WELCOME
Your new Model 8600 endpoint provides access to several features, each of which is
described in this guide. The Model 8600 endpoint supports two different modes of
network protocols, and can operate in either Inter-Tel Protocol (ITP) mode or Session
FINDING YOUR WAY
Initiation Protocol (SIP) mode. The operating mode determines which features and
options are enabled on the endpoint. This guide is for en dpoints operating in ITP
mode. If your endpoint is configured to operate in SIP mode, request a copy of the
Model 8600/8620/8622/8662 User Guide: Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Mode
(part number 550.8024) from your system administrator. The About This Guide section below lists the different sections in this user guide and
describes the type of information you can find there. If you need to access information
quickly, refer to the Quick Reference Guide attached to the front of this guide. You
can also tear out the pocket guide to keep as a handy reference for features you are
likely to use while away from the office (Remote Feature Access and Voice Mail).

Power Requirements
The Model 8600 requires either an individual power supply unit or a centralized
power source to power the endpoint. Check with your system administrator about the
specific power requirements for your endpoint.
Before connecting a power supply unit, make sure it is compatible with your endpoint. The following individual power supply units are compatible with the Model
8600:
• Inter-Tel Power Supply Unit (Part Number 806.1114/806.1117 in Europe)
• Red Hawk Single Port PowerSense
• An industry-standard IEEE 802.3 Power Supply Unit
It is recommended that you plug your endpoint’s individual power supply unit into an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). If your endpoint ’s power supply unit is not
plugged into a UPS and the power fails, the current telephone call will be dropped.
NOTE: Contact your network administrator to order a new power supply unit for your
endpoint.
Your system may be configured to use a centralized power source (power over Ethernet) rather than an individual power supply unit. Your system administrator will
explain how to connect your endpoint to the centralized power source. If your endpoint uses power over Ethernet, do not connect an individual power supply unit to the
endpoint.

Endpoint Connectors
The Model 8600 endpoint has a jack located on the back of the endpoint used to connect a handset or headset. In addition to the handset/headset jack, the Model 8600 has
a LAN connector required for an IP endpoint. Two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on
the LAN/Power jack indicate link status and the speed of the connection.
The Model 8600 endpoint connectors include:
• Headset/Handset Jack: Connects to a headset or handset.
• LAN/Power Jack: Connects to a network hub or a switch.
For more information about your endpoint’s connectors, power supply, and supported
ethernet devices, contact your network administrator.

Software and Firmware Updates
Your endpoint come s pre-installed with Inter-Tel-provided firmware that allows it to
communicate with the telephone system. Firmware is software that is embedded in a
hardware device (e.g., your endpoint) that allows it to operate. Endpoints may require
FINDING YOUR WAY
updates when a new version of software or firmware is available.
Your endpoint may be configured to download firmw are and software updates from a
configured server automatically. If so, your endpoin t will periodically check the
server to see if any updates are available. When an update is available, the endpoint
downloads it automatically.
CAUTION
During the download process, it is important that you do not use your endpoint.
This ensures that the software or firmware update is downloaded successfully. Do
not disconnect the endpoint from it’s power source during the download process. Disconnecting the endpoint’s power supply while the endpoint is downloading an update may cause serious damage to the endpoint, and the
endpoint may need to be shipped back to Inter-Tel for repair.
After your endpoint successfully downloads the updated software or firmware version, it will re-synchronize with the telephone system by performing a reset. During a
reset, all of the red LEDs on the endpoint illuminate briefly and the message lamp
flashes from left to right, and back again several times. Approximately one minute
after the message lamp stops flashing, the reset is complete and you can use your endpoint again.
NOTE: During a reset, your endpoint loses connectivity with the network for approxi-
mately 10-20 seconds.

