GETTING STARTED
If there is no answer or if the endpoint is busy when you place an intercom call,
you can do any of the following:
• To leave a station message: Press
Message or the LEAVE MESSAGE menu but-
ton and then hang up.
• To leave a voice mail message: Press
Message or the LEAVE VOICE MAIL
menu button and wait for the message center to answer.
NOTE: This option is only available if the called endpoint has a voice mailbox.
• To camp onto a busy extension: Stay on the line and wait for the endpoint to
become available. Do not hang up. After the system timer expires, you hear
music until the endpoint is available.
NOTE: You cannot camp on to an endpoint if it is in DND mode.
• To request a callback (queue on to the endpoint): Press and hang up.
When the endpoint is available, your endpoint rings. (To cancel the queue request
before the callback, press
.)
Receiving Intercom Calls
Your endpoint can receive both intercom and non-handsfree intercom calls. If the
handsfree feature is enabled on your endpoint, intercom calls are automatically
answered. Non-handsfree intercom calls (see page 45) override the handsfree option.
If your handsfree feature is disabled, or if you receive a non-handsfree intercom call,
you must pick up the handset or press the
Answer button to answer the call.
When you use Unified Communicator to route incoming calls to your endpoint, calls
will always ring the endpoint, even if you have chosen to use the handsfree feature.
Without this initial ring, your endpoint would terminate the routing of the call, poten-
tially preventing you from receiving the call on a cell phone or other device while you
are away from your desk.
To enable or disable your endpoint’s handsfree answering feature:
With the handset in the cradle, dial
.
To receive an intercom call:
If the handsfree feature is enabled, the call is automatically answered.
If the handsfree feature is disabled, either press the
Answer button to answer the call,
or lift the handset for privacy.
