your phone is idle, this display shows your extension number, your username, the
time of day, and the date. At other times, it may display Do-Not-Disturb (DND) messages, numbers dialed, call sources, elapsed time of calls, current call costs, error

Message Indicator Lamp
The message indicator lamp (located at the top, right-hand corner of the phone) shows
the same indications as the MSG button. This indicator flashes whenever there is a
waiting message.

Power Requirements
The Model 8620 Phone requires either an individual power supply unit or a centralized power source to power the phone. Check with your system administrator about
the specific power requirements for your phone.
Before connecting a power supply unit, make sure it is compatible with your phone.
The following individual power supply units are compatible with the Model 8620
Phone:
•

Inter-Tel Power Supply Unit (Part Number 806.1114)

•

Red Hawk Single Port PowerSense™ (Part Number 901.0407)

•

An industry-standard IEEE 802.3 Power Supply Unit

It is recommended that you plug your phone’s individual power supply unit into an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). If your phone’s power supply unit is not
plugged into a UPS and the power fails, the current phone call will be dropped.
NOTE: Contact your system administrator to order a new power supply unit for your
phone.

Your system may be configured to use a centralized power source (power over Ethernet) rather than an individual power supply unit. Your system administrator will
explain how to connect your phone to the centralized power source. If your phone
uses power over Ethernet, do not connect an individual power supply unit to the
phone.

Axxess® Model 8620 Phone User Guide – Axxess IP Mode

Voice mail is an application that is part of the Inter-Tel Voice Processor. With the
voice mail application, you and other callers can send and receive recorded messages
from any station, touchtone telephone, or other device on the phone system. To use
this and other features, each user is assigned a “voice mailbox,” which usually corresponds to a valid extension number. You can, however, have an “unassociated” mailbox that does not correspond to an extension. Unassociated mailboxes are typically
used for agents or other personnel who don’t have a permanent office.
With your voice mailbox, you can use personal or system greetings to let callers know
if you are out of town, on a call, etc. (see page 12). If a caller reaches your voice mailbox, they can leave a message, hang up, or access an attendant.
In addition, the voice mail administrator can program the name for “group lists” of
mailboxes. With these lists, you can send a message to a group of people by entering
one number instead of everyone’s individual mailbox number.
NOTE: You cannot cancel unheard (unretrieved) messages that are sent using group
lists (see page 33).

SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY
Your Model 8620 Phone is compatible with the following Inter-Tel software:
•

Axxess system software V8.1 and later

•

Unified Communicator® V2.1 and later

•

CT Gateway V4.1 and later

FINDING YOUR WAY

ABOUT VOICE MAIL

FINDING YOUR WAY

WHAT YOU SEE AND HEAR
Your Model 8620 Phone and the telephone system come equipped with many features. To help you understand what everything means, it is recommended that you
read the following information before you use your phone:

8

•

A red lamp indicates that a call is ringing, holding, or active on your phone.

•

The phone’s lamps may be solidly lit or flashing to indicate the status of a call or
feature. To avoid confusion, this guide uses different icons to signify that a lamp
is unlit ( CNF ), lit, ( CNF ), or flashing ( CNF ).

•

If you hear four fast tones or repeating fast tones (reorder tone), you have pressed
an invalid button combination, tried to select a restricted line, dialed a restricted
or invalid number, dialed too slowly between digits, or waited too long before
performing the next step. Hang up and try again.

•

Your telephone system may be programmed for one or two dial tones. Systems
with two dial tones have one for intercom calls and one for outside calls.

•

Many features “time out” if you wait too long before performing the next step. If
this happens, you must hang up and start over.

•

“Off-hook” means that the handset is lifted, and “on-hook” indicates that the
handset is in the cradle. For example, you must first go “off-hook” to make a call,
but you must go “on-hook” to end a call.

CAUTION
Consult your system administrator and your local Inter-Tel servicing company for
important information about dialing emergency services from your Model 8620
Phone before you begin using it.

