Selectable Ring Tone
The tone of the endpoint ring signals (all tones except call waiting) can be changed by the user
to create distinctive ringing. If endpoints are placed close together, changing the tone makes
each endpoint’s ring easier to recognize. On all Inter-Tel endpoints, the tone is changed by
entering a feature code and a code, as described below.
There are ten ring tone options (0–9). Selection 0 will turn off the ring signals.
To change endpoint ring tone:
1. While on-hook, enter the Program Ring Tone feature code (398). The display shows
SELECT RING TYPE (0–9) OR SCROLL.
2. To select a specific ring tone: Press a number in the range 1–9 for the ring tone you
want. The display shows
RING TYPE X SELECTED.
To scroll through the tones: Press the low end of the Volume button or the
PREVIOUS
button to scroll backward through the tones. Press the high end of the Volume button or
the
NEXT button to scroll forward. (You cannot scroll to selection 0, you must enter it
as described below.) The display shows
RING TYPE X SELECTED.
To turn off ringing: Enter or press the
RINGER OFF menu button. The display
shows
RING TYPE OFF SELECTED.
3. Lift and replace the handset or press the pound button ( ), both ends of the Volume
button, or the
ACCEPT button to exit. The selected tone will be heard when the end-
point rings (unless ringing was disabled). The display shows
RING TYPE X SAVED.
Default Endpoint Identification on Display
When a display endpoint is idle, the extension number, username, time, and date are displayed.
While on a call, in Do-Not-Disturb, or unconditionally forwarded, other information appears
on the display. To redisplay the default ID, use the following procedure.
To display the date, time, username, and extension number:
On a Model 8600, 8620, 8660, or 8662 endpoint, press the
Special button and enter the
Display Time/Date feature code (300). The date, time, username, extension number, and
endpoint status are displayed for 5 seconds. If the endpoint is operating in SIP mode,
entering code 300 will display the IP address of the endpoint.
“All Transient Displays” Endpoint Flag
The “All Transient Displays” endpoint flag, when enabled, allows all transient call handling
displays to appear on the endpoint display. If it is disabled, the
CALL TRANSFERRED TO
XXXX
and MESSAGE LEFT FOR XXXX transient displays does not appear.
Each transient display appears for 5 seconds before another display can take its place. Dis-
abling the flag allows high-traffic stations such as attendants to change displays more quickly
after a message is left by the endpoint user or after a call is transferred.
This endpoint option cannot be programmed by the user. It is a database-programmable flag.
