TELEPHONE SYSTEM
The Inter-Tel Axxess Telephone system is a state-of-the-art, digital, voice/data, hybrid telephone system. As a hybrid system, it incorporates many of the user-friendly features of key
systems with many of the expanded features and flexibility of private branch exchange (PBX)
systems.
The system is designed to meet the needs of growing businesses. In fact, the system’s unique
digital signal processing (DSP) structure allows it to be easily adapted and expanded as business communication needs change, especially with the Caller ID, Automatic Number Identification (ANI), Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS), and Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) features. The modular design makes the system easy to install and service.
And, the programmable features provide an abundance of user-friendly applications to meet
each customer’s needs. Highlights of the system’s design include:
NETWORKING
With system software versions 5.0 and later, you can connect two or more phone systems to
form a network that provides a seamless interface between the systems. To the user, the network appears as though it is one integrated system. With few exceptions, the user can perform
all of the functions across the network that he can within a single phone system.
In this manual, all references to a “network” mean two or more connected systems. Each system in a network is called a “node.”
The maximum capacities for networking are listed in the following table.
* The maximum number of stations and trunks that can be installed is limited by the number of
voice channels and/or system memory resources available.
•Advanced microprocessor technology.
•Modular, easily replaceable hardware with add-on capabilities for optional features.
•Flexible programming to customize many system and station features.

time while it is playing), the caller may then dial an extension or mailbox number.
mated attendant, is not answered before the Transfer Voice Processor timer expires, the
call recalls the Automated Attendant Recall Destination. The Recall Destination
announces that the station is unavailable and allows the caller to leave a message (if the
station has an associated mailbox) or dial another extension.
— A Call Routing Announcement application can be used in place of a playback
device. The playback device function is especially useful for programming hunt
group announcement and overflow stations. When called, the Call Routing
Announcement application will play a recording and then hang up.
— The Call Routing Announcement application can use Digit Translation which
allows the caller to press a single digit for access to a mailbox, a fax-on-demand
function, or a station or hunt group that has an associated mailbox or extension ID.
Digit translation can be programmed for each digit 0-9, #, and *, plus a Timeout
that is used when the caller does not enter a digit. Each digit can lead to a “digit
translation node” that has its own digit translation values. This layered Call Routing Announcement digit translation creates a “tree” of programmable digit translation nodes.

Voice Processor
•Record-A-Call: This feature allows a station user to record an ongoing call in a voice
mailbox message. When a station user enters the Record-A-Call feature code, the system places a call to the station’s assigned Record-A-Call application. When the application answers, the system sets up a conference call with the station’s Record-A-Call
mailbox. If programmed, the mailbox plays a greeting to indicate that the recording is
in progress.
•STAR: The Scheduled Time-Based Application Routing (STAR) enhances the pro-
grammability of the voice mail application greetings. With STAR, applications can be
programmed to play alternative greetings for holidays and weekends. A STAR application is a table of up to 20 entries, that serves as a “routing table” which tells the Voice
Processor which application will be used, based on day and time information in the
table. (The applications are programmed to play the greetings, not the STAR application. The STAR routes the call to the right application.)
•Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) Information Storage: SMDR informa-
tion can be stored on the Voice Processor’s hard disk and then processed using call
record sorting software, such as Inter-Tel’s Inside Track
VOICE MAIL NETWORKS
A Voice Processor can be installed on any or all nodes in the system network. These Voice Processors can also be networked together to allow a caller to leave a message on the local Voice
Processor for a mailbox located on another Voice Processor in the network.

PLACING THE SYSTEM IN NIGHT MODE
An administrator station can place the local node in day or night mode. The day/night mode
determines which lists the system will use for trunk access, toll restriction, etc.
Night mode also affects the night transfer relays on the Options Card (OPC). The relays are
activated when the system is placed in night mode. See SPECIFICATIONS in the Installation
Manual for details.

SYNCHRONIZING NETWORK TIME
Administrators can synchronize the minutes past the hour across the network without changing
the hour. This is useful when the nodes are in different time zones.
NOTE: If a node's time is off by more than 30 minutes, synchronizing the minutes may cause
the hour to change. Also, network time is automatically synchronized every day at 12:30 AM
(00:30), using the time setting on the node with the lowest number.
An administrator can synchronize the clocks in all nodes in the network using the following
procedure.

PROGRAMMING THE DATABASE USING AN ADMINISTRATOR’S STATION
Any administrator station can perform database programming using an Inter-Tel phone. However, it requires a display phone, and an Executive Display, Professional Display or Model
8560 Phone is strongly recommended.
NOTE: If using an analog phone, you will need to use the PREVIOUS/NEXT or UP/DOWN but-
tons in place of the Volume button in the instructions in this section.
The database areas that can be programmed by an administrator station include the following:
Station Programming:
•Create or delete Administrator stations
•Create or delete Attendant stations
•Create or delete House Phones
•Assign stations to Attendants
•Program usernames
•Program station toll restriction
System Option Programming:
•Program Do-Not-Disturb (DND) messages
•Program up to ten passwords for the Database Programming feature
•Trunk group answer access, ring-in, toll restrictions, and trunk lists