ABOUT VOICE MAIL
Voice mail is an application that is part of the Inter-Tel voice processing system.
Using voice mail, you and other callers can send and receive recorded messages from
any supported endpoint on the system. To use voice mail features, each user (or subscriber) is assigned a mailbox, which usually corresponds to the extension number
assigned to your endpoint. 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 mailbox, you can use personal or system greetings to let callers know if
you are out of town, on a call, etc. If a caller rea ches your mailbox, they can leave a
message, hang up, or access an attendant. In addition, if your voice mail administrator
sets up one or more “group lists” of mailboxes, you can send a message to a grou p of
people by entering one number instead of everyone’s individual mailbox number.
Inter-Tel voice mail systems support the following types of mailboxes:
• Advanced Mailbox: If E-Mail Reader is enabled for your mailbox, you have
access to voice mail, e-mail, and fax messages in your mailbox. You can also customize your personal mailbox options, and access advanced messaging features.
See page 67 for information and instructions about using E-Mail Reader features.
For a voice mail flowchart for advanced mailbox users, see page 79.
• Standard Voice Mailbox: This type of mailbox allows you to send and receive
voice mail messages, record personal greetings, and allows you to customize personal mailbox options. A standard voice mailbox does not allow you to access email and fax messages. For a voice mail flowchart for standard mailbox users,
see page 95.

Enterprise Messaging
Enterprise Messaging (EM) is the Inter-Tel messaging system that use s industry-standard protocols for communication and messag ing. EM unifies communicatio n and
messaging by providing access to voice mail, fax, and e-mail messages in your mailbox. The EM system provides voice mail users with the following advanced messaging features:
• Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR): ASR can be enabled for the entire sys-
tem or it can be enabled for specific applications (like voice mail) or mailboxes.
When ASR is enabled for your mailbox, you can issue spoken commands to navigate the voice mail menus. ASR also allows subscribers and non-subscribers to
navigate automated attendant menus, call routing applications, and search the
directories. ASR can be enabled for standard voice mailboxes and advanced mailboxes (see page 7). For more information about ASR, see page 10.
• E-Mail Reader: E-Mail Reader allows you to access voice, e-mail, and fax mes-
sages from your mailbox. For e-mail messages, E-mail Reader uses Text-toSpeech (TTS) capabilities included with EM to convert the text in an e-mail message to a .wav file. For fax messages, E-Mail Reader announces the fax envelope. If E-Mail Reader has been enabled for your mailbox, your voice mail, email, and fax messages are unified in one convenient location. For more information and instructions about how to use E-Mail Reader features, see the Using E-
Mail Reader section, starting on page 67.
Consult your voice mail administrator to see if ASR and/or E-Mail Reader is enabled
for your mailbox.
FINDING YOUR WAY
NOTE: EM also includes Unified Messaging inbound and outbound faxing capabilities.
For information and instructions about Unified Messaging fe atures, see Issue 2.3 of the
Unified Messaging User Guide, part number 550.8121.

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a feature available for systems using EM.
Because ASR is a very flexible feature, it can be enabled or disabled on several different levels. When ASR is enabled for your mailbox, you can issue spoken commands
FINDING YOUR WAY
to navigate the voice mail menus. ASR also allows subscribers and non-subscribers to
navigate automated attendant menus, call routing applications, and search the directories using voice commands.
When you access voice mail, if you are given the option to say a command or press a
dialpad button to complete a task, then ASR is enabled for your mailbox. If you are
only prompted to press a dialpad button, ASR is not enab led for y our mailb ox. If your
mailbox is not ASR-enabled, you can still navigate the menus and perform tasks by
pressing the appropriate dialpad buttons when prompted by the system.
When using ASR, follow these guidelines for best results:
• When completing a mailbox-related task, either say the command each time or
press the dialpad buttons each time.
• When you use the dialpad buttons to complete a task, you are sometimes
prompted to press to indicate to the system that you have finished entering
#
digits. It is not necessary to say “Pound” or “Hash” when using A SR. The si lence
that follows your voice command replaces the digit.
#
• While you are recording a message, ASR is temporarily disabled, therefore you
cannot issue spoken commands to access options like pause and erase. If you
attempt to issue a spoken command while you are recording, your recording will
include the command you issued. To ac cess the pause and erase options, you
must press the appropriate dialpad buttons.
• You cannot use ASR to set up your e-mail password (see page 71). For security
reasons, you must enter your e-mail password characters by pressing the appropriate dialpad buttons. Entering passwords this way prevents others from overhearing your password.
• If the system cannot interpret your voice commands for three consecutive
attempts, ASR is temporarily disabled by the system for the current call. You can
still complete tasks using the dialpad buttons; however, you will no longer be
prompted to say a command.
• You can temporarily disable ASR for the current call by selecting option eight
from the main menu.

