ABOUT YOUR PHONE
NOTE: The Model 8660 IP Phone is very similar to the Model 8560 Display Phone.
Because they are so similar, the information in this user guide applies to both phones
unless otherwise indicated. For IP Phone exceptions, see page 7.
The buttons on your phone are called “keys,” which is why the phone is sometimes
called a “Keyset.” Your phone has three basic types of keys.
•Keypad keys: Allow you to enter numbers and letters.
•Feature keys: Provide quick access to various phone and voice mail features.
•Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Menu Keys: Allow you to scroll through dis-
plays and make selections based on the active feature.

DSS/BLF and Mini-DSS
Generally, the Model 8450 Direct Station Selection/Busy Lamp Field (DSS/BLF) unit
is used by individuals that handle a high volume of incoming calls, such as receptionists. The DSS/BLF provides one-key access to up to 50 extension numbers or a programmable feature. For more information about programming and using the DSS,
refer to the current Axxess Administrator’s Guide (part no. 550.8001).
The Model 8416 Mini-DSS unit is a scaled-down version of the full-sized DSS/BLF
unit. This optional unit adds 16 user-programmable keys to your phone. These keys
can be programmed as any of the following:
•DSS keys: Provide one-key access to extension numbers and display the status of
the extension associated with the key (see page 57).
•Feature keys: Provide quick access to frequently-used features (see page 56).
•Secondary extensions: Allow one-key access to calls ringing or holding at
another station (see page 58).
NOTE: Instructions for attaching the Mini-DSS to your phone are included with the
unit.
The DSS/BLF and Mini-DSS lamps indicate the status of the extension or feature
assigned to the key. These indications are shown in the table below.

IP Phone Exceptions
The 8660 IP Phone looks and functions almost identically to the 8560. The only
exceptions are:
•The 8660 does not support the Off-Hook Voice Announce feature (see page 18).
•The 8660 does not support the Enhanced Speakerphone Mode feature (see
page 31).
•The 8660 has additional jacks on the phone that are used for Internet connections.
Consult your System Administrator and your local Inter-Tel servicing company for
important information about dialing emergency services from your IP Phone
before you begin using it.
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 or touchtone telephone. To use this and other features, each user (you
included) 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 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 34). 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.
FINDING YOUR WAY
CAUTION
NOTE: You cannot cancel unheard (unretrieved) messages that are sent using group
lists (see page 38).

WHAT YOU SEEAND HEAR
As you can see, your 8560 Display Phone, 8660 IP Phone, and Axxess system come
equipped with a lot of “bells and whistles.” To help you understand what everything
means, it is recommended that you read the following information before you use
your phone.
•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.
FINDING YOUR WAY
•Many features “time out” if you wait too long before performing the next step. If
this happens, you must hang up and start again.
•If you hear four fast tones or repeating fast tones, you have pressed an invalid key
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.
•Some Model 8560 Display Phones and 8660 IP Phones have red and green lamps
in the feature keys. Green indicates a call is ringing, holding, or active on your
phone. Red means the call is on another phone. If the keys only light red, either
your phone does not have the green lamps, or the system may not be programmed
to support the two lamp colors.
NOTE: Your phone may be programmed to always use red lamps for calls ringing
directly to your phone. If you are uncertain about the configuration, ask your System Administrator.
•The key 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

•“Off-hook” means that either the handset is lifted or the speakerphone is on (is
lit). “On-hook” indicates that the handset is in the cradle or the speakerphone is
off. For example, you must first go “off-hook” to make a call, but you must go
“on-hook” to end a call.
•If the key and the Message Indicator Lamp are lit when using a directory
MSG
or entering a message, you are in alphanumeric mode, which allows you to enter
letters. If the key and the Message Indicator Lamp are unlit, you are in
MSG
numeric mode and can only enter numbers and special characters.
•“Handsfree” mode indicates that a call is connected through the speakerphone
(i.e., you don’t have to lift the handset to speak). While in handsfree mode, you
can make or receive calls.

SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY
Your phone is fully compatible with Axxess system software versions 7.0 and later.
Phones using system software versions 3.0 to 6.x have limited functionality in the following areas:
•The Station Speed-Dial key will not work; however, you can still use this feature
by dialing the Station Speed-Dial feature code (see page 52).
•The Page key will not work; however, you can still use this feature by dialing the
Page feature code (see page 55).
•The Message Indicator lamp will not work; however, the Message key will still
function properly (see page 32).
•The dedicated headset audio jack will not work; however, you can still use the
headset by plugging the headset into the handset jack and dialing the Headset On/
Off feature code (see page 29).
•The optional Mini-DSS will not work.
•The Transfer, Answer, Outgoing, System Speed-Dial and Redial lamps will not
light.
The 8560 and 8660 Phones are not supported by software versions 3.0 and earlier.
NOTE: This information about compatibility applies to phones programmed to use the
default key locations. Your keys may have been programmed differently. If you are
uncertain about the configuration, ask your System Administrator.