Entry to the Database Programming feature at the administrator station can be protected using
a password. A password would prevent unauthorized users from altering the system database.
NOTE: Passwords are very important to system security. Without sufficient password protec-
tion, the telephone system database is vulnerable to unauthorized access.
Depending on the database changes you make, the system may require a reset after programming. If so, the system will prompt you for a reset and ask if it should be done immediately or
delayed. Delaying the reset would prevent interruption in service. However, if a reset is
required it should be done as soon as possible to permit proper system operation.
NOTE: A system reset will drop all calls in progress.
Entering Alphanumeric Information:
When entering alphanumeric information, such as a username, reminder message, or Do-NotDisturb message, press or USE ALPHA MODE/USE NUMERIC MODE menu but-
MSG
ton to switch back and forth between alphanumeric and numeric mode.
•In numeric mode, the dialpad buttons are used to enter numbers 0-9, the pound ()
#
button is used for entering a hyphen (-), and the asterisk () button is used for entering
a colon (:). For example, 100 would enter “1:00” in numeric mode.
•In alphanumeric mode, dialpad buttons are used to enter the desired letters, numbers,
and punctuation. The number of times a button is pressed determines which character is
entered. For example, 533266 would enter “JEAN” in English. When adjoining charac-
ters are located under the same button, press to advance to the next character.
FWD
For example, 66
6667776 would enter “NORM.” Refer to the chart below to
program information in alphanumeric mode. (Note that letters correspond to the letters
printed on the dialpad buttons.) The Japanese characters will be available only if the
Multilingual Support premium feature is included in your software license, Japanese is
programmed as a Primary or Secondary Language, and the administrator’s station is set

System Programming
You can use your administrator station to program the following system-wide information:
•Define Do-Not-Disturb messages: The messages for the Do-Not-Disturb feature can
be reprogrammed through an administrator’s station. (See page 247 for information
concerning their use.) Administrators can delete or change messages 01-20 to any value
(up to 16 characters). When the system has a programmed Primary and Secondary Language, the system has default Do-Not-Disturb messages in both languages. (Available
languages are American English, British English, Spanish, and Japanese.) The current
language of the programming phone determines which list is programmed. (See
page 172 for a description of the Change Language feature.) The Secondary Language
translation has the same meaning as the Primary Language message. The default messages are:
01 DO-NOT-DISTURB11 OUT OF TOWN 'TIL
02 LEAVE A MESSAGE12 OUT OF OFFICE
03 IN MEETING UNTIL13 OUT UNTIL
04 IN MEETING14 WITH A CLIENT
05 ON VACATION 'TIL15 WITH A GUEST
06 ON VACATION16 UNAVAILABLE
07 CALL ME AT17 IN CONFERENCE
08 AT THE DOCTOR18 AWAY FROM DESK
09 ON A TRIP19 GONE HOME
10 ON BREAK20 OUT TO LUNCH
When two languages are enabled and DND messages are changed, the programmer
should attempt to keep the meanings for the messages in both lists the same. That is, if
the Primary Language message 02 is changed to “PAGE ME,” a similar message should
be programmed for the Secondary Language message 02.
•Select an administrator Database Programming password: Entry to the Database
Programming feature at the administrator stations can be protected using a password. A
password would prevent unauthorized users from altering the system database.
•Define reminder messages: System reminder messages can be changed using an
administrator’s station. (See page 258 for information about using reminder messages.)
The messages can have up to 16 characters each. When Primary and Secondary Languages are enabled, the system has default reminder messages in both languages. The
current language of the programming phone determines which list is programmed. (See
page 172 for a description of the Change Language feature.) Each Secondary Language
translation has the same meaning as the Primary Language message. The default messages are:
01 MEETING11 CALL ENGINEERING
02 STAFF MEETING12 CALL MARKETING
03 SALES MEETING13 CALL ACCOUNTING
04 CANCEL MEETING14 CANCEL DND
05 APPOINTMENT15 CANCEL CALL FWD
06 PLACE CALL16 TAKE MEDICATION

ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004
When two languages are enabled and reminder messages are changed, the programmer
should attempt to keep the meanings for the messages in both lists the same. That is, if
the Primary Language message 02 is changed to “GO TO AIRPORT,” a similar message should be programmed for the Secondary Language message 02.
•Program new extension numbers for stations: The extension number for any station
can be changed by an administrator. The new extension number cannot conflict with an
existing number.
•Swap extensions: An extension number can be relocated (swapped) to another station.
To swap extensions, the two affected stations must meet the following criteria:
— Both devices must reside on the same node as the administrator who performing
the swap.
— Both devices must be the same type (i.e., both digital phones or both single-line
sets).
— Neither device can be the administrator phone performing the swap.
The System-Wide Database Programming process is summarized in the flowchart shown on
page 23. See page 65 for a Program Planning Sheet.
If necessary, you can press or the Speaker button to cancel programming and discard any
unsaved changes, at any time during the following procedure.

Trunk Programming
The trunk information that can be programmed by an administrator station includes the following:
Individual trunks:
•Answer supervision type: Answer supervision determines whether the system should
consider a call valid when it receives polarity reversal from the central office or wait for
the Valid Call timer to expire. Any outside call put on hold becomes valid immediately,
regardless of Answer Supervision or Valid Call timer status. There are three options
available under answer supervision type:
— Polarity Reversal: A loop reversal must be received to consider the call valid.
— Valid Call Timer: After the Valid Call Timer expires, the call is validated. All
— Valid Call Timer with Polarity Reversal: If a loop reversal is received before the
When the first loop reversal is received, the call is made valid immediately, and the
Inter-Tel phone display will begin call cost. When a second loop reversal is
received, the system will terminate the call.
NOTE: If a second loop reversal is not received, the system will not terminate the
call unless the inside party hangs up or loss-of-loop is received from the Telephone
company.
polarity reversals received before and after the Valid Call Timer are ignored.
Valid Call Timer expires, the call will be made valid immediately, and the Inter-Tel
phone display will begin call cost. When a second loop reversal is received, the
system will terminate the call. If a loop reversal is not received before the Valid
Call Timer expires, the call will be made valid by the timer. If a loop reversal is
received after the timer expires, the loop reversal is ignored, but the call cost is
reset. If a second loop reversal is then received, the system will terminate the call.
NOTE: If a second loop reversal is not received, the system will not terminate the
call unless the inside party hangs up or loss-of-loop is received from the Telephone
company.
•Caller ID: When selected, the Caller ID option indicates that the associated trunk will
provide caller identification signals. This cannot be programmed unless the Advanced
CO Interfaces premium feature is included in your software license.
•Hybrid balance: Hybrid balance can be set to Normal or Short to allow the installer to
adjust the hybrid impedance of the trunk based on local central office conditions.
— Short: The short balance is used when trunks are supplied by other equipment
located within the same building, using private, copper wire termination (e.g., an
OPX supplied by another PBX that does not use the public network) or when the
site is located close to the central office.
— Normal: The normal balance can be used by most trunks.
•DTMF or dial-pulse signaling: Trunks can be set for DTMF or dial pulse signals.
•Trunk group assignment: Trunks can be assigned to trunk groups on an individual
basis.
•Busy trunk: This feature allows you to temporarily remove a trunk from service. While
the trunk is out of service, it cannot be used for placing outgoing calls. However,
incoming calls on analog trunks will ring in and can be answered. Incoming calls on
ISDN trunks cannot be answered. The trunk will remain out of service until the Trunk
Busy Out timer expires or you place the trunk back in service.

