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.