GETTING STARTED

Intercom Calls
Your extension number allows other people to place intercom calls to you, without
dialing any extra codes. And, because every phone in your phone system is assigned
an extension number, you can call other people in your system quickly and easily.
NOTE: Ask your system administrator for a list of extensions.

Placing Intercom Calls
To place an intercom call:
1. With or without the handset lifted, dial an extension number.
2. If your call goes through handsfree to a phone’s speaker, speak after you hear a
double tone.
If you hear continuous ringing, wait for the call to be answered.
The phone system allows you to place a non-handsfree call that will override handsfree mode on the extension you are calling. If you choose to use the Ring Intercom
Always feature to always send non-handsfree calls, the called party must pick up the
handset to answer the call.

INTRODUCTION
Now that you’ve mastered the basics, it’s time to move on to the advanced features. In
this section, you’ll learn how to program your phone, use directories, access your
voice mailbox remotely, and perform various other functions.

SETTING PREFERENCES
Your phone and voice mailbox are automatically set to specific defaults. You can,
however, configure many of these settings at any time.

Phone Configuration
Customizable features on your phone include changing volume levels, enabling background music, selecting a ring tone, and others.

Changing Volume Levels
The telephone system has eight volume settings: handset intercom, handset outside
call, speakerphone intercom, speakerphone outside call, background music, ringing,
handset intercom dial tone, and speakerphone intercom dial tone.
NOTE: To change each of these levels, you must be using that feature. For example, if
you want to change the speakerphone level for an intercom call, you must be on a
handsfree intercom call.

MOVING ON

To change a volume level:
Press the
(the high end of the Volume button) to increase the volume. Press the
(the low end of the Volume button) to decrease the volume.
To save your change:
EITHER, Press both ends of the Volume button.
OR, Press the middle of the Volume button.

Selecting a Ring Tone
The ability to change your ring tone is helpful in close-quartered environments. If
your ring tone is unique, you can quickly identify when a call is ringing on your
phone.
To select the type of ring tone for your phone:
1. With the handset in the cradle, dial 3 9 8 .
2. Do one of the following to select your ring tone:
• EITHER, Press 0 for no ringing.
• OR, Press the
or

Enabling Background Music
If your telephone system is equipped with a music source, you can listen to music
through your speaker.
To enable or disable background music:
Dial 3 1 3 .

Changing Keymaps
Keymaps identify where feature buttons appear on your phone. While all phones are
programmed with a standard keymap, some phones have alternate keymaps (ask your
system administrator). If you have an alternate keymap, you can switch between the
keymaps by dialing a specific feature code.
To switch between keymaps when your phone is idle:
With the handset in the cradle, dial 3 9 9 .
To switch between keymaps during a call:
Press
and dial 3 9 9 .

Enabling Automatic Call Answer
The Automatic Call Answer feature determines whether or not you are automatically
connected to a caller when you lift the handset (or press ). If this feature is enabled,
you are automatically connected when you go off-hook. If it is disabled, you must
first lift the handset (or press ) and then press the flashing button.

MOVING ON

To enable/disable this feature for ringing outside calls:
With the handset in the cradle, dial 3 6 0 .
To enable/disable this feature for ringing (non-handsfree) intercom calls:
With the handset in the cradle, dial 3 6 1 .

Changing the Language
When your phone system is installed, the system administrator can choose two of four
different languages (American English, British English, Japanese, or Spanish) as the
primary and secondary languages. You can then change the display and voice mail
prompts on your phone by toggling between the primary and secondary languages.
For example, if the system’s primary language is American English, and your phone
is programmed for the primary language, all displays appear in American English,
and your voice mail prompts are played in American English (unless changed, as outlined below). If the secondary language is Japanese, and your phone is programmed
for the secondary language, all displays appear in Japanese (Katakana) characters, and
your voice mail prompts are played in Japanese.
NOTE: You can only use the secondary language voice mail prompts if they are
loaded on the system. By default, all phones are set for the primary language. See your
system administrator to determine which languages are programmed for your phone
system.