PROGRAMMING AND USING DSS/BLF BUTTONS
Direct Station Selection/Busy Lamp Field (DSS/BLF) buttons (located on a DSS/BLF unit,
Mini-DSS unit, or an Inter-Tel phone) provide one-button access to extension numbers. If the
button is equipped with a lamp, you can visually monitor the status of the associated extension.
DSS/BLF buttons are not available on single-line sets.
NOTE: You can program a DSS button for an off-node device, but not for “wildcard” off-node
extensions.
Together, the lamps in the buttons create a busy lamp field that indicates the status of the
resource (e.g., station, trunk, hunt group, or feature) assigned to the buttons. The table shown
below explains what DSS lamps indicate about the associated resource.
IF THE LAMP IS...THEN...
Solidly LitThe associated resource is busy or all stations in the associated hunt group
are unavailable (in Do-Not-Disturb, busy, or with hunt group remove enabled).
Or, the associated feature is enabled.
Slow FlashThe associated resource is in Do-Not-Disturb.
Fast FlashThe associated resource has a call ringing in or a call is camped on to the
hunt group. (This option is programmable. If DSS ring flash is disabled, a call
ringing in to a station will show a solidly lit lamp.)
Continuous FlutterThe associated resource is causing a STATION OFF-HOOK system alarm.
In Database Programming, DSS/BLF buttons may also be programmed for direct access to
other resources (such as paging zones) or they can be assigned feature codes (see page 167).
Busy lamp indication is provided to show the idle/busy status of the resource or feature.
NOTE: Programming a DSS button as a resource does not always provide a transfer capability.
For example, a DSS button programmed for paging will not transfer a party to the paging system.

MANAGING SYSTEM AND NETWORK ALARMS
To allow one administrator to monitor multiple nodes, the system provides both system alarms
and network-wide alarms.
System Alarms
The system’s Alarm Reporting feature detects equipment failures. If there is a system failure
that affects service, a major alarm is displayed at all affected phones. If all Inter-Tel phones in
the system are inoperative, any alarm messages are sent to the system’s primary serial port (on
the CPU).
When a minor equipment failure occurs, a minor alarm is generated and appears on the primary attendant’s display and, if enabled, at administrators’ stations. If enabled in the Message
Print programming, the alarm also appears in the error/message report.
Alarms 1-99 indicate problems that can be corrected without calling service personnel. Alarms
100-199 (telephone system) and 200-299 (voice mail) require attention from service personnel.
Note that when a voice mail alarm is in effect, the telephone system may be functioning properly, but the Voice Processor may be inoperative.
Network Alarms
Each node has two flags which determine whether the node broadcasts or receives networkwide alarms.
Administrator Procedures
ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004
•The Send Network Alarms flag determines whether a node will broadcast alarms that
occur on that node to the rest of the network.
•The Receive Network Alarms flag determines whether the node will receive and dis-
play alarms sent by other nodes in the network.
To differentiate between network-wide and local alarms, network-wide alarms appear on
administrator phones preceded by “NET ALARM,” and local system alarms are preceded with
“SYS ALARM.” Network-wide alarms will override system alarms on an administrator’s
phone display.
On remote nodes, network-wide alarms will indicate the name of the node on which the alarm
occurred. The node name is obtained from the username.

The IP Network does not have enough bandwidth to support the IP call that is currently connected to the extension. If this alarm is generated frequently, it could indicate a network problem that requires the attention of your network administrator.
Make sure the affected device is not behind a firewall or NAT.

A major alarm message, MAJOR ALARM, appears on all display phones in the event of a system-wide failure. If the major alarm appears on a group of phones, the associated Keyset Card
may have failed. The warning might also appear on a single phone if the phone or its cabling
may be defective. Because they indicate that all or part of the system is inoperative, major
alarms require immediate attention from service personnel.
Network Alarms
Administrator Procedures

