•The parties connected to the conference call remain connected to each
other while you add additional parties. They may carry on a conversation
with each other while you finish adding parties to the conference.
•Even if the call initiator disconnects, any of the other parties (who have
the conference feature) can use it to add new parties.
•To place a conference call on hold, flash the switchhook and hang up. The
other parties can talk among themselves but they can’t hear you. Pick up
the handset to re-join the conference.
•When you put the call on hold, a beeping tone automatically sounds every

•Flash the switchhook.
•Press *08.
•Dial the number to which you want to transfer the call.
•Flash the switchhook again.
Dial Tone and Ringer Patterns
The T6000 telephone system generates different ringer and dial tones, depending
on call conditions.
There are two types of dial tone:
•Internal Dial Tone – A continuous, higher-pitched tone
•External (Outside) Dial Tone – A continuous, lower-pitched tone
Business Analog Telephone User GuideTelephone Features17
620-05600190
Page 29
There are four types of ringers – all are answered the same way:
•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.
Direct Extension Assignment
This feature lets you program another telephone in the same corporate system to
be your telephone. For example, you are visiting a branch office for an extended
business trip and you want to program a “guest” telephone to ring as your
telephone while you are there. This feature requires your old phone and the “new/
guest” phone to be the same type of phone.
Programming a Guest Phone
To program a guest phone to act as your phone, follow these steps:
1.From the guest /new phone, dial 588 (or the code provided by your system
administrator). You are prompted to enter the telephone number which you
want that phone to be (Presumably, your “original/old” phone number).
2.Enter your complete 10-digit telephone number, followed by the # key. You
are prompted to enter a password. The password default is the last four digits
of the phone number entered in this step.
3.Enter your password, followed by the # key. The phone is now programmed
to be your phone and your old phone is removed from service.
NOTE: When you reassign your telephone number to the new phone, the
button template from your “old” phone is assigned to the “new” phone.
Re-establishing the Guest Phone
To reset the guest phone to its original number, follow the steps to program a
phone, using the original phone number and password of the guest phone.
Re-establishing Your Old Phone
Once you have programmed another phone with your old phone’s extension, you
must reconfigure your old phone before using it. Your old phone displays the
message “Pickup handset to configure”. Pickup the handset and perform the
following steps:
18Telephone FeaturesBusiness Analog Telephone User Guide
620-05600190
Page 30
1.Enter your old 10-digit phone number, followed by the # key. You are
prompted to enter a password.
2.Enter the password, followed by the # key. (Your password is typically the last
four digits of your phone number.) The phone is now programmed back to its
original extension.
Do Not Disturb
Do Not Disturb instantly routes all your incoming calls to another destination (your
voice mailbox, the main operator, your secretary, a co-worker, etc.), but still lets you
make calls and use other telephone features. With Do Not Disturb enabled, the
phone will not ring when a call comes in.
Tips for using Do Not Disturb
You can record a special voice mail greeting for callers to hear if your calls go to
voice mail when you activate the Do Not Disturb feature. See Chapter 4, “Voice Mail Features (Default Menu)” for more information.
The Do Not Disturb destination where incoming calls are sent can be changed by
your system administrator.
Enabling/Disabling Do Not Disturb
The same star code is used to enable and disable Do Not Disturb since you are
switching between the on and off mode for this feature.
1.To enable or disable Do Not Disturb, pick up the handset and press *04 on
the telephone keypad.
2.Hang up the handset.
When Do Not Disturb is enabled, you will hear the words “private, private, private”
when you pick up the handset on your phone to remind you that the phone is in
DnD mode.
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 system
administrator.
Group Speed Dial numbers are extension numbers that have been programmed to
dial another number, usually an external number. Your system administrator will
provide you with a list of Group Speed Dial numbers and their destinations.

Hunt Groups
The Hunt Group feature allows the T6000 system to distribute calls made to a
specific "pilot" number or to any member of a defined group based on the specified
hunting order. Your system administrator or manager should tell you if you are a
member of a hunt group and who the other members are.
Intercom Calls (Receive Only)
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 (except for MGCP
phones).

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.

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.

