FINDING YOUR WAY
NOTE: By default, the message lamp is programmed to light whe n you receive a new
voice mail message. However, this lamp can be programmed for other functions. Check
with your system administrator if you are unsure what your endpoint’s lamp is programmed to indicate.
Power Requirements
The Model 8662 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
8662:
•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.

Inter-Tel® Model 8662 User Guide (ITP Mode)
Endpoint Connectors
The Model 8662 has dedicated headset and handset jacks located on the back of the
endpoint used to connect a handset or headset. In addition to the headset and handset
jacks, the endpoint has connectors that are required for an IP endpoint. Two lightemitting diodes (LEDs) on the PC port and LAN/Power jack indicate link status and
the speed of the connections. The Model 8662 endpoint connectors include:
•Headset Jack: Connects to a headset.
•Handset Jack: Connects to a handset.
•Personal Computer (PC) Port: Connects to a PC or any other 10/100 Ethernet
device.
•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 comes 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
updates when a new version of software or firmware is available.
Your endpoint may be configured to download firmware and software updates from a
configured server automatically. If so, your endpoint will periodically check the
server to see if any updates are available. When an update is available, the endpoint
downloads it automatically.
FINDING YOUR WAY
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.
Inter-Tel® Model 8662 User Guide (ITP Mode)
CAUTION
7
During the download process several messages are shown on the display that indicate
the status of the download. The final display message, FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD
SUCCESS or BOOT DOWNLOAD SUCCESS indicates that the software or firmware update was downloaded successfully. Immediately following the download your
endpoint will re-synchronize with the telephone system by performing a reset.
FINDING YOUR WAY
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. In addition, the endpoint
displays several messages while it connects with the telephone system. When the display returns to your extension number, your username, the time of day, and the date,
the reset is complete and you can use your endpoint again.
NOTE: During a reset, your endpoint (and all connected devices) lose connectivity with
the network for approximately 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 reaches 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 group of
people by entering one number instead of everyone’s individual mailbox number.
8
Inter-Tel® Model 8662 User Guide (ITP Mode)
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 75 for information and instructions about using E-Mail Reader features.
For a voice mail flowchart for advanced mailbox users, see page 87.
•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 105.

Enterprise Messaging
Enterprise Messaging (EM) is the Inter-Tel messaging system that uses industry-standard protocols for communication and messaging. EM unifies communication and
messaging by providing access to voice mail, fax, and e-mail messages in your mail-
FINDING YOUR WAY
box. 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 9). For more information about ASR, see page 11.
•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 informa-
tion and instructions about how to use E-Mail Reader features, see the Using E-Mail Reader section, starting on page 78.
Consult your voice mail administrator to see if ASR and/or E-Mail Reader is enabled
for your mailbox.
10
NOTE: EM also includes Unified Messaging inbound and outbound faxing capabilities.
For information and instructions about Unified Messaging features, see Issue 2.3 of the
Unified Messaging User Guide, part number 550.8121.
Inter-Tel® Model 8662 User Guide (ITP Mode)
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
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 enabled for your mailbox. 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.
•Use the handset when issuing spoken commands. Your endpoint’s speaker can
pick up background noise and other sounds, which may cause the system to misinterpret a command.
•Voice mail command words are shown on display endpoints. If your endpoint has
a display and you don’t hear the command word when the prompt is announced,
look at the display for the appropriate voice command.
•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 ASR. The silence
that follows your voice command replaces the button.
•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 access 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 79). 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 SEEAND HEAR
As you can see, your Model 8662 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:
FINDING YOUR WAY
•A red lamp indicates that a call is ringing, holding, or active on your endpoint.
•The endpoint’s 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 ().
•If you hear four fast tones or repeating fast tones (reorder tone), you have pressed
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. Systems
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 make a call,
but you must go “on-hook” to end a call.
SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY
Depending upon which software version your telephone system is using, some of the
features included in this guide may not be available for your endpoint. 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 Model 8662 is compatible with the following Inter-Tel software:
Now that you know what your Model 8662 endpoint can do, it’s time to start using it.
In this section, you’ll learn how to make and receive calls, transfer calls, retrieve
voice mail messages, and much more.
ADJUSTING YOUR ENDPOINT’S VIEWING ANGLE
Your Model 8662 has an adjustable base that allows you to tilt your endpoint to
enhance the viewing angle.
To adjust the viewing angle of the endpoint:
1. Position the bottom of the endpoint’s base on a flat surface.
2. Tilt the endpoint to the desired angle.
3. Place the “feet” of the support mechanism in the holes on the base to secure the
position of the endpoint.
GETTING STARTED

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 system greeting may also
include, “After the tone, please record your message. When finished, you may hang
up to deliver the message or press pound for more options.”

MAKINGAND RECEIVING CALLS
Making and receiving calls is the basic purpose of any endpoint. With your Model

Consult your system administrator and your local Inter-Tel servicing company for
important information about dialing emergency services from your Model 8662
before you begin using it.

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

handset to answer the call.