Clearing Alarms
An administrator can clear a network-wide alarm on the local node only or on every node in
the network. To clear an alarm, you can use either the administrator feature codes or the menu
buttons on your phone.
T
OUSETHEFEATURECODESTOCLEARALARMS:
Enter the appropriate feature code to clear the alarm. The clear alarms feature codes are as follows:
ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004
•Clear Network Alarm (9851): This feature code clears network-wide alarms on every
node in the network, but will not affect system alarms. The Clear Network Alarm feature code may be entered on any node in the network, but the Send Network Alarms
flag must be set for you to clear alarms on other nodes in the network.
•Clear System Alarm (9850): This feature code clears all local and network-wide sys-
tem alarm displays on your node.
After you enter the feature code, the display shows SYSTEM (or NETWORK) ALARM
CLEARED, and the highest priority alarm is cleared. If another alarm is active, the display
shows that alarm. Enter the feature code again to clear the next alarm in the queue (only one
alarm is cleared at a time). When all alarms are cleared next highest priority alarm is displayed.
OUSEMENUBUTTONSTOCLEARALARMS:
T
•EITHER, Press CLEAR ALARM to clear the currently displayed alarm. The display
shows SYSTEM (or NETWORK) ALARM CLEARED, and the next highest priority
alarm is displayed. If there are no more alarms, the display shows the idle menu.
•OR, Press CLEAR ALL ALARMS to clear all alarms. The display shows ALL
ALARMS CLEARED, and the idle menu is shown.
NOTE: You can press IDLE MENU at any time to view the idle menu instead of the
clear alarm menu.
Alarm Queue
Software versions 8.2 and later support the Alarm Queue feature. This feature prioritizes system and network alarms based on severity and allows system administrators to view and handle critical alarms before addressing minor alarms. You can then clear the individual alarm, or
clear all the alarms in the queue (up to 30). When clearing alarms individually, the alarms are
displayed in order of severity. The Emergency Alarm (when an extension has dialed emergency services) is the only priority 1 alarm. Other prioritized alarms have a 2, 3, or 4 priority,
based on the severity of the alarm.
Clearing Alarms
Not all alarms have a number 1,2, 3, or 4 priority. The numbered priority scheme is limited to
alarms that can cause a major or minor system reset. Those alarms in the Alarm Queue that
have a numbered priority (1-4) are displayed before the alarms that do not receive a numbered
priority. Alarms that do not have a numbered priority are prioritized in the queue by date and
time.
Page 39
Administrator Procedures
®
AXXESS
ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004
When alarms are generated:
•The highest priority alarm is placed in the front of the queue, regardless of when lower
priority alarms are generated. For example, if A114 (priority 3) and A116 (priority 4)
are currently in the queue, but A119 (priority 2) is generated, A119 is placed first in the
queue.
•Alarms with the same priority level are placed in the queue based on the time the alarm
was generated. For example, if A010 (priority 3) is generated at 10:30 AM, and A012
(priority 3) is generated at 10:32 AM, A012 is placed in the queue after A010.
•If the queue contains 30 alarms, the oldest, lowest priority alarm is overwritten with the
new alarm. For example, if the queue currently holds 30 alarms, 20 of which are priority 4, and a priority 3 alarm is generated, the oldest priority 4 alarm is overwritten.
•Repetitive alarms such as A125, are placed in the queue only once. If the alarm is
regenerated, the alarm that is currently in the queue is overwritten with the new alarm
data (if applicable) and time. For example, A125 is overwritten each time it is regenerated, which is every five minutes. This prevents the queue from being filled with duplicate alarms.
The following table shows which alarms have a numbered priority.
Networked systems containing nodes that are running version 8.1 or earlier require special
attention because not all nodes will have an alarm queue. In networks such as this, a broadcast
message is sent only when the most recent network alarm is cleared. When the message is sent,
that network alarm is cleared on all nodes in the system. Once the alarm is cleared, any pre-8.2
nodes will not show any other alarms because these nodes do not have a queue to store alarms.
8.2 or later nodes, however, may still have additional alarms in the queue. When this happens,
each 8.2 node must manually clear the other network alarms.
For example, suppose you have a three-node network: node 1 running 8.0; node 2 running 8.2;
and node 3 running 8.2. Node 1 then generates two network alarms, one immediately after the
other. At this point, node 1 shows one network alarm (the latest) and nodes 2 and 3 show two
network alarms. Node 1 then clears the alarm, and a broadcast message is sent. Node 1 now
shows no alarms, but nodes 2 and 3 still show the first alarm. Node 2 then clears the first
alarm, but a broadcast message is NOT sent. Now nodes 1 and 2 show no alarms, but node 3
still has one in the queue. This alarm will stay in the queue until node 3 clears it or until the
alarm is overwritten as previously described.

ENABLING/DISABLING THE CALL PROCESSING CARD MODEM
The Call Processing Card (CPC), available in versions 8.0 and later, has a built-in modem that
can be used for a number of functions. Once the modem has been enabled, it can be used for
Database Programming, Message Print, and SMDR and for uploading the system software
license.
If disabled, the modem and extension is placed into DND. In DND, the modem rejects all calls
and does not allow camp ons. Any outside calls that attempt to ring a disabled modem are
automatically transferred to the Primary Attendant.
T
OENABLE/DISABLEAMODEM:
NOTE: Programming off-node modems across an IPRC connection is not supported.
1.While on hook, enter the Modem Enable (9866) or Modem Disable (9867) feature code.
The display shows ENABLE (DISABLE) MODEM EXT #.
2.Enter the extension of the modem (local or off-node) to enable/disable. The display
shows MODEM ENABLED (DISABLED).
NOTE: If an invalid modem extension is entered, the display shows INVALID MODEM
EXTENSION.
ASSIGNING THE CPC MODEM TO A DSS/BLF BUTTON
To easily monitor the CPC modem, it is recommended that you program a Direct Station Selection/Busy Lamp Field (DSS/BLF) button to reflect the modem’s status (see page 34). When
programmed for a local or off-node CPC modem, the DSS/BLF button indicates the following
states:
•Unlit: Modem is not active.
•Fast Flash: Modem is ringing.
•Slow Flash: Modem is disabled.
•Solid: Modem is connected to a call.

RESETTING THE CALL PROCESSING CARD MODEM
Do not reset the modem if it is connected to a Database Programming session. If you do,
the programming session is dropped, potentially corrupting the database. For this reason,
Inter-Tel strongly recommends that you assign the modem extension to a DSS/BLF button.
Occasionally the CPC modem will need to be reset if it is unable to answer an incoming call or
out of sync with the external modem.

CAUTION
USING THE NETWORK GROUP DIAGNOSTICS FEATURE
NOTE: The Network Group diagnostics feature works on Inter-Tel proprietary IP devices for the
local node only. It does not work across nodes.
Version 8.1 supports a Network Group Diagnostics feature that allows an administrator to verify that the Network Groups are programmed properly. When the Network Group Diagnostics
feature code is entered, the phone system initiates pings from each Inter-Tel IP device and
determines if the other devices respond to the ping. If a device does not respond to the ping or
if a firewall is detected, the system issues a Message Print message (see page 265). It is recommended that you enable a port for Message Print before you run this diagnostics feature.
NOTE: Because this feature affects system performance, it is recommended that you run the
diagnostics program when the system is idle (i.e., after normal business hours).
TORUNTHE NETWORK GROUP DIAGNOSTICS:
1.While on hook, enter the Diagnostics Mode feature code (9900) to turn on diagnostics
mode. The display shows DIAGNOSTICS ON.