You can also program messages using English/Spanish or Japanese characters, or a
combination of both (see page 56 for a list of characters). In displayed lists, such as
directories, the English/Spanish characters are alphabetized before the Japanese characters.

MOVING ON

To change the assigned language for your phone:
Dial 3 0 1 to change between your system’s primary and secondary languages,
as desired. Your display shows the current language.

Returning to Default Operation
You can return your phone to default levels at any time. This feature cancels DND,
manual call forwarding, background music, and queue requests; and restores handsfree mode, pages, hunt group calls, and system forwarding all at once.
To return your phone to default:
Dial 3 9 4 .
NOTE: See page 38 for instructions on changing volume levels.

41

MOVING ON

When you receive a voice mail message, the voice mail system plays an “envelope”
that can include the time and date the message was left, the source of the message,
and/or the message length. By default, the envelope contains all of this information,
but you can change your envelope, as described below.

Changing the Call Screening Transfer Method
NOTE: The Call Screening feature is available only if it is enabled for your mailbox
(ask your system administrator).

Depending on the transfer method you select, transferred calls from voice mail may
be unannounced (as usual), or one of the following may occur:
• “Announce Only” Calls: Before voice mail transfers a call to you, a prompt asks
the caller to record his or her name. When you answer, you hear, “You have a call
from (caller’s name).”
• “Screened” Calls: Before voice mail transfers a call to you, a prompt asks the
caller to record his or her name. When you answer, you hear, “You have a call
from (caller’s name).” You can choose whether or not to accept the call (see
page 55).

MOVING ON

To change your transfer method (if allowed):
1. Access your mailbox as described on page 28.
2. Press 4 to select the Personal Options Menu.
3. Press 9 for More Options.
4. Press 5 . The system tells you what your current transfer method is. You can
then select the desired transfer method, as follows:
• Press 1 to select unannounced transfers.
•

Press

2

to select screened transfers.

•

Press

3

to select announce only transfers.

•

Press

to return to the Personal Options Menu without making changes.

5. Hang up.

• Press 1 to retrieve the earliest-received messages first (First In/First Out).

Programming Remote Messaging
NOTE: Your installer or system administrator must enable this feature on your voice
mailbox.

With Remote Messaging, you can program the Voice Processor (voice mail) to call
you when your mailbox receives new messages. Using a “cascade” (a series of up to
nine telephone numbers), voice mail will call each number until it successfully connects to a device (e.g., pager, answering machine, etc.).
Because your mailbox can have a primary and an alternate cascade of numbers, you
can program a cascade to be used during specific days and times. For example, if you
want to be paged when you receive a message from 5-10 PM on weekdays, you can
set up a primary cascade. If you also want to receive pages for messages marked “priority” on the weekends, you could set your alternate cascade for all day on Saturdays
and Sundays.
NOTE: If for some reason voice mail is not able to use your remote notification, your

SPEED DIALING
Speed dialing allows you (and your system administrator) to store frequently dialed
numbers for easy dialing. Each number is stored on your phone (Station Speed Dial)
or in the phone system (System Speed Dial) and is identified by a location number.
Once programmed, you can then quickly dial these numbers by entering a feature
code and dialing the desired location number. Because the system supports both Station and System Speed-Dial numbers, you can have access to over 1000 stored numbers.

Station Speed Dial
You can program and use up to ten personal speed-dial numbers on your phone. In
addition, if you have programmable feature buttons, you can program them as speeddial buttons for one-touch dialing. To use a speed-dial button, you must:
• Store the number in a speed-dial location.
• Program an available feature button as a speed-dial button.
• Associate a speed-dial location with the new speed-dial button.
NOTE: You can use the Speed-Dial feature even if your phone does not have programmable feature buttons.

SCREENING CALLS
NOTE: This feature is available only if your telephone system is equipped with a Voice
Processor (voice mail).