Privacy Guard
Privacy Guard is a call screening service that works with Caller ID to identify all
incoming calls that have no Caller ID, such as calls that are Anonymous,
Unavailable, Out-of-Area, or Private. It forces callers to identify themselves by
entering an access code or recording their name in order to complete the call. You
will know who is calling and have four options for handling the call.
return to the Priority Call menu.
Access Codes
Privacy Guard provides the ability to create two kinds of access codes that you can
give to family members, friends or business associates to allow them to identify
themselves if they call and their caller ID is not available. You decide who gets
which code.
For phones with a display, access codes are shown on the display as shown:
Privacy Guard (<access code>)
The Access Code is a 3-digit code that, when required, is entered followed by the
# key. There is only one Access Code.
The Selective Caller List is a list of up to ten codes. Each cost must be 10-digits.
When required, a caller enters the code followed by the # key.
HINT:
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.

620-05600190
Page 46
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.
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.

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 IP 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.
The Web Portal will only show the Remote Phone enabled status if the remote
phone was activated from the Web Portal. If the remote phone was enabled by

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

service, the Remote Phone feature will be automatically enabled and all further
calls will be sent to the Remote Phone number.

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 IP
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.
If you set up Remote Phone using the direct inward dial number, then when you do
not answer the remote phone, the Remote Phone mode will be disabled. Any
subsequent calls will ring your IP phone.
Selective Call Forward

Voice Mail Features (Default Menu)
The VoIP voice mail system stores messages in your personal voice mailbox from
callers who are unable to speak with you, and provides an indication that voice mail
has arrived. The handset indicator on the Cisco IP Phone telephone lights when
new or unsaved voice messages are stored in your mailbox.
You can access the voice mail system on your phone by picking up the handset
and dialing *09 or pressing the Messages button, if available.
System settings determine the number (and length) of voice mail messages that
are stored in your voice mailbox. If supported by your system, callers can press “0”
while they are “in” your mailbox to transfer to your main number or operator.
The voice mail system also provides both personal and group distribution lists
which let you send a voice mail to a defined group of people as easily as sending
a voice mail to a single user. Combining the ability to compose a voice mail
message before sending it with a distribution list, you can easily create and send a
voice mail message to multiple users or lists.
NOTE:

will not be stored. You must delete some old voice mail messages to receive
any more.
The voice mail system can only save a maximum of 200 messages. If

•Cell phones support voice streaming.
•Some cell phone models can receive text-only e-mails.
•E-mail pagers can accept text-only e-mail messages.

immediately dials your pager or cellular phone. The system tries to reach you every
five minutes, up to three times if you don’t answer. If you take the call, but you don’t
enter digits at the prompt, the system acts like you never answered the call and
continues trying to reach you as stated above. If you have caller id, your “office”
phone number/name is displayed as the caller.

Voice Mail Features (Option A Menu)
The VoIP voice mail system stores messages in your personal voice mailbox from
callers who are unable to speak with you, and provides an indication that voice mail
has arrived. The handset indicator on the Cisco IP Phone telephone lights when
new or unsaved voice messages are stored in your mailbox.
You can access the voice mail system on your phone by picking up the handset
and dialing *09 or pressing the Messages button, if available.
System settings determine the number (and length) of voice mail messages that
are stored in your voice mailbox. If supported by your system, callers can press “0”
while they are “in” your mailbox to transfer to your main number or operator.
The voice mail system also provides both personal and group distribution lists
which let you send a voice mail to a defined group of people as easily as sending
a voice mail to a single user. Combining the ability to compose a voice mail
message before sending it with a distribution list, you can easily create and send a
voice mail message to multiple users or lists.
NOTE:
you have 200 old messages and you receive a new voice mail message, it
will not be stored. You must delete some old voice mail messages to receive
any more.

Voice Mail Features (Option B Menu)
The VoIP voice mail system stores messages in your personal voice mailbox from
callers who are unable to speak with you, and provides an indication that voice mail
has arrived. The handset indicator on the Cisco IP Phone telephone lights when
new or unsaved voice messages are stored in your mailbox.
You can access the voice mail system on your phone by picking up the handset
and dialing *09 or pressing the Messages button, if available.
System settings determine the number (and length) of voice mail messages that
are stored in your voice mailbox. If supported by your system, callers can press “0”
while they are “in” your mailbox to transfer to your main number or operator.
The voice mail system also provides both personal and group distribution lists
which let you send a voice mail to a defined group of people as easily as sending
a voice mail to a single user. Combining the ability to compose a voice mail
message before sending it with a distribution list, you can easily create and send a
voice mail message to multiple users or lists.
NOTE:
you have 200 old messages and you receive a new voice mail message, it
will not be stored. You must delete some old voice mail messages to receive
any more.