SEIZING A DEVICE
For troubleshooting purposes, the Seize Device feature code allows an administrator to enable
diagnostics mode and then seize a specific trunk or extension by entering the board, circuit,
and device number.
The Seize Device is affected by trunk restriction. The administrator’s station must have outgoing access permission for the trunk to seize it. Toll restriction is applied to any calls placed
after the seizure of the trunk.

are assigned to freeze zones by the database programmer to allow selective freezes. You must
know which zone to freeze/unfreeze and then enter the freeze feature code followed by the
zone number.
A node can be in more than one freeze zone. If you freeze a zone that contains a node that is
already frozen, the display will show “SOME NODES ALREADY FROZEN” and the node
will remain frozen. If you unfreeze a zone with unfrozen nodes in it, the display shows “SOME

Using the system administrator’s mailbox, you may provide basic voice mail mailbox and
group list system maintenance. This maintenance includes the following:
•Record the name of a standard mailbox, extension ID, or a group list
•Record the mailbox greeting and set personal options for a mailbox
•Set the password for a mailbox or extension ID
NOTE: To provide system security, all mailboxes and extension IDs should have a password.
To make the passwords difficult to guess, they should not match the mailbox number or consist
of one digit repeated several times. This is especially important in the system administrator's
mailbox which allows programming access to the other mailboxes.

CREATING AUDIOTEX RECORDINGS
The voice mail administrator can create and select up to 500 custom audiotex recordings (voice
mail company greetings, auto attendant greetings, call routing announcements, and hunt group
announcement/overflow recordings). Each recording has an assigned number. Numbers are
then assigned to specific applications using the system administrator’s mailbox or through
Database Programming.
Any recording number (001-500) can be assigned to any Voice Processor application. In the
default state, Recording 001 is automatically defaulted to play the system-provided voice mail
main greeting, and Recording 002 is the Automated Attendant main greeting. The default
recordings can be changed, but will be returned to system-provided values if the Voice Processor is defaulted. A single recording may be used for multiple applications.
After making the required recordings, the system administrator must determine which ones
play during the telephone system’s day and night modes of operation. This can be done from
either the system administrator’s mailbox or through Database Programming.
The system administrator must enter a valid three-digit recording number (or a single digit followed by for recordings 1-9) before a custom audiotex recording can be made. If a valid
number has been entered and a previous recording exists, the Voice Processor will play it.
(This includes the two standard default greetings.) When no recording is associated with a
recording number, the system administrator will be prompted to create a recording.
#
Once the recording is installed, it replaces any previous recording. The only recordings that
can be retrieved are system default recordings 001 and 002. They can be retrieved by defaulting the Voice Processor database.
The maximum recording time for each custom audiotex recording is determined in Database
Programming when the maximum greeting lengths are established for all mailbox owners.
In Database Programming, several greetings can be linked together for one application and/or
use the special UCD/ACD hunt group characters that tell the caller how many calls are ahead
and how long the wait will be. If you use the system administrator’s mailbox to record or
assign a recording to an application with a list of several recordings, your input will change
only the first entry in the list. You cannot change the other entries using the system administrator’s mailbox.

SYSTEM PROGRAMMING: Record the following system-wide information:
The Inter-Tel hardware houses the system power supply unit and the circuit cards. Together,
the circuit cards in the phone system’s cabinet perform the switching activities for the system,
detect incoming calls, process data-controlled features, and control the interaction of station
instruments, trunks, intercom calls, and Voice Processor applications.
The basic cabinet has slots for up to seven circuit cards. For increased port capacity, two, three,
or four basic cabinets may be connected together to form one expanded cabinet. For maximum
capacity, up to four dual-cabinet systems can be connected via an Asynchronous Transfer
Mode (ATM) Switch, creating an eight-cabinet system.
The actual number of phones and lines available depends on the number and type of cards and
stations installed on the system. For example, there could be as many as 512 outside lines, 448
Inter-Tel phones, or 512 single-line sets, depending on the circuit card configuration.
The circuitry and software in the basic cabinet combine to produce an “integrated switching
matrix” of 128 time slots (voice channels). A quad-cabinet system has 512 time slots.
With system software version 5.0 (and later), you can connect two or more systems to form a
network that provides a seamless interface between the systems. To the user, the network
appears as though it is one integrated system. With few exceptions, the user can perform all of
the functions across the network that can be performed on a single system.
ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004
Standard system hardware features include:
•A Central Processing Unit (CPU) Card for storing the system software programs, the
customer’s database, and call processing history files.

error occurrences, minor system alarms, and database back-up battery connection.
•External ports for connecting a personal computer (PC) or modem to program the sys-
tem database and/or for connecting output devices for the Station Message Detail
Recording (SMDR) and programming reports. Ports are also provided for the Voice
Processor interface.
•Database back-up battery for preserving the system database in the event of a power
failure.
•Reset switch to manually reset the system during troubleshooting.
•Easily accessible voltage test points for checking the system operating voltages.
•Relays for connecting power failure transfer equipment.