WHAT YOU SEE AND HEAR
As you can see, your Model 8600 and telephone system come equipped with many
features. To help you understand what everything means, it is recommended that you
read the following information before you use your endpoint:
• A red lamp indicates that a call is ringing, holding, or active on your endpoint.
• The endpoint’s lam ps may be solidly lit or flashing t o indicate the status of a call
or feature. To av oid confusion, this guide uses different icons to signify that a
lamp is unlit ( ), lit, ( ), or flashing ( ).
• If you hear four fast tones or repeating fast tones (reorder tone), you have p ressed
an invalid button 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.
• Your telephone system may be programmed for one or two dial tones. Syst ems
with two dial tones have one for intercom calls and one for outside calls.
• Many features “time out” if you wait too long before performing the next step. If
this happens, you must hang up and start over.
• “Off-hook” means that the handset is lifted, and “on-hook” indicates that the
handset is in the cradle. For example, you must first go “off-hook” to m ake a call,
but you must go “on-hook” to end a call.

Recording Your Personal Greetings
You can store two different personal greetings in your voice mailbox: a primary and
an alternate. You may change or choose to use either greeting at any time. 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 (say
“Operator” or 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, 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, leave a detailed message, and I will return your
call when I return. Thank you.
You can also select the System Greeting if you do not want to record a primary or
alternate greeting. The system greeting states, “Mailbox number (xxxxx) is not available.” Depending on how your system is programmed, the sy stem greeting may al so
include, “After the tone, please record your message. When finished, you may hang
up to deliver the message or press pound for more options.”

MAKING AND RECEIVING CALLS
Making and receiving calls is the basic purpose of any endpoint. With your Model
8600, you can make/receive intercom and outside calls and make emergency calls.
Consult your system administrator and your local Inter-Tel servicing company for
important information about dialing emergency services from your Model 8600
before you begin using it.
Intercom Calls
Your extension number allows other people to place intercom calls to you, without
dialing any extra codes. And, because every endpoint in your telephone system is
GETTING STARTED
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. Lift the handset and dial an exten sion number.
2. If your call goes through handsfree to an endpoint’s speaker, speak after your
party answers.
If you hear continuous ringing, wait for the call to be answered.
The telephone system allows you to place a non-handsfree call that will override
handsfree mode on the extensio n you are calling. If you use the R ing Intercom
Always feature to always send non-handsfree calls, the called party must pick up the
handset to answer the call.

INTRODUCTION
Now that you’ve mastered the basics, it’s tim e to move on to the advanced features. In
this section, you’ll learn how to program your endpoint, use directories, access your
mailbox remotely, and perform various other functions.
SETTING ENDPOINT PREFERENCES
Your endpoint is automatically set to specific defaults. You can, however, configure
many of these settings at any time. Customizable features on your endpoint include
changing volume levels, enabling background music, selecting a ring tone, and others.
Changing Volume Levels
The telephone system 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
you want to change the outside call volume level, you must be on an outside call.
To change a volume level:
Press (the high end of the volume button) to increase the volume. Press (the
low end of the volume button) to decrease the volume.
MOVING ON
To save your change:
EITHER, Press both ends of the volume button.
OR, Press the middle of the volume button.
Selecting a Ring Tone
The ability to change your ring tone is helpful in close-quartered environments. If
your ring tone is unique, you can quickly identify when a call is ringing on your endpoint.

