Model 8690 User Guide (ITP Mode)
FINDING YOUR WAY
WELCOME
Your new Model 8690 endpoint provides access to several features, each of which is
described in this guide. The Inter-Tel multi-protocol endpoints support two different
modes of network protocols, and can operate in either Inter-Tel Protocol (ITP) mode
or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) mode. The operating mode determines which fea-
tures and options are enabled on the endpoint. This guide is for the Model 8690 end-
point operating in ITP mode. If your endpoint is configured to operate in SIP mode,
request a copy of the Model 8690 User Guide: Session Initiation Protocol Mode (part
number 550.8025) from your system administrator.
The About This Guide section below lists the different sections in this user guide and
describes the type of information you can find there.
ABOUT THIS GUIDE

ing:
• Finding Your Way: This section provides you with a picture of the Model 8690
endpoint and includes general information designed to help you find what you
need.
• Getting Started: This section includes basic endpoint and voice mail informa-
tion, and provides instructions on how to perform everyday tasks, such as
answering calls, making calls, and using voice mail.

mail features.

munication features available with Unified Communicator
®

advanced messaging features available with E-Mail Reader.
• Learning More: This section outlines how your administrators can help if you
experience a problem with your endpoint. It also provides you with a list of Fre-
quently Asked Questions (FAQs) so you can troubleshoot problems and learn
more about the system.
In addition, this guide contains a list of default feature codes (see page 139) and an
index (see page 143) for easy reference.
NOTE: Because the telephone system is very flexible and programmable, the proce-
dures for using the features might vary slightly from the descriptions in this guide. If so,
your trainer or system administrator can tell you how your system differs and how to
use the features.
