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.

Inter-Tel® Model 8600 User Guide (ITP Mode)
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.”
