There are several types of ringers – all are answered the same way:

Group Speed Dial

This feature provides additional speed dialing capabilities beyond those provided by the Abbreviated Dial feature. With Group Speed Dialing, you have access to a common speed dial list of up to 1,000 entries managed by your service provider.

Group Speed Dial numbers are extension numbers that have been programmed to dial another number, usually an external number. Your service provider will provide you with a list of Group Speed Dial numbers and their destinations.

• One Ring – Internal (Extension-to-Extension) Calls and when the system

has called your extension to remind you or to notify you about something.

• Two Rings – External Calls

• Distinctive Rings – A different ring tone is provided for up to two

additional Direct Inward Dial (DID) numbers assigned to your telephone by the system administrator. These numbers do not appear as lines on your telephone, but ring your prime line with the appropriate ring when they are dialed.

• Priority Ring – The call screening feature allows users to designate

specific callers as important enough to ring through to their telephone even if Do Not Disturb is activated. A different ring tone is provided for calls assigned the Priority Call option. See “Priority Call” on page 42.

Incoming Intercom calls are announced by a brief dial-tone followed by the intercom tones. A tone is played every 60 seconds during active intercom calls.

Meet-Me Conference

If supported by your system, Meet-Me Conferencing provides the ability to schedule conference calls where the moderator (who has control of the conference) and other members (internal or external) call into the conference and are connected at the appropriate time to carry on the conference call.

Moderators can do any of the following:

• Schedule a conference

• Cancel a conference

• Modify a conference

• List all conferences

Check with your system administrator to find out if you are authorized to schedule Meet-Me Conferences. The default internal access number is 523, but check with your system administrator if the default does not work for your system. If a DID number was created for outside access, you can dial in from an external telephone to schedule Meet-Me Conferences. Your system administrator can provide you with the external access number.

Anyone can join Meet-Me Conferences from both internal and external telephones by dialing the correct numbers and entering the required ID. The default internal access number is 522, but your system may be different. Check with your system administrator for the internal access number you should use. If you need to join a Meet-Me Conference from outside the system, check with either the conference moderator (the person who set up the conference) or your system administrator to get the external access number for the Meet-Me Conference.

Joining a Meet-Me Conference

Joining a conference call is done by dialing the correct number and entering the Moderator or Guest ID. The system provides helpful prompts when dialing in too early or entering an incorrect ID. Only Moderators may extend a meet-me conference call.

When Mute is in effect, the moderator can still speak to all members of the conference, but members of the conference cannot heard. Also the moderator may leave and re-join the muted conference, but will not be muted (i.e., the moderator can still talk to conference members).

When a meet-me conference is muted, all parties in the conference hear an announcement that the conference has been muted.

Once Mute is enabled (before or during the conference call), anyone joining the active conference will be muted as soon as they are connected to the conference call. Callers joining the conference when mute is in effect hear an announcement that the conference is muted after the announcement that the conference is active. Members of the conference will hear the join tone and the caller’s name.

Locking a Conference Call

Locking a meet-me conference prevents additional callers from joining the conference. Unlocking the conference allows additional callers to join the conference.

The Selective Caller List is a list of up to ten codes. Each code must be 10-digits. When required, a caller enters the code followed by the # key.

NOTE: When creating the codes for the Selective Caller List, you want codes that are

easy for the caller to remember and use. If the code will be used for an individual, you might want to use the phone number most commonly used by that person. If it is for a group of people or a business, use a number that will be easy for them to use and you to recognize, such as a main business number.

Caller Actions

When Privacy Guard is enabled, calls that do not have any Caller ID information are automatically answered and the caller hears an announcement followed by a series of prompts.

The announcement explains you do not accept unidentified calls and that their Caller ID information was not received. They are instructed to do one of the following:

• Press 1 to enter an access code.

• Press 2 to record their name so that the call can be announced, .

If they enter anything other than the menu options, they will be prompted two more times to enter a valid menu option. If they do not select a valid option in the allowed time, the call is dropped.

Entering an Access Code

If a caller presses 1, they are asked to enter an access code, which can be either the Access Code or one of the codes in the Selective Call List, followed by the # key. A prompt tells them to wait while the call is completed.

Linksys SPA-941 Telephone User Guide System Telephone Features 45 620-05600390

Privacy Guard

If an invalid access code is entered, the caller will be prompted two more times to enter a valid access code. If they do not enter a valid access in the allowed time, the call is dropped.

Recording a Name

If a caller presses 2, they are asked to record either their name or their company name and press the # key. After playing the beep, the system will record up to 5 seconds.

When the user presses # or the recording time ends, a prompt tells them to wait while the call is completed.

The system records whatever is spoken during the 5 seconds, which can be either the caller’s name or silence. If the caller does not record a name, no name will be spoken when you answer the call.

Answering Privacy Guard Call

Once a caller has entered an access code or recorded their name, the call will ring on your phone. If you have a display and receive caller ID information, you will see “From Privacy Guard” on the display. If the caller entered an access code, the access code digits will be displayed also.

If the caller entered an access code, your telephone rings normally and you are connected to the caller when you answer the call.