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

MAKINGAND RECEIVING CALLS
Making and receiving calls is the basic purpose of any phone. With your Display
Phone, you can make/receive intercom and outside calls and make emergency calls.
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
To place an intercom call:
1. With or without the handset lifted, dial an extension number.
2. If your call goes through handsfree to a phone’s speaker, speak after you hear a
double tone.
If you hear continuous ringing, wait for the call to be answered.
To place a non-handsfree call that will ring at the other phone until answered:

If the phone is busy when you place an intercom call, you can do any of the following:
•To stay on the line and wait for the phone to become available: Do not hang up.
After a system timer expires, you hear music until the phone is available. (You
cannot do this if the called phone is in DND mode.)
•To request a callback (queue on to the phone): Press the QUEUE menu key and
hang up. When the phone is available, your phone rings. (To cancel the queue
request before the callback, press .)

•To use the Off-Hook Voice Announce feature (if the called phone is programmed
for it): Do not hang up. After the busy signals stop, you are automatically con-
nected and may speak. (If you hear music or if the phone is in DND mode, your
off-hook voice announce call will not go through.) This allows you to talk to the
phone user on his or her handsfree speakerphone, even though the user already
has a call in progress on the handset. This feature is not available if your phone
has the Ring Intercom Always feature enabled.
Receiving Intercom Calls
To receive an intercom call that comes in through your speakerphone:
EITHER, Respond handsfree.
OR, Lift the handset for privacy.
To receive a ringing (non-handsfree) intercom call:

USING DO-NOT-DISTURB MODE
If you are away from your desk, or if you do not want to be disturbed, you can use the
DND feature. This halts all pages and calls to your phone, except queue callbacks,
recalls, and direct ring-in calls. When other users call your phone, they hear a repeating signal of four fast tones and, if they have a display phone, see the DND message
you have selected.
Your telephone system can have up to 20 different DND messages, each of which can
be changed by the System Administrator, installer, or programmer. Your trainer or
System Administrator will give you a list of the programmed DND messages. For
convenience, you should update the following default list.
Because the system DND message only uses one line of your display, you can enter a
second line of text, up to 16 characters. For example, if you select 03 (IN MEETING
UNTIL) as your first line of text, you can enter “3:30” as your second line. Callers
will then see, “IN MEETING UNTIL 3:30.”

USING REMINDER MESSAGES
Never be late for a meeting again! With Reminder Messages, you can program your
phone, up to 24 hours in advance, to alert you at a specified time. At the programmed
time, the reminder message signals you with eight short tones, and your display
shows the message. If you are on a call, you still hear the tones, and the message displays for ten seconds. Then the display returns after you hang up. (reminder displays
interrupt, but do not affect programming.)
Your phone system can have up to 20 different reminder messages, each of which can
be changed by the System Administrator, installer, or programmer. Your trainer or
System Administrator will give you a list of reminder messages for your system. For
convenience, you should update the following default list.

INTRODUCTION
Now that you’ve mastered the basics, it’s time to move on to the advanced features. In
this section, you’ll learn how to program your phone, use directories, access your
voice mailbox remotely, and perform various other functions.
SETTING PREFERENCES
Your phone and voice mailbox are automatically set to specific defaults. You can,
however, configure many of these settings at any time.
Phone Configuration
Customizable features on your phone include changing volume levels, enabling background music, selecting a ring tone, and others.
Changing Volume Levels
The phone has eight volume settings: handset intercom, handset outside call, speakerphone intercom, speakerphone outside call, background music, ringing, handset intercom dial tone, and speakerphone intercom dial tone.
NOTE: To change each of these levels, you must be using that feature. For example, if

Changing the Language
When your phone system is installed, the System Administrator can choose two of
four different languages (American English, British English, Japanese, or Spanish) as
the primary and secondary languages. You can then change the display and voice mail
prompts on your phone by toggling between the primary and secondary languages.
For example, if the system’s primary language is American English, and your phone
is programmed for the primary language, all displays appear in American English,
and your voice mail prompts are played in American English (unless changed, as outlined below). If the secondary language is Japanese, and your phone is programmed
for the secondary language, all displays appear in Japanese (Katakana) characters, and
your voice mail prompts are played in Japanese.
NOTE: You can only use the secondary language voice mail prompts if they are
loaded on the system. By default, all phones are set for the primary language. See your
System Administrator to determine which languages are programmed for your phone
system.
MOVING ON

Programming Remote Messaging
NOTE: Your installer or System Administrator must enable this feature on your voice
mailbox.
With Remote Messaging, you can program the Voice Processor (voice mail) to 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
Station Speed Dial
MOVING ON
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.

dialing the desired location number. Because the Inter-Tel Axxess system supports
both station and System Speed-Dial numbers, you can have access to over 1000
stored numbers.
You can store up to ten personal speed-dial numbers and associated names in Station
Speed-Dial locations 0-9. If you have programmable feature keys, you can also create
Station Speed-Dial keys for one-touch speed dialing (see page 56).

