Display

Your Standard Display phone has two lines of display with 16 characters per line. When your phone is idle, this display shows your extension number, your user name, the time of day, and the date. At other times, it may display reminder messages, Do­Not-Disturb (DND) messages, numbers dialed, call sources, elapsed time of calls, cur­rent call costs, error messages, etc.
NOTE: The Basic Digital Phone does not have a display.

Because the display can only support 16 characters, you may see a few abbreviations. The most commonly used abbreviations are provided in the table below.

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 41). 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 “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.
NOTE: You cannot delete messages that are sent using group lists (see page 32).

WHAT YOU SEE AND HEAR

As you can see, your Standard Display or Basic Digital 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 phone models have red/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 is not 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.
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
CNF
unlit ( ), lit, ( ), or flashing ( ).
“Off-hook” means that either the handset is lifted or the speakerphone is on
SPKR
( 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 is lit when using a directory or entering a message, you are in alphanu-
MSG
meric mode, which allows you to enter letters. If is unlit, you are in 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.

MAKING AND RECEIVING CALLS

Making and receiving calls is the basic purpose of any phone. With your Standard Display or Basic Digital 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:
#
Press before dialing the extension number.
To program your phone to always send non-handsfree calls using the Ring Inter­com Always feature:
With the handset in the cradle, dial
To leave a message if there is no answer or the phone is busy:

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 and hang up. When the
6
phone is available, your phone rings. (To cancel the queue request before the call­back, press
6
.)
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:

With the Group Listen feature, you can transmit a conversation over the speaker while you use the handset or headset to continue speaking. This allows other people to hear the caller while the caller can only hear you.
NOTE: You cannot use this feature on a handsfree call. You must be on a call using

the handset or a headset before entering the feature code.
To turn the group listen feature on or off during a call:

. You hear a confirmation tone (the other party does
not hear this tone).

NOTE: If you are using the handset, the key lamp will remain unlit, even
though the speaker is on. This allows you to place the call into handsfree mode at any time during the call by pressing and hanging up. If you are using a headset, however, the key lamp is lit. Pressing will disconnect the call.

Enhanced Speakerphone Mode

The Enhanced Speakerphone Mode improves transmission quality while on a speak­erphone call over a limited volume level range (typically the range is 1 to 3).
NOTE: To use this feature, the System Administrator or installer must program your
phone for Enhanced Speakerphone Mode.
To enable enhanced speakerphone mode while on a call:
EITHER, Press and then .
OR, Press
and dial . The speakerphone will return to standard
3
mode when you end the call.
There will be about one second of white noise while the speakerphone circuitry is cal­ibrated to the call. (Both parties should avoid speaking during this white noise.) If the speakerphone cannot be calibrated correctly, displays show CANNOT ENABLE ENHANCED MODE.
NOTE: 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. Also, on some long-distance calls, the outside party may hear his or her own echo when speaking to a Digital Phone. If the amount of echo is objectionable, do not use the Enhanced Speakerphone Mode.

USING THE MESSAGE KEY

In today’s busy world, it’s almost guaranteed that you will call someone that is on another call, does not answer, or is in DND. But, with the key, you can let the other person know you called.
When you leave a message, you can:
Have the called party return your call. When the party you called responds to the message indication, a call is automatically placed to your phone.
Leave a message with the called party’s message center, (which can be a per­son or voice mail). When the party you called responds to the message, a call is
automatically placed to his or her message center instead of your phone.
To indicate that a message is waiting, your phone’s key flashes, and the dis­play shows the number of waiting messages.

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:
DEFAULT MESSAGE NEW MESSAGE DEFAULT MESSAGE NEW MESSAGE
01 DO-NOT-DISTURB 11 OUT OF TOWN ’TIL
02 LEAVE A MESSAGE 12 OUT OF OFFICE
03 IN MEETING UNTIL 13 OUT UNTIL
04 IN MEETING 14 WITH A CLIENT

07 CALL ME AT 17 IN CONFERENCE
08 AT THE DOCTOR 18 AWAY FROM DESK
09 ON A TRIP 19 GONE HOME
10 ON BREAK 20 OUT TO LUNCH
GETTING STARTED
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 with a display phone will then see, “IN MEETING UNTIL 3:30.”

(display phones only).

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 Axxess 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 speakerphone level for an intercom call, you must be on a handsfree intercom call.
To change a volume level:
Press the high or low end of the Volume key to increase or decrease the volume.
To save your change:
Press both ends of the Volume key at the same time.
MOVING ON
38
Selecting a Ring Tone

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.
You can also program messages using English/Spanish or Japanese characters, or a combination of both (see page 57 for a list of characters). In displayed lists, such as directories, the English/Spanish characters are alphabetized before the Japanese char­acters.
To change the assigned language for your phone:

Voice Mail Options

Your voice mailbox contains personal options that allow you to customize your per­sonal greetings, directory name, password, etc.
NOTE: You cannot change your personal options until you have initialized your mail-
box (see page 10).
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 (press 0 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 return your call when I return. Thank you.

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. Once programmed, you can then quickly dial these numbers by entering a feature code and 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 52).

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:

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:
3
Dial

ACD Hunt Groups

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 to that ACD hunt group bypass the agent.

#
display shows AGENT LOGGED INTO ALL ACDS. You are logged into the ACD hunt group(s) that you requested.

Axxess Standard Display and Basic Digital Phone User Guide
When you log in to a group, you may be automatically connected to a call after you 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.
NOTE: Even if the ACD Agent ID Automatic Connect option is enabled, the first call
you receive (after you log in or remove your phone from DND while logged in) will ring until you answer it. You will, however, be automatically connected to subsequent calls.
To log out of one or more ACD hunt group:

Ending an ACD Hunt Group Call
Each time you end an ACD hunt group call, a wrap-up timer is started. Until this timer expires, you will not receive another call through any ACD hunt group. You can, however, end the wrap-up session before this timer expires, as described below.
To terminate the ACD Agent wrap-up period before the timer expires:

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.

WHAT THE ADMINISTRATORS CAN DO FOR 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)

— 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 (FAQ)

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 48).
Q2. How do I change the time and date on my phone?
A2. Only your System Administrator can change the time and date. 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 43).
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 30). 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.
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 to scroll up.
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 all versions).
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. If I need further assistance, how do I get technical support?
A10. 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 is handled at the local level.