Changing the Language
Returning to Default Operation
MOVING ON
When your telephone 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 toggle between the
primary and secondary languages. For example, if the system’s primary language is
American English, and your endpoint is programmed for the primary language, all
prompts are played in American English (unless changed, as outlined below). If the
secondary language is Japanese, and your endpoint is programmed for the secondary
language, all 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 endpoints are set for the primary language. See
your system administrator to determine which languages are programmed for your telephone system.
To change the assigned language for your endpoint:
Dial

to change between your system’s primary and secondary languages,
as desired.
You can return your endpoint to default levels at any tim e. This feature returns volumes to default levels; cancels DND, manual call forwarding, background music, and
queue requests; and restores handsfree mode, pages, hunt group calls, and system forwarding all at once.

Programming Remote Messaging
NOTE: The Remote Messaging feature is available only if it is enabled for your mail-
box. Contact your voice mail administrator to see if this feature is enabled for your mailbox.
MOVING ON
ALSO: The remote messaging feature is supported for voice mail messages only. If E-
Mail Reader is enabled for your mailbox, you cannot use remote messaging for e-mail
and fax messages.
With Remote Messaging, you can program voice mail to call you when your mailbox
receives new voice mail 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 voice mail 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.

SPEED DIALING
Speed dialing allows you (and your system administrator) to store and access frequently dialed numbers. Each number is stored in your endpoint (Station Speed Dial)
or in the telephone system (System Speed Dial) and is identified by a location number. Once programmed, you can quickly dial these numbers by entering a feature code
and dialing the desired location number. Because the system supports both Station and
System Speed-Dial numbers, you can have access to over 1000 stored numbers.
Station Speed Dial
You can program and use up to ten personal speed-dial numbers on your endpoint. To
use a speed-dial button, you must:
• Store the number in a speed-dial location.
• Associate a speed-dial location with the new speed-dial button.
NOTE: You can use the Speed-Dial feature even if your endpoint does not have
programmable feature buttons.
Programming Station Speed-Dial Numbers

PAGING
The Paging feature allows you to make an announcement through endpoint speakers
or external speakers (if your system is equipped with external paging equipment). To
prevent announcements from transmitting through every endpoint in the system, this
feature uses page zones. Each zone contains a different combination of extensions and
external paging equipment, and is programmed by your system administrator. Ask
your trainer or system administrator how the zones are programmed, and list them
below for your convenience.

USING ACCOUNT CODES
If your telephone system is programmed to use the Station Message Detail Recording
(SMDR) feature, you might be required to enter account codes when you place a call.
These codes add information to telephone record reports that the system will periodically print.
There are three types of account codes:
• Standard account codes are automatically entered into the SMDR report whenever you place a call.
• Forced account codes must be dialed before you can place an outside call.
• Optional account codes can be entered at any time during a call.
NOTE: Your system administrator can tell you which types of account codes are used
on your telephone system.

USING THE VOICE MAIL DIRECTORY
With the voice mail directory, subscribers and non-subscribers can use ASR (if
enabled) or dialpad buttons to search for names in the directory. Subscriber names are
automatically added to the directory when their mailbox is initialized. ASR may not
be able to locate names that are pronounced differently than they are spelled. For
these types of names, use the alternate search method of spelling the name using the
endpoint dialpad buttons (see table below).
You begin a search by dialin g the system voice mail extension and selecting the directory option. You are prompted to say or spell the name of t he mailbox user you want
to search for. For example, if you say the name John, the system locates all of the subscribers with the first or last name of John. The list of names returned might include
the names John Smith, John Jones, John Nielson, David John, Robert John, etc.
When one to 10 matches are located, you can browse the list of returned names by
selecting the Previous (say “Previous” or press ) and Next (say “Next” or press
) options. The directory lists are circular. That is, when the end of the list is
3
reached, the next name played will be the first name in the directory. When the correct
name is played say “Yes” or press to select it.
If the system locates more than 10 matches, you can either browse the list using the
options mentioned above, or filter the list by responding to the filtering question s generated by the system. Based on your responses, the system filters the list to include
first or last name matches only. If the sy stem cannot locate an exact match, it returns
the closest match found.
To use the dialpad buttons to spell a name: When prompted, press a single digit on
your endpoint dialpad for each letter or character entered. For example, dialpad button
2
contains the letters ABC, button contains DEF, etc. To enter “JONES,” you
would press