STATION INSTRUMENTS
To allow system flexibility and cost efficiency, a variety of Inter-Tel and industry-standard
third-party station instruments can be used on the Inter-Tel phone system. These include:
•Model 8000 Digital Phones (8560, 8520, 8500)
•Digital Display Phones (Executive, Professional, Standard, and Associate)
•Digital Non-Display Phones (Axxess Basic, and Eclipse
2™
Basic)
•AIM Analog Phones (8-, 12-, and 24-Line)
•Inter-Tel/DVK Analog Phones (8-, 12-, and 24-Line)
•GMX Analog Phones (12-, and 24-Line)
•IMX Analog Phones (8-, 12-, and 24-Line)
•IDS Phones (Model Numbers 160, 64, 32, 18, and 12, and Agent Terminals)
•Wave Phones (29- and 17-Button)
•Single-Line Sets
•DSS/BLF Units – single or tandem (60-,50-, and 48-Button)
•Mini-DSS Units (Available for Model 8560 and 8520 Phones Only)
•IP/SIP Endpoints (Model 8690, Model 8662, Model 8620, Model 8600, Model 8660,
Model 8664, Model 8665, Model 8601, IP Phone Plus, IP Single-Line Adapter (IP
SLA), IP SoftPhone, and Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) endpoints)
System software will support any configuration of station instruments with the limitation that
there must be a minimum of one Keyset Card. The actual configuration is defined by the type
of cards and the number of circuits in use on the system. The following list explains the function of the various Keyset Cards.
for connecting digital display and non-display phones. Digital Keyset Card circuits can
be equipped with a Single-Line Adapter (SLA) and programmed to support two singleline sets (instead of an Inter-Tel phone).
•Analog Keyset Card (AKSC)/Executone Keyset Card (EKSC): Provides up to 12
circuits for connecting GMX and IMX Analog phones, Executone IDS phones, and
Executone Wave phones and devices to the system.
•Single-Line Card (SLC, SLC-16, or SLC-16+): Provides eight or 16 circuits for con-
necting on-premises AC ringing single-line DTMF sets and playback devices. The
SLC-16+ is available for software versions 8.2 and later.
•Internet Protocol Card (IPC): Supports up to eight IP SoftPhone devices. The IPC
provides the functionality that is required to make phone calls through the IP network
using the telephone system.
•Internet Protocol Resource Card (IPRC): Supports up to 32 (V8.1 and later) IP/SIP
devices. The 32-device IPRC provides the functionality that is required to make phone
calls through the IP network using the telephone system. Thee 32-device IPRC cannot
be installed behind a firewall or Network Address Translation (NAT).
Station Instruments
INTER-TEL PHONES
The features supported by Inter-Tel digital and analog phones are described in the following
paragraphs.
NOTE: Throughout this guide, the term “Inter-Tel phone” refers to the full-feature phones man-
ufactured and sold by Inter-Tel. The term does not apply to industry-standard single-line, dualtone multi-frequency sets.
Model 8000 Digital Phones, Standard Display Phone, Associate Display Phone
and Basic Digital Phone Speakerphones
The following display and non-display digital phones have a built-in speaker and microphone
that allow the user to answer intercom calls handsfree, dial while on hook, monitor calls, and
listen to background music.
•Model 8000 Digital Phones (8560, 8520, and 8500)
•Standard Display Phone
AXXESS

ADMINISTRATOR’S GUIDE – January 2004
•Associate Display Phone
•Axxess Basic Digital Phone
•Eclipse Basic Digital Phone
These phones can be programmed in individual station programming to be allowed to use system resources for standard and enhanced speakerphones. Enhanced mode allows for fullduplex operation over a limited volume range (the range depends on trunk characteristics, typically the range is 1-3). Enhanced speakerphones are explained below.
If a user presses the Speaker button while on hook, the standard switched speakerphone function is activated and the speakerphone resource is assigned to that phone for the length of the
call. If a user requests the speakerphone function when speakerphone resources are not available, the user will hear reorder tones, and the display will show NO SPKRPHN AVAIL STAY
OFF HOOK.
If the user attempts to change to the speakerphone and hangs up during a call when speakerphones are unavailable, the user will be forced into a monitor-only mode. The user will be able
to hear the other party but will not be allowed to transmit to them. In this mode, the user’s
MUTE
button will be lit, and the display shows NO SPKRPHN AVAIL COME OFF HOOK.
Pressing the lit button will result in a burst of reorder tone; you must lift the handset to
speak.
MUTE
Inter-Tel Phones
NOTE: On certain handsfree-to-handsfree intercom calls, voice volume levels may cause feed-
back to occur. If this happens; one station user should pick up the handset. Two Display Phones
cannot be in enhanced mode while on a call together; one phone must be off hook to allow the
other phone to enter enhanced speakerphone mode. If both phones are on hook, there is no
benefit to having one phone in enhanced mode.

Executive and Professional Display Phone Speakerphones
Each Executive and Professional Display Phone has a built-in, integrated speakerphone that
allows on-hook dialing and handsfree operation on outside calls and inside (intercom) calls.
The speakerphone can be used in standard mode or in enhanced mode which allows for fullduplex operation over a limited volume range (the range depends on trunk characteristics, typically the range is 1-3). Enhanced speakerphones are explained on the next page.
The Executive and Professional’s speaker can also provide background music (if an external
music source is installed) and is used to receive pages.
A programming option can be used to disable the phone’s speakerphone capabilities. Or, the
user can disable the speakerphone for intercom calls using the Handsfree On/Off and/or Ring
Intercom Always On/Off feature code.
NOTE: On certain handsfree-to-handsfree intercom calls, voice volume levels may cause feed-
back to occur. If this happens; one station user should pick up the handset. Two Display Phones
cannot be in enhanced mode while on a call together; one phone must be off hook to allow the
other phone to enter enhanced speakerphone mode. If both phones are on hook, there is no
benefit to having one phone in enhanced mode.
Enhanced Speakerphones for Digital Phones
The following display and non-display digital phones have enhanced speakerphone capabilities:
•Model 8000 Series Phones (8560, 8520, and 8500)
•Executive, Professional, Standard, and Associate Display Phones
•Axxess and Eclipse Basic Digital Phones
To use an enhanced speakerphone on a Digital Phone, the user establishes a call and presses
(the Special button) and then the Speaker button (or presses and enters the
∞∞
Enhanced Speakerphone feature code – 310). There will be about one second of white noise at
this point. (Both parties should avoid speaking during this white noise.) This white noise is
used to calibrate the echo-canceling circuitry. After the white noise, there will be a confirmation tone that both parties will hear (except for Executive Display and Professional Display
Phone users who will hear the tone, but the other party will not). Then the user will be connected in an enhanced handsfree call. If the speakerphone cannot be calibrated correctly, due to
trunk conditions, the enhanced speakerphone will not be enabled and the display will show
CANNOT ENABLE ENHANCED MODE.
NOTE: It is normal for an outside party to hear a minimal amount of his or her own echo when
speaking to a Digital Phone in enhanced speakerphone mode. This is usually acceptable to
most callers on local calls and on most long-distance calls. However, on some T1 and long-distance calls involving significant delays (for example, cross-country T1 calls, overseas calls or
calls via satellite), the amount of echo may be objectionable, and the enhanced speakerphone
mode should not be used on these types of long-distance calls.
Page 76
If an enhanced speakerphone call is placed on hold and then taken off hold on an Executive or
Professional Display Phone, it remains an enhanced speakerphone call. For all other digital
phones, if the call is placed on hold, the call is returned to standard speakerphone mode.
A station can only have one enhanced speakerphone call. For example, if an Executive or Professional Display Phone user makes an enhanced speakerphone call, puts it on hold, and establishes another enhanced speakerphone call, the first call will be turned back into a standard
speakerphone call.