If your voice mailbox is programmed correctly, you can screen calls that are transferred from voice mail. This allows you to accept and/or refuse specific calls.
Depending on the transfer method you use, calls from voice mail may be unannounced, announce only, or screened calls (see page 42 for details).
If your voice mailbox is programmed for screened calls, you have the following
options when you receive a transfer:
• Press

#

to accept the call.

• Press

1

to replay the announcement.

• Press

2

to send the call to voice mail.

• Press 3 and then enter the extension number to forward the call to another
extension.
• Press

to refuse the call.

USING THE DIRECTORIES
With directories, you can use your phone’s dialpad to find names and numbers. You
can then use the directory information to make calls, access features, or leave voice
mail messages.

The phone directory contains a list of the extension numbers, System Speed-Dial
numbers, feature codes, and their associated names. To search for an item, you can
enter the full or partial name. The system will then find the closest match. Once the
correct match is displayed on your phone, you can dial the number or press a button to
access that extension or feature.

REQUESTING AGENT HELP
NOTE: This feature is not supported on peer-to-peer (P2P) calls. Ask your system
administrator if your phone is configured to use P2P audio.

Your telephone system may be programmed to support the Agent Help feature, which
allows you to request help from a designated “Agent Help Extension” (usually your
supervisor) during a call. When your request call rings at the Agent Help Extension,
the supervisor can choose to join the call or reject the request.
If the Agent Help Extension is a digital phone, the phone’s microphone is automatically muted so that the supervisor cannot be heard unless he or she presses MUTE . If
the Agent Help Extension is a single-line phone, however, the supervisor can be
heard as soon as the conference is established. In either case, the supervisor can hear
all other parties on the call.
To use the Agent Help feature while on a call:
1. Press
and dial 3 7 5 . If you hear repeating tones, the Agent Help feature
is not available at your phone, you already have four parties in your call, not
enough system circuits are currently available, or the Agent Help Extension is in
DND.
2. Dial the Agent Help Extension number, if required. (Your phone may be programmed to automatically dial the number, or you may be required to dial it.)
If the Agent Help Extension accepts the call, you hear the Agent Help tone, if it is
enabled, and the supervisor can monitor or join your call.

MOVING ON

If the Agent Help Extension rejects the call, you hear a confirmation tone, and the
display shows AGENT HELP REJECTED.
To respond to an Agent Help request:
When you receive an Agent Help request, your display shows  REQUESTS
HELP. You can do one of the following:
• To accept the call: Answer as usual. Your microphone is muted and you cannot
be heard by either party unless you press MUTE .
• To reject the call: Dial

WORKING IN HUNT GROUPS
Your system may be programmed with “hunt groups.” Hunt groups are groups of
phones that share a common extension number in addition to having individual extension numbers. This allows someone to call anyone in the group (using the common
extension) or a specific member (using the individual extension). The members of
these groups and the common extension(s) are programmed by your system administrator.

Hunt Group Calls Enabled/Disabled
If you are a member of a hunt group, you can enable or halt hunt group calls to your
extension.
To turn on or off hunt group calls:
Dial 3 2 4 .

ACD Hunt Groups
Some hunt groups use a special feature called Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) that
distributes the hunt group calls equally among the available members. These hunt
group members are referred to as “agents,” who log in to the ACD hunt group to
receive calls and log out to halt ACD hunt group calls.

Distributing Calls

• Agent IDs: If the hunt group is programmed to use ACD Agent IDs, each agent
is assigned an Agent ID number to enter during the login procedure (described on
the next page). The hunt group calls are routed to logged-in agents, according to
their Agent ID number instead of their extension number. Because the Agent ID
is not associated with any extension, the agent can use any phone in the system to
log in.
• Members: If the hunt group is not programmed to use Agent IDs, it will have a
pre-programmed list of phones and will send calls to the phones where agents are
logged in.

Axxess® Model 8620 Phone User Guide – Axxess IP Mode

61

MOVING ON

Calls are distributed through an ACD hunt group based on Agent IDs or extensions,
as described below.