REQUESTING AGENT HELP
NOTE: This feature is not supported on p eer-to-peer (P2P) calls. Ask your system
administrator if your endpoint is configured to use P2P audio.
Your telephone system may be pro grammed 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 endpoint, the endpoint’s microphone is automatically muted so that the supervisor cannot be heard unless he or she presses
MUTE
. If the Agent Help Extension is a single-line endpoint, however, the supervi-
sor 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 fea-
ture is not available at your endpoint, you already have four parties in your call,
not enough system circuits are currently available, or the Agent Help Extension
is in DND.

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.

INTRODUCTION
Enterprise Messaging (EM) is the voice processing system that provides advanced
messaging features with the E-mail Reader feature. This section provides information
and instructions about advanced mailbox tasks for users who have E-Mail Reader
enabled for their mailbox.
If your mailbox does not have E-Mail Reader enabled, you have a standard voice
mailbox (see page 7). The instructions for many voice mail tasks are identical for
standard voice mailbox and advanced mailbox users, therefore, the instructions for
these common mailbox tasks are not repeated in this section.
See the following pages for common mailbox tasks:
• Initializing your mailbox (see page 15)
• Recording your personal greetings (see page 16)
• Recording your voice mail directory name (see page 17)
• Accessing your mailbox (see page 30)
• Disabling and enabling ASR (see page 31)
• Accessing voice mail messages (see page 32)
• Recording and sending voice m ail messages (see page 35)
• Canceling unheard voice mail messages (see page 37)
• Changing your mailbox password (see page 45)
• Changing the call screening transfer method (see page 47)
• Programming a fax destination (see page 48)
• Changing the message search order (see page 48)
• Programming rem ote messaging (see page 49)

E-MAIL READER FEATURES
When E-Mail Reader has been enabled for your mailbox, you have the advanced
mailbox. The advanced mailbox unifies your local voice mail messages and your
remote fax and e-mail messages in one convenient location. E-mail Reader uses Textto-Speech (TTS) capabilities to convert the text in an e-mail message to a.wav file. If
E-Mail Reader is enabled for your mailbox, you can access voice mail, e-mail, and
fax messages in your mailbox using your endpoint.
When you access an e-mail message in your mailbox, E-Mail Reader first announces
your e-mail according to the envelope options that you set (see page 78). Then, after
the envelope is played, E-Mail Reader reads the text in the body of the message. Once
you have listened to your e-mail, you can access additional options to reply, forward,
save, or delete the message (see page 73).
When you access a fax message, E-Mail Reader announces the fax envelope according to the envelope options that you set (see page 78). Because a fax message is
received by your e-mail account as an attachment to an e-mail message in the form of
a .tiff file, E-Mail Reader cannot read the text in the body of the fax. To view the
fax and read it, you must access it from your e-mail account. With your advanced
mailbox you can save, delete, and forward a fax (to another fax machine) using the
available menu options, when prompted (see page 76).

USING YOUR ADVANCED MAILBOX
After you set up your mailbox (see page 14), you can use personal or system greetings
to let callers know if you are out of town, on a call, etc. You can send messages to
individuals and to a group of people if your voice mail administrator has programmed

