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
Feb ‘05 Comdial 23
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.
Also remember, as with any piece of electronic equipment, your endpoint may be damaged by contact with liquids. Please try to place the
endpoint in an area that is free from the danger of spills.

1.4.5 SETTING VOLUME LEVELS
The volume control on your endpoint
is a multipurpose control you can use
to set the volume (loudness) of the
ringer, the speaker, and the handset.
There are four ringer loudness levels
(plus an off position).
To set the ringer loudness level,
perform the following steps.
