Introduction
The Inter-Tel system, in addition to its sleek, modular appearance and easy installation and
programming, provides many user-friendly features. To describe the system features, this chap-
ter has been divided into the following sections:
• Access to the Features: This section contains a list of the feature codes and their defi-
nitions.
• System Organization: This section describes possible administrator assignments,
Attendant arrangements, and hunt groups (including UCD and ACD hunt groups).
• Trunk Features: This section explains the trunk functions and programmable features,
including: dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) or dial-pulse signaling; types of trunks
(loop start, T1/E1/PRI); Caller ID, DNIS, and ANI; trunk groups; outgoing access,
allowed-answer, and ring-in assignments; call routing tables; day and night modes of
operation; automatic route selection (ARS); trunk and toll restriction; area/office code
number plans; emergency calls; and direct inward system access (DISA).
• Endpoints: This section describes the endpoint supported by the system. Available end-
points include IP endpoints operating on Inter-Tel Protocol (ITP), IP Single-Line
Adapters (IP SLAs), SIP endpoints, Mini-DSS (Direct Station Select) Units, and single
line endpoints such as single line telephones, answering machines, and FAX machines.
• Intercom, Outside, and General Call Processing Features: Several sections explain
the use of the endpoint features that are available to all endpoint users, including inter-
com call features, outside call features, and general call processing features.
• Attendant Features: This section explains the special Attendant-only features.
• Administrator Features: This section explains the special Administrator-only features.
• Record Keeping and Maintenance Features: A system error reporting feature pro-
vides self-diagnostic information to make the system easier to service.
Access to the Features
Inter-Tel endpoints have feature buttons that allow one-button dialing of feature codes. Infor-
mation is programmed in the database to determine the arrangement of the feature buttons and
their default values. If desired, some of the endpoint feature buttons can be designated as user-
programmable buttons. See page 137 for more information.
Special Button and Hookflash
Depending on the feature and system programming, users can either enter feature codes imme-
diately after lifting the handset or while on-hook, or they must signal the system before enter-
ing the feature code. Inter-Tel endpoint users signal the system by pressing the Special button
(which is represented by on the endpoint). Single line DTMF endpoint users perform a
hookflash (press and release the hookswitch quickly). If the user does not enter a code or begin
dialing before the Dial Initiation timer expires, the system sends reorder tones.
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 (336), the lamp flashes when a call is held at the endpoint.