SCREENING CALLS
NOTE: This feature is available only if your telephone system is equipped with a
Axxess Voice Processor (voice mail).
If your voice mailbox is programmed correctly, you can screen calls that are transferred from voice mail. This allows you to accept and/or refuse specific calls.
Depending on the transfer method you use, calls from voice mail may be unannounced, announce only, or screened calls (see page 48 for details).
If your voice mailbox is programmed for screened calls, you have the following
options when you receive a transfer:
•Press the ACCEPT menu key or to accept the call.
•Press the REPLAY menu key or to replay the announcement.
•Press the SEND TO V-MAIL menu key or to send the call to voice mail.
•Press the FORWARD menu key or
forward the call to another extension.
•Press the REFUSE menu key or to refuse the call.
USINGTHE DIRECTORIES
With directories, you can use your phone keypad to find names, numbers and features.
You can then use the directory information to make calls, access features, or leave
voice mail messages.

Whenever voice mail asks you to enter a mailbox number, you can use the mailbox
and extension number directories. You can also use these directories to leave a voice
message with another user. Like the phone directories, you don’t have to enter the full
name because the system finds the closest match based on your entry.
To perform a directory search:
When prompted, press the keys to enter the name. The number of times a key is
pressed determines which character is entered, as shown below. When adjoining characters are under the same key, press to advance to the next character. For

REQUESTING AGENT HELP
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, and the
display shows AGENT HELP REJECTED.
To respond to an Agent Help request at a display phone:
When you receive an Agent Help request, your display shows <name> REQUESTS
HELP. You can do one of the following:
•To accept the call: Answer as usual. Your microphone is muted and you cannot
be heard by either party unless you press
•To reject the call: Press the REJECT HELP menu key.

WORKINGIN 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:

ACD Hunt Groups
MOVING ON
3
Dial
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.

Logging In and Out of ACD Hunt Groups
Agents can log in to and out of the ACD hunt group at any time. While logged in, the
agent receives calls through the ACD hunt group. When the agent is logged out, calls

hear a short ring burst. If the ACD Agent ID Automatic Connect option is enabled for
your hunt group and you are using a headset, you will be automatically connected. If
this option is not enabled for your hunt group, the call will ring until you answer it or
until it times out to another extension.

INTRODUCTION
If you want to know more about your phone and voice mail system, this is the section
for you. With additional information and an FAQ, you should be able to find answers
to most of your questions.
WHATTHE ADMINISTRATORS CAN DOFOR 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 user names, 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
70
— Customizing voice mail prompts
NOTE: Because the Axxess telephone system is very flexible and programmable, the
procedures 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 Inter-Tel Axxess 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 Inter-Tel.
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 52).
Q2.How do I change the time and date on my phone?
A2.Only your System Administrator can change the time and date. Please contact your
System Administrator if you notice that the date and time are incorrect.
Q3.How can I retrieve messages if I don’t know the password for my voice mail?
A3.Try using your extension number, which is your default password. Or, maybe you
don’t 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 47).
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 36). If you attempted to undelete a voice mail within this time frame, however,
your telephone system may not have the latest software (the “undelete” feature was a
recent addition). Or, your voice mail system may not have sufficient space programmed to store deleted messages. Contact your System Administrator to determine
if this feature is available.
#
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 that are allowed
before the call is forwarded to voice mail.
Q6.How can I change the name displayed on my phone?
A6.Only your System Administrator can change the user names assigned to extensions.
Q7.How do I scroll the display screen?
A7.Press (the low end of the Volume key) to scroll down or (the high end of the
Volume key) to scroll up. Or, you can use the PREVIOUS or NEXT menu keys.

71
Page 82
Q8.Why can’t I program a Station Speed-Dial number to the key I want? It keeps saying
that the key is non-programmable.
A8.Your System Administrator has programmed that key as a non-programmable key.
Because you cannot override system programming from your phone, you must choose
another key.
Q9.Why can’t I use one of the features described in this guide?
A9.There are a few reasons why you might not be able to access the feature. Some possi-
ble reasons include:
• Your system software version may not support the feature. This guide covers
software versions 3.0 and later. (See page 9 for more information about software
compatibility.)
• Your System Administrator may not have enabled the feature for your phone.
• Your System Administrator may have programmed your phone to block the fea-
ture.
Q10.What do I do if my IP Phone loses audio?
A10.Loss of audio on an IP Phone may indicate a firewall conflict. Contact your System
Administrator to resolve this issue.
Q11.If I need further assistance, how do I get technical support?
A11.First, contact your System Administrator if you have a question that is not covered in
this user guide. If you need further assistance, contact your local authorized Inter-Tel
dealer. All Inter-Tel sales, service, and support are handled at the local level.