If the caller recorded their name, your telephone rings with a priority ring. When you answer the call, a prompt is played that announces the call and offers the following options:

• Press 1 to answer the call.

• Press 2 to play an announcement to the caller that you are unavailable.

• Press 3 to transfer the caller to voice mail.

NOTE: Option 3 will be available if you have a voice mail button on your telephone for

your voice mail mailbox or for another voice mail mailbox, such as the main number (attendant phone) or another person’s mailbox (executive assistant phone). However, if you do not have your own mailbox and choose this option, you will get reorder (fast busy). If you do not have a voice mail button on your phone, this option is not available.

• Press 4 to deliver a message that you do not accept sales or soliciation

calls and you are not to be called again.

The Remote Phone feature provides the capability to set up a remote phone to act as if it were your VoIP phone. Instead of placing and receiving calls from your VoIP phone, calls are made and answered from the Remote Phone.

For example, if you configure your cell phone to be your remote phone, all calls coming into your VoIP phone would ring at your desk and on your cell phone simultaneously.

For this feature to be available, a Remote button must be provided on your VoIP phone by your service provider. However, the VoIP phone does not have to be in service for the Remote Phone feature to be operational.

W A R N I N G

If you dial an emergency number (such as 911) from the remote phone while it is in remote mode (the phone will be playing on-hold music), an announcement tells you that number is not allowed from Remote Phone and advises you to hang up the phone and try again. Until you hang up the phone and disconnect from the Remote Phone feature, you will receive the announcement.

There are two ways to enable the Remote Phone feature:

• by dialing a special DID number, or

• through the Web Portal under Options > Remote

Linksys SPA-941 Telephone User Guide System Telephone Features 51 620-05600390

Remote Phone

Dial-in Setup of Remote Phone

To set up a remote phone by dialing in, you must call using the remote phone where your VoIP phone calls will be forwarded.

1. From the remote phone (example, your cell phone or a hotel phone), dial the Remote Phone access DID number.

Your service provider should have provided this number to you.

2. Enter the phone number of your VoIP phone followed by the pound sign (#).

EXAMPLE:

3. Enter the password for your VoIP phone followed by #.

4. DO NOT hang up the destination phone. Leave it off-hook.

5. If a call comes in, press star (*) to answer the call.

6. Disconnect from a call by pressing “###”, which will leave the Remote Phone

active (you will hear hold music playing).

NOTE: Be aware that if you are using a cell phone, the phone is still in an active call.

9723353421# or 9723352100*2001# for Non-DID numbers.

Deactivating Dial-up Remote Phone

If you hang up the remote phone, it will disconnect the call and deactivate the Remote Phone mode.

Web Portal Setup of Remote Phone

The remote phone feature can be activated via the Web Portal by selecting Options > Remote. You must check the box labeled Enable Remote User, then enter the phone number of the remote phone (for example, a cell phone or hotel phone number).

From the Web Portal, you can check a box to Enable Remote Caller ID. When checked, the caller’s Caller ID will display on your remote phone display (if it has one). When unchecked, your IP phone number will be displayed. This way, when you see your own VoIP phone number on the Caller ID, you will know that it is an incoming remote call.

You can also set the number of seconds the phone will ring unanswered before the call is redirected to voice mail or other destination.

Phone number through the Web Portal, when you click “Save”, it will disconnect your current remote phone call.

In the Web Portal, when the Auto Enable When Phone OOS checkbox is checked, the system will automatically enable Remote Phone and route calls to the Remote Phone number when the phone is out of service. The Remote Phone feature will not be auto-enabled until a call arrives after the phone has been declared out of service. If a call arrives at the phone before the Call Agent has determined the phone is out of service, the Call Agent will send the call to the No Answer destination. As soon as the Call Agent determines the phone is out of service, the Remote Phone feature will be automatically enabled and all further calls will be sent to the Remote Phone number.

When the phone with Auto Enable When Phone OOS checked returns to service after the outage, Remote Phone is not disabled. Both the phone and Remote Phone will ring for each incoming call. The user must disable remote mode using the Web Portal or by pressing the Remote button on the phone.

Deactivating Remote Phone via Web Portal

To completely deactivate the Remote Phone mode, you must uncheck the Enable Remote User checkbox on the Web Portal or press the Remote button on your VoIP phone.

If you just hang up the remote phone, it will disconnect the call, but Remote Phone mode will still be enabled. The next call coming in to your VoIP phone will ring the remote phone.

Feature Interaction: Remote Phone with Find-Me

The Remote Phone mode works in conjunction with the Find-Me function that will transfer the call to each phone you have listed in your Find-Me list. When your VoIP phone is in Remote Phone mode, and you have Find-Me set up, first the call will try ringing the remote phone. If it is not answered, the Find-Me function takes over and will try the next numbers in your Find-Me list.

If you set up Remote Phone from the Web Portal, and you do not answer so FindMe takes over, then Remote Phone mode will remain enabled and the next call coming in will also ring the remote phone.

Selective Call Forward

Selective Call Forward allows you to program your phone to send calls from a list of telephone numbers to another telephone number. All calls from phones on the list go to the same destination, which can be changed at any time.

Linksys SPA-941 Telephone User Guide System Telephone Features 53 620-05600390