A digital phone user can set up a conference and then, once it is established, presses the
(Special button) and Speaker (or presses and enter the Enhanced Speakerphone
∞∞
feature code – 310) to have an enhanced speakerphone call in the conference.
Analog, IDS, and Wave Phone Speakerphones
NOTE: The volume adjustment range of non-AIM and non-DVK analog phones may not be
suitable in all user environments. In such cases, Inter-Tel recommends using AIM and/or DVK
phones, if possible.
Every Analog, IDS, and Wave Phone station has a built-in, integrated speakerphone that allows
the user to dial while on hook and allows handsfree operation on outside calls and inside (intercom) calls. In addition, the speaker may provide background music (if an external music
source is installed) and is used to receive pages. Analog, IDS, and Wave Phones cannot use the
shared speakerphone resources or the Enhanced Speakerphone option that is provided for the
digital display and non-display phones.
NOTE: IDS Model 12 and Agent Terminal Phone have only a speaker. They do not have a
microphone.
The speakerphone can be disabled with the Handsfree Answering feature (see page 176). If the
handsfree option is enabled, the speakerphone can still be used for receiving handsfree intercom calls, but the user must lift the handset to speak when placing intercom calls and when
placing or receiving outside calls. The button is lit when the speaker is activated for
MUTE
outside calls or outgoing intercom calls. Call monitoring and on-hook dialing are not affected.
NOTE: On certain handsfree-to-handsfree intercom calls, voice volume levels may cause feed-
back to occur. If this happens, one user should pick up the handset.

Six-Line Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
All Model 8560, Executive, and Professional Display Phones have a six-line LCD. Each line
has 16 characters. (A picture of the Model 8560 display is shown in the Figure below. A picture of the Executive display is shown on the following page.) The top two lines are for standard call information and show the same displays as other display phones. The remaining four
lines are used for displaying feature-related menus that change with the function being performed by the phone (intercom call, outside call, programming, etc.). These lines have menu
selection buttons on both sides (eight buttons) that are used for menu features. When there are
two prompts on a line, like PREVIOUS and NEXT, the button next to the word is the one that
will select that feature. When there is only one prompt on a line, like DO NOT DISTURB,
then pressing the button on either side of the prompt will select it.
NOTE: Version 7.0 or later system software is required to support the menu display and but-
tons on the Model 8560.
There is a system-wide flag, called “Alternate Keyset Menu Displays,” that determines the display that Model 8560,
Executive, and Professional Phone users
will see during an outside call. In the

LCD WITH SIX 16-CHARACTER LINES
Two-Line LCD
The Model 8520, Standard, and Associate Display Phones have a two-line Liquid Crystal Display that supports 16-characters per line.
When the phone is not in use, the LCD shows the station extension number, username, time of
day, and date. Other displays include reminder messages, Do-Not-Disturb messages, numbers
dialed, call sources, elapsed time of calls, current call costs, error messages, station status, programming messages, etc. The displayed information is described throughout the instructions in
this section of the manual.
8 LCD MENU SELECTION KEYS
Older Inter-Tel phone types are available in a standard or display model. The non-display
phones can be converted to display phones by installing LCD Units (refer to REPLACEMENT
PARTS for unit part numbers). Installation instructions are in the INSTALLATION section of
the manual.
NOTE: Most Analog, IDS, and Wave phones also have an LCD display that supports 16 char-
acters per line.
LCD Contrast Adjustment
The contrast for the Model 8000 Series Display Phones is adjustable. There are eight different
contrast levels available. The LCD Contrast Control feature is supported on software versions
7.0 and later.

Node and Circuit Number on Power-Up
To aid in installation and troubleshooting procedures, display phones show their station identification for five seconds when power is turned on, when the system is reset, or when the phone
line cord is first plugged in (or removed and replaced). The extension number and assigned
username appear on the top line of the display, and the node number and circuit number
appears on the bottom line (for example, circuit 1.1.1 on node 2 would appear as 2:1.1.1).
After the five-second identification display, the phone returns to the appropriate display,
depending on its current status.
Keymaps
A keymap group determines the layout of the buttons for all the stations assigned to that group.
If any of the buttons in the keymap group are user-programmable or undefined, they can be
changed by the station user. There can be up to 250 different phone keymap groups. Each node
contains its own keymap programming. (There are also 20 maps for DSS/BLF Units.)
Each Inter-Tel phone is assigned a standard keymap and can also have an alternate keymap.
See page 169 for information about switching between standard and alternate keymaps.
When the system is in the default state all phones are assigned to the default Keyset Keymap
01. There are no individual pre-programmed keymaps for each of the specific phone types.
(Previous software had an Executive/Standard map and a Basic map. If you convert from a previous version to the current version, those keymaps will be preserved. However, in the current
software, the default Speaker, , and buttons are not programmable.)
MSGMUTE
NOTE: The Model 8560, 8520, and 8500 Phones have more buttons and lamps than the Exec-
utive Display, Standard Display, and Basic Digital Phones. If running system version 6.0 or earlier software, the additional buttons and lamps will not operate. To use the buttons and lamps,
version 7.0 or later software is required. Contact your local Inter-Tel dealer for upgrade information.
As part of the installation procedure, the installer must make sure the phone buttons are labeled
to match their functions.