Logging In and Out of ACD Hunt Groups
Agents can log in to and out of the ACD hunt group at any time. While logged in, the
agent receives calls through the ACD hunt group. When the agent is logged out, calls
to that ACD hunt group bypass the agent.
To log in to all of your ACD hunt groups at once using the ACD Agent Login/
Logout feature code:
With or without the handset lifted, dial 3 2 8 and enter your Agent ID, if necessary. The display shows AGENT LOGGED IN TO ALL ACDS, and you hear a confirmation tone.
NOTE: This feature code acts as a toggle. If you were already logged in, the display
shows AGENT LOGGED OUT OF ALL ACDS, and you hear a confirmation tone.

To log in to one or more hunt groups using the ACD Agent Login feature code:
1. With or without the handset lifted, dial 3 2 6 . The display shows AGENT
LOGIN ACD NUMBER.
2. EITHER, Enter the desired ACD hunt group number.
OR, Press # to log in to all of your ACD hunt groups at once. The display shows
AGENT LOGIN AGENT ID.
NOTE: If you entered an invalid hunt group number, the display shows NOT AN
ACD HUNT GROUP, and you hear repeating tones.
3. Do one of the following:

MOVING ON

•

To log into one or more ACD hunt groups using Agent IDs: Enter your
Agent ID. The display shows AGENT LOGGED INTO ALL ACDS. You
are logged into the ACD hunt group using Agent IDs.
NOTE: If another Agent ID is already logged in at this phone, you hear
repeating tones, and the display shows DIFFERENT AGENT ID ALREADY
USED. You must have the other agent log out before you can use that phone.

•

To log into one or more ACD hunt groups not using Agent IDs: Press # .
The display shows AGENT LOGGED INTO ALL ACDS. You are logged
into the ACD hunt group that does not use Agent IDs.

If you were already logged in, the display shows ALREADY LOGGED INTO
.
If you are not a member of the entered hunt group, the display shows NOT AN
AGENT IN THIS HUNT GROUP, and you hear repeating tones. Start over.
4. Hang up if off-hook. Repeat this procedure to log into additional ACD groups, if

necessary.

62

Axxess® Model 8620 Phone User Guide – Axxess IP Mode

When you log in to a group, you may be automatically connected to a call after you
hear a short ring burst. If the ACD Agent ID Automatic Connect option is enabled for
your hunt group and you are using a headset, you will be automatically connected. If
this option is not enabled for your hunt group, the call will ring until you answer it or
until it times out to another extension.
NOTE: Even if the ACD Agent ID Automatic Connect option is enabled, the first call
you receive (after you log in or remove your phone from DND while logged in) will ring
until you answer it. You will, however, be automatically connected to subsequent calls.
To log out of one or more ACD hunt group:
1. EITHER, Dial 3 2 8 to log out of all of your ACD hunt groups at once. The
display shows AGENT LOGGED OUT OF ALL ACDS, and you hear a confirmation tone.
OR, With or without the handset lifted, dial 3 2 7 . One of the following displays will appear:
•

If you were logged in to only one hunt group, the display shows AGENT
LOGGED OUT OF . The procedure is complete.

•

If you were logged in to more than one hunt group, the display shows
AGENT LOGOUT ACD NUMBER. Dial the extension number of the
desired ACD hunt group.

•

If you were not logged in to any hunt group, the display shows NOT
LOGGED INTO ANY ACD GROUP.

Ending an ACD Hunt Group Call
Each time you end an ACD hunt group call, a wrap-up timer is started. Until this
timer expires, you will not receive another call through any ACD hunt group. You
can, however, end the wrap-up session before this timer expires, as described below.
To terminate the ACD Agent wrap-up period before the timer expires:
With the handset in the cradle, dial 3 2 9 .
NOTE: If you were not logged in to an ACD hunt group, the display shows CANNOT
ACCESS RESERVED FEATURE.

