieve the call by pressing TAP.

2.6 Receiving Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announcements (SOHVA)

2.6.1 HANDLING AN INCOMING SOHVA

This feature allows an intercom caller to break into your call by making an announcement through your handset receiver. The distant party that you are currently talking to cannot hear the announcement made by the SOHVA caller. You can respond to the SOHVA caller either verbally, or non-verbally using Response Messaging.

To respond to a SOHVA verbally, perform the following steps.

1. Select and hold REPLY.

2. Speak into the handset. The distant party cannot hear your response.

3. Press REPLY after response is complete to return to distant party.

To respond to a SOHVA non verbally using Response Messaging, perform the following steps.

1. Select Message.

2. Select one of the messages appearing in your LCD by selecting the corresponding interactive button. The message then appears in the display of the endpoint making the SOHVA.

3. Continue your current call with distant party. (The system automatically disconnects the SOHVA caller from your endpoint).

EP100G-L12 / EP100G-I12 User

Feb ‘05 Comdial 39

To respond to a SOHVA by blocking, select BLOCK when you hear SOHVA tone. The system then disconnects the SOHVA call. See Section 2.6.2, Voice Announce Blocking for more information.

Note: A station that is currently active in speakerphone mode or has Voice Announce Block set CANNOT receive a SOHVA.

2.6.2 VOICE ANNOUNCE BLOCKING

If your system installer makes this feature available, you can prevent voice announcements from sounding over your endpoint speaker if you wish. This feature also blocks Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announcements (SOHVA) and therefore refuses any attempted SOHVAs.

To block (unblock) all voiceannounced calls, perform the following steps.

1. Select OPTIONS.

2. Select Programming.

3. Select Voice Announce

Block.

4. Select ON to block voice announcements, or OFF to unblock them.

40 Comdial Feb ‘05

5. Select EXIT to end. Caller ID (Automatic Number Identification)

When installed by system programming, the Caller ID feature allows you to view incoming call numbers before you answer them. Incoming call numbers flash in the left half of the LCD. If the name of the calling party is available it displays in the second half on the right side of the LCD. If you answer the call, the number appears steady in the left half of the LCD.

The system also stores numbers that ring on your line but receive no answer. The system indicates that it has stored ring-no answer numbers by flashing the programmed Caller-ID (CID) light on your endpoint. If you press the CID button you can view the stored numbers one at a time. If you press the programmed SAVED NUMBER REDIAL button, the system dials the displayed number. If the call has been returned by someone else, select the T key to reveal who returned the call. Everyone sharing your line can scroll through the stored numbers and choose which calls to return.

To scroll through ring-no answer numbers stored on your system (when the CID light is flashing), perform the following steps.

1. Select the CID button on your endpoint. Your LCD displays

the calling number, date, and time the call came in. The most recent call appears first in the list.

2. Select the CID button each time you wish to display the next most recent ring-no answer call to your line.

3. To dial one of the numbers in the redial queue, select the SAVED NUMBER REDIAL button. The system automatically dials the number.

Depending on your system programming, when a call is returned it might remain in the ring-no answer queue, or the system might delete it from the ring-no answer queue. Your system administrator can tell you how the feature is programmed. If the system is programmed to leave a returned number in the redial queue, the display shows an S next to numbers that have been returned.

To determine who viewed the number and returned the call, dial *.

3.3 Automatic Dialing

This feature provides one- or two-button speed dialing using programmable buttons at which you have previously stored numbers. Two levels of number storage are available at each storage location, and you can use one or both levels as needed. Also, since you usually store a line choice as part of a speed dial number, line selection is automatic with speed dialing.

There are two types of speed dial numbers:

• numbers that you store for your own use (personal speed dial

numbers), and

• numbers that the system attendant stores for everyone’s use

(system speed dial numbers).

To use a programmed speed dial, press the programmed speed dial button, or press SHIFT and programmed speed dial button.

To use a personal speed dial number, while on hook, dial the speed dial number on the dial pad (0 to 9).

To speed dial a system speed dial number, while on hook dial * and system speed dial number.
