This User’s Guide describes how to register and use a compatible AT&T DECT cordless headset with the SB35025 Deskset. See “Registering an Optional Cordless Headset (SB35025 Only)” on page 86.For more information about connecting Music on Hold and overhead paging, see the Syn248 Installation and Configuration Guide, available from www.telephones.att.com/smb.blue lines = telephone red lines = Ethernetorange lines = audioDraft

Overview 12         Syn248 SB35020/SB35025 Deskset User’s Guide Back to ContentsLines and Line KeysThe system administrator can configure your Deskset with up to 8 lines on which you can make and receive external calls. Each line is assigned to a programmable feature key on the Deskset. These are called Line keys in this User’s Guide. One programmable feature key is reserved for “Intercom” calls to other Deskset extensions.Other Desksets in the system share these lines and display the line status. Incoming calls on a line ring at all Desksets that share that line. The Line key LED indicates whether a line is ringing, busy, or on hold.The Line keys are used for receiving and making calls to external numbers. To call another extension in your office, you must use an Intercom key. By default, the Intercom key is the bottom programmable feature key, but your system administrator can configure additional Intercom keys.Figure 4.  Idle ScreenSetting Your PasswordYou can protect your Deskset by setting a password that prevents other users from accessing your User Settings and messages.

Answering Calls 32         Syn248 SB35020/SB35025 Deskset User’s Guide Back to ContentsCall Forward–No AnswerCall Forward–No Answer is a setting that redirects incoming calls. The Syn248 system has two types of Call Forward–No Answer settings.Phone Line Call Forward–No Answer can only be set by the system administrator. This setting determines the destination for unanswered calls on each line. After a call is  forwarded, the call cannot be answered at the Deskset. Calls can be forwarded to:an extension. Forwarded calls use the extension’s intercom line.an extension’s voicemail (without ringing the Deskset)an external phone numberAuto Attendant (default destination). See “About the Auto Attendant”.Intercom Call Forward–No Answer is a setting unique to each Deskset. The system administrator also sets this setting. This setting determines the delay of, and the destination for, unanswered calls coming through your intercom line. These calls can include intercom calls or outside calls forwarded to you by the Phone Line Call Forward–No Answer setting. The default destination is your voicemail. It can also be set for another extension, an outside phone number, or OFF.About the Auto AttendantThe Syn248 system features an Auto Attendant that can answer calls during periods when your office is closed or when calls go otherwise unanswered. The Auto Attendant has an interactive voice menu that can guide callers to the desired extension or extension’s voicemail.If your Deskset is set as the Operator extension, you can set the Auto Attendant to one of three menus: a default menu, a Day menu and a Night menu. The default menu instructs callers to “Enter the extension number or enter 0 for the operator.” You can customize both the Day and Night menus with your own greeting message and instructions to callers.Caller OptionsUntil callers get through to a live person, they can press 0 at any time to redirect their call to the system operator, if the system administrator has enabled this feature.When a caller is redirected to voicemail, the caller has the option to press 5 to skip the greeting and press 0 to reach the operator.The Auto Attendant may be set up so that callers can access the Auto Attendant directory. This allows callers to use any touch-tone phone's dial pad to spell your name, followed by pressing the pound (#) sign, to reach your extension.Draft

5FCC, ACTA and IC InformationIf this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July 23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the Part 68 rules and with the Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We are required to provide you with the following information.1. Product identifier and REN informationThe label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This information must be provided to your local telephone company upon request. For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:). The Analog Gateway has the REN encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate a REN of 0.3. The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENS should be five (5.0) or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company for more information.Syn248 - Safety Information i4_(SB35031).fm  Page 5  Friday, August 2, 2013  10:10 AM