The buttons in each keymap can be assigned the following functions:
•Accept Key: (This button type is not required for Digital Phones. It is intended for
Analog Phone use.) This button is used to accept an entry when using numeric mode.
(Digital Phones use the Volume button, by pressing both arrows at once.)
•Cancel Key: No further programming is necessary. This button will be used to cancel a
feature or cancel an entry when in numeric mode.
•Call Key: Up to 10 Call buttons can be assigned in each keymap. These buttons are
used for call access. They are not associated with specific trunks. Instead, they are
assigned to calls in the order that the calls are placed or received. In the following
example, the user has three Call buttons.
ACTIONCALL KEY 1CALL KEY 2CALL KEY 3

If there are more calls in progress than there are Call buttons (e.g., if another call rings
in to the phone in the example), the new call will not have an available call button and
will camp on to the station until a Call button becomes available; it will then appear
under the available button. Pressing an idle Call button will enter the programmed Out-
going Call feature for that station. If there is no button programmed in the key-
IC
map, intercom calls will appear under Call buttons.
NOTE: All keymaps should have at least one Call button if there is not an individual
trunk button for every trunk.
•Down Key: (This button type is not required for Digital Phones. It is intended for Ana-
log Phone use.) No further programming is necessary. This button can be used scrolling
backward through displays. When the phone is idle, it can be used for adjusting volume,
in place of the Volume button. (Digital Phones use the Volume button.)
•DSS/BLF Key: A DSS/BLF button will dial the associated extension number when
pressed. If assigned to a button with a lamp, it will also show the status of the associated station, as described for DSS/BLF Units on page 34. DSS/BLF buttons cannot be
changed by the station user.
•Feature Key: These are programmed with feature codes. The feature code appears in
the same button location on all stations assigned to the keymap and cannot be changed
by the phone user.
Inter-Tel Phones
•Forward Key: The forward button can be programmed with any of the Call Forward-
ing feature codes. The forwarding code used by the button can be changed by the phone
user.
•Hunt Group Key: Like a DSS/BLF button, this button dials a hunt group pilot number
when pressed and, if assigned to a button with a lamp, will show the status of that hunt
group.

•Individual Trunk Key: This button is associated with one trunk. It can be used for
placing outgoing calls, and for picking up calls on hold and answering incoming calls
on that trunk.
•Intercom (IC) Key: The button allows access to intercom channels for placing
and answering calls. If an button is not assigned, an intercom call will appear
under a Call button.

•Next Key: (This button type is not required for Digital Phones. It is intended for Ana-
log Phone use.) This button is used for scrolling forward through displays. (Digital
Phones use the Volume button.)
•Page Zone Key: A page zone button is programmed with one of the page access codes
(9600-9609 or 9600-9649 depending on the software version) for quick access to page
zones (0-9 or 0-49 respectively).
•Previous Key: (This button type is not required for Digital Phones. It is intended for
Analog Phone use.) This button is used for scrolling backward through displays. (Digi-
tal Phones use the Volume button.)
•Programmable Key: Up to 35 user-programmable buttons can be designated and given
default values in the keymap database. They can then be reprogrammed to enter any of
the trunk group access codes, extension numbers, or feature codes by the individual
phone users as desired. Or, they can be programmed as system or station speed-dial
bins, or as secondary extension buttons (see below). The phone user or programmer can
return the buttons to default values at any time.
•Save Key: (This button type is not required for Digital Phones. It is intended for Ana-
log Phone use.) This button is used for saving volume levels or programmed phone fea-
tures. (Digital Phones use the Volume button, by pressing both ends at once.)
•Secondary Extension Key: This type of button allows a station user to have one-button
access to calls ringing or holding at another station. It should be assigned to a button
with a lamp so that the secondary extension button can show the call status. If desired, a
station can have several secondary extension buttons, each associated with a different
station. For details, see page 85.
•SPKR Key: This button is used for turning the phone speaker or headset on and off.
•Speed-Dial Keys: Each keymap can have up to 10 speed-dial buttons. Each speed-dial
button can be programmed by the phone user to dial one digit string. If assigned to a
button with a lamp, the lamp will show the status of an extension number if it is associated with that button.
•Trunk Group Key: These buttons are associated with specific trunk group access
codes and are used for placing outgoing calls on trunks in the selected trunk group. If
assigned to a button with a lamp, the lamp will be lit if all trunks in the trunk group are
in use.

•Undefined Key: Any button can be left undefined if it will not be needed. It can be
programmed, like a user-programmable button, as described above. If the phone user or
programmer returns the phone to default values, the button will return to being “undefined.”
•Up Key: (This button type is not required for Digital Phones. It is intended for Analog
Phone use.) No further programming is necessary. This button can be used for scrolling
forward through displays. When the phone is idle, it can be used for adjusting volume,
in place of the Volume button. (Digital Phones use the Volume button.)
NOTE: The volume adjustment button on the Digital Phones also can be used for
scrolling through displays. However, the Analog Phone volume buttons are used only
for adjusting volume; Analog Phones need to have Previous and Next buttons programmed in their keymaps to scroll through displays. They also need an Accept button
to accept entries when in numeric programming mode.