SETTING UP YOUR E-MAIL PASSWORD
When E-Mail Reader is enabled for your mailbox, the EM system prompts you to
enter your e-mail password after you or your voice mail administrator does one o f the
following:
• Set up your mailbox (see page 14)
• Change your e-mail password for your e-mail client
To access your e-mail an d fax messages from your advanced mailbox, you must set
up your e-mail password. While completing the setu p, you cannot use Automatic
Speech Recognition (ASR) if it is enabled for your voice mail system. To prevent others from overhearing your password, you must use the dialpad digits on your endpoint
to set up your e-mail password.
When setting up your password, the number of times you press a button determines
which character is entered, as shown in the table on the following page. Notice that
the capital letters and lower case letters require different button presses. As you press
the buttons, the system announces the current character. For security reasons, use the
handset and not the speakerphone when you set up your e-mail password.
E-mail passwords are case-sensitive and your entry must match your e-mail password
exactly . Also, your e-mail password cannot include any characters that are not
included in the table on the following page and cannot exceed 40 characters. Check
with your administrator if you encounter any difficulties setting up your e-mail password.

ACCESSING E-MAIL MESSAGES
NOTE: By default, the message lamp on your endpoint lights when you receive a new
voice mail message. Although the lamp can be programmed for other functions, it cannot be programmed to indicate that you have received a new e-mail message.
E-Mail Reader does not distinguish between conventional e-mail messages and meeting invitations and responses. Therefore, e-mail messages and meeting messages
(including invitations, cancellations, and responses) can all be accessed by selecting
option three from the main menu.
When you access your e-mail messages, E-Mail Reade r first announces the message
according to the envelope options you select (see page 78). Then E-Mail Reader reads
the text in the body of the message. Then you can replay the message, listen to the
next or previous message, replay the message envelope, save the message, or delete
the message. In addition, you can reply to the message or forward a copy to another
recipient.
When you select the reply option, you are prompted to record a message and your
reply is sent as an attachment in the form of a.wav file. If the e-mail has multiple
recipients, you have the option of replying to just the sender, or to all of the recipients.
When you forward an e-mail message, the e-mail is converted to a fax and forwarded
to the fax destination telephone number you specify.
NOTE: The body of Outlook meeting messages contain links that E-Mail Reader inter-
prets as text. These links are displayed if you are using a third-party mail application or
Outlook Express, but they are hidden in Outlook.
EXAMPLE: Sally User’s supervisor creates a Sales Team meeting invitation in Out-
look and sends it to Sally. Sally accepts the meeting and in the body of her acceptance
e-mail she writes, “I’m looking forward to attending.” When Sally’s supervisor access
Sally’s meeting acceptance using E-Mail Reader, the e-mail is announced according to
the supervisor’s e-mail envelope preferences. Then E-Mail Reader reads Sally’s written
response followed by the hidden link inserted by Outlook, “I’m looking forward to attending. Microsoft Outlook Web Access: http://TMS-NT-EVS01/Exchange/Sally_User/Inbox/

e-mail and fax messages is the “Main Menu E-Mail Reader Count” option. (Voice
mail message prompts are not included in Main Menu E-Mail Reader Count and will
always be played when you access your mailbox.)
You can disable the Main Menu E-Mail Reader Count option in your mailbox.
Disabling the Main Menu E-Mail Reader Count option d efers e-mail and fax pro mpts

INTRODUCTION
If you want to know more about your endpoint and voice mail system, this is the section for you. With additional information and FAQs, you should be able to find
answers to most of your questions.
NOTE: Because the telephone system is very flexible and p rogrammable, the proce-
dures 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.
WHAT THE ADMINISTRATORS CAN DO FOR YOU
The administrators are the people to whom you should turn if you have any problems
with your endpoint and/or voice mail. They have access to advanced programming
features and can reset certain settings associated with your endpoint.
The types of administrators that can help you with your endpoint/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 usernames, toll restriction,
DND messages, and extension numbers
LEARNING MORE
82
• 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)
— Customizing voice mail prompts
NOTE: For problems that are network-related, contact your network administrator.
If you are a system administrator or if you need additional information not available
in this guide, refer to your system’s administrator guide. If you are a network administrator, refer to the latest version of the IP Devices Installation Manual (part number
835.2195).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
This section includes some of the most frequently asked questions. If you have problems with your endpoint or mailbox, refer to this section before you cont act your system, voice mail, or network administrator or your local Inter-Tel provider.
Q1. How can I retrieve messages if I don’t know the password for my voice mail?
A1. 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 45).
Q2. How do I program System Speed-Dial numbers?
A2. Only your system administrator can program System Speed-Dial numbers. You can,
however, program up to ten Station Speed-Dial numbers (see page 51).
Q3. How can I set the number of rings that are allowed before the call is sent to voice
mail?
A3. Only your system administrator can change the number of rings.
Q4. Why can’t I hear dial tone when I pick up my handset?
A4. Your endpoint may be in headset mode. While on-hook, enter the Headset Off feature
code (
) or the Headset On/Off feature code ( ).

