Message Lamp
Inter-Tel IP endpoints have a Message Lamp located on the upper, right-hand corner. This lamp
is programmable and is defaulted to the Message feature code, 365. If you change the feature
code associated with this lamp, it flashes when the feature is active. For example, if you pro-
gram the lamp for Individual Hold, feature code 336, the lamp flashes when a call is held at the
endpoint.
Speaker Buttons
On all Inter-Tel endpoints, except the Model 8000 Series endpoints, handsfree-mode volume is
controlled by a Speaker ( ) button. On Models 8600, 8620/8622, 8660, and 8662 end-
points, an illustration of a speaker ( ) represents the
Speaker button.
Hold Buttons
On all Inter-Tel endpoints, except the Model 8000 Series endpoints, the Hold feature is con-
trolled by a Hold ( ) button. On Models 8600, 8620/8622, 8660, and 8662 endpoints, the
international hold illustration ( ) represents the
Hold button.
Dialpad “Hot” Buttons vs. “SPCL Key Required for Feature Code Entry” Flag
Unless programmed to use the Special button when entering a feature code, all Inter-Tel end-
points have dialpad “hot” buttons that allow dialing of feature codes, extension numbers, and
trunk access codes without pressing the
Special button or lifting the handset. As soon as a dial-
pad digit is pressed, the digit is recognized by the system.
There is a system-wide option called “SPCL Key Required for Feature Code Entry” that, if
enabled, requires Inter-Tel endpoint users to always press the
Special button before entering a
feature code.
Regardless of programming, if an Inter-Tel endpoint user presses the
Special button while on-
hook, the display shows
ENTER FEATURE CODE, and the Executive Display, Professional
Display, or Model 8560 endpoint menu shows a list of feature codes. The user can enter the
wanted code or press a menu button.
Feature Codes
Each of the endpoint features is assigned a feature code. Using the endpoint’s dialpad, these
codes are entered to select trunks, process calls, and use special features. See the Reference
section for details.
The codes are the values that are assigned when the system is in the default state. If wanted,
they can be changed in Database (DB) Programming to any one- to five-digit value.
Changing
a feature code may affect the accessibility of other features.
• Trunk Access Codes: Used for selecting trunks when placing outgoing calls (see
page 315).
• Endpoint Feature Codes: Used to access features available on endpoints (see
page 316).
• Administrator Feature Codes: Used at Administrator endpoints to perform adminis-
trator functions, such as handling alarms and setting time or date (see page 322).
• Diagnostics Feature Codes: Used at Administrator endpoints to perform diagnostic
functions, such as creating freezes and printing message logs (see page 324).
