Making and receiving calls is the basic purpose of any endpoint. With your Model
8690 endpoint, 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 endpoint in your 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 an endpoint’s speaker, speak after you
hear a double tone.
If you hear continuous ringing, wait for the call to be answered.
The system allows you to place a call that will force the extension you are calling to
ring.
To place a call that will ring at the other endpoint until answered:
Press
before dialing the extension number.
NOTE: Dialing before the extension number forces the called extension to ring
and overrides the handsfree option.
To program your endpoint to always send non-handsfree calls using the Ring
Intercom Always feature:
With the handset in the cradle, dial
. The current status is shown.
CAUTION
Consult your system administrator and your local Inter-Tel servicing company for
important information about dialing emergency services from your Model 8690
endpoint before you begin using it.