Q5. Why can’t I retrieve deleted messages?
A5. The system may have erased your message. After a programmed amount of time has
lapsed, up to 24 hours, the system automatically erases all deleted voice mail messages (see page 34). If you attempted to recover a deleted voice mail message within
this time frame but you were still unsuccessful, your voice mail system may not have
sufficient space programmed to store deleted messages. Or, your telephone system
may not be using a software version that supports this feature. If you are attempting to
recover a deleted e-mail or fax message (E-Mail Reader e nabled) contact your voice
mail administrator to see how long you have to recover deleted e-mail and fax messages.
Q6. Why can’t I program a Station Speed-Dial number to the button I want?
A6. Your system administrator has programmed that button as a non-programmable but-
ton. Because you cannot override system programming from your endpoint, you must
choose another button.

Q7. Why don’t the local telephone company star codes (i.e.*82, *69, etc.) work when I use
the Outgoing Call feature code (
A7. Rather than pressing to access an outside line, you must dial a Select Line Group
8
by default) to call an outside number?
8
number before you can use the star codes. For example, if your system is using the
default Select Line Group numbers, dial 92001 to access that line. Once you have dial
tone, you can dial the star code and the number.
Q8. Why can’t I use ASR to enter my e-mail password?
A8. To prevent others from overhearing your password, you must enter it using the dial-
pad buttons on your endpoint. See page 71 for additional information about entering
your e-mail password if E-Mail Reader is enabled for your mailbox.
Q9. If my e-mail password expires for my e-mail client and I have to change it, do I also
have to update it for my mailbox?
A9. Yes. Whenever you change your e-mail password, you will be prompted to update it
for E-Mail Reader. See page 71 for additional information about entering your e-mail
password.
Q10. Why don’t I have e-mail and fax messages in my mailbox?
A10. If your mailbox is the standard voice mailbox (see page 7), you will not receive e-
mail and fax messages in your mailbox. To receive these types of messages, E-Mail
Reader must be enabled for your mailbox. Check with your voice mail administrator
to see if E-Mail Reader is enabled for your mailbox.
LEARNING MORE
Q11. Why do I get the wrong response when I try to complete a task by saying a command?
A11. Several things affect the system’s response to voice commands. One reason the sys-
tem may not be responding to voice commands is that Automatic Speech Recognition
(ASR) may not be enabled on your system. If your system’s voice prompts do not
include the option to “say” a command, then ASR is not enabled. See page 10 for
additional guidelines for using ASR.
Q12. Sometimes I experience audio problems on my endpoint such as echo, distorted
sound, or choppiness. To whom do I report this?
A12. The system has an audio diagnostics feature that users can access to diagnose audio
problems. Contact your system administrator if you are having audio problems. If the
Audio Diagnostics feature is enabled on your system, your administrator can provide
you with instructions about how to use the audio diagnostics feature.

Inter-Tel® Model 8600 User Guide (ITP Mode)
Page 97
Q13. Why can’t I use one of the features described in this guide?
A13. 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. Check with your system administrator to see which software version your telephone system currently
uses and if there are any features restrictions for your system.
• Your system administrator may not have enabled the feature for your endpoint.
• Your system administrator may have programmed your endpoint to block the fea-
ture.
Q14. If I need further assistance, how do I get technical support?
A14. First, contact the appropriate administrator (system, voice mail, or network) if you