INTRODUCTION
If you want to know more about your phone and voice mail system, this is the section
for you. With additional information and FAQs, you should be able to find answers to
most of your questions.

WHAT THE ADMINISTRATORS CAN DO FOR YOU
The administrators are the people to whom you should turn if you have any problems
with your phone and/or voice mail. They have access to advanced programming features and can reset certain settings associated with your phone.
The types of administrators that can help you with your phone/voice mail are as follows:
• System Administrator: Performs certain telephone system functions, including:
— Setting the date and time
— Programming System Speed-Dial numbers
— Making database changes, such as programming usernames, toll restriction,
DND messages, and extension numbers
• Voice Mail Administrator: Performs tasks associated with the voice mail system, including:
— Recording a broadcast message that is sent to all mailboxes at once
— Performing mailbox maintenance (such as changing your password)
— Customizing voice mail prompts
NOTE: Because the telephone system is very flexible and programmable, the procedures 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
This section includes some of the most frequently asked questions. If you have problems with your phone or voice mailbox, refer to this section before you contact your
system administrator or your local Inter-Tel dealer.
How do I program System Speed-Dial numbers?

A1.

Only your system administrator can program System Speed-Dial numbers. You can,
however, program up to ten Station Speed-Dial numbers (see page 46).

Q2.

How do I change the time and date on my phone?

A2.

Only your system administrator can change the time and date. Please contact your
system administrator if you notice that the date and time are incorrect.

Q3.

How can I retrieve messages if I don’t know the password for my voice mail?

A3.

Try using your extension number, which is your default password. Or, maybe you
don’t have a password, in which case pressing # is all you need to do. If these
options don’t work, contact your system administrator, who can change or erase the
password for you. You can then retrieve your messages and reset the password, if
desired (see page 41).

Q4.

Why can’t I retrieve deleted messages?

A4.

Voice mail may have erased your message. After a programmed amount of time has
lapsed, up to 24 hours, voice mail automatically erases all deleted messages (see
page 31). If you attempted to undelete a voice mail within this time frame but you
were still unsuccessful, your voice mail system may not have sufficient space programmed to store deleted messages.

Q5.

How can I set the number of rings that are allowed before the call is sent to voice
mail?

A5.

Only your system administrator can change the number of rings.

Q6.

How can I change the name displayed on my phone?

A6.

Only your system administrator can change the usernames assigned to extensions.

Q1.

67

Q7.

How do I scroll through options on the display screen?

A7.

Press the
(low) end of the Volume button to scroll down or the
the Volume button to scroll up.

Q8.

Why can’t I program a Station Speed-Dial number to the button I want?

A8.

Your system administrator has programmed that button as a non-programmable button. Because you cannot override system programming from your phone, you must
choose another button.

Q9.

Why can’t I use one of the features described in this guide?

A9.

There are a few reasons why you might not be able to access the feature. Some possible reasons include:

(high) end of

• Your system administrator may not have enabled the feature for your phone.
• Your system administrator may have programmed your phone to block the feature.
Why don’t the local phone company star codes (i.e.*82, *69, etc.) work when I press
OUTGOING or use the Outgoing Call feature code ( 8 by default) to call an outside
number?

A10.

Rather than pressing OUTGOING or 8 to access an outside line, you must dial a
Select Line Group number before you can use the star codes. For example, if your
system is using the default Select Line Group numbers, dial 92001 to access that line.
Once you have dial tone, you can dial the star code and the number.

Q11.

Why can’t I use the Agent Help or Record-A-Call features?

A11.

If your phone is configured to use peer-to-peer (P2P) audio, you will not be able to
use the Agent Help and Record-A-Call features when you are on a P2P call. To determine if your phone is configured to use P2P audio, consult your system administrator.

Q12.

If I need further assistance, how do I get technical support?

A12.

First, contact your system administrator if you have a question that is not covered in
this user guide. If you need further assistance, contact your local authorized Inter-Tel
dealer. All Inter-Tel sales, service, and support are handled at the local level.
