OVERVIEW
The Syn248® Business Phone System from AT&T is for businesses that need up to 100
extensions. This system is scalable from 1 to 39 outside lines, so as your business grows,
your phone system can too. The Syn248 Business Phone System provides simplicity
without sacrifice — it's simple to install, manage, and use, without sacrificing any of the
features you need and expect from a business telephone system.
This chapter introduces the SB35031 Deskset and provides an overview of the Syn248
System and the external features of the Deskset.

Syn248 System Overview
Your Deskset is part of the Syn248 System. Syn248 differs from conventional telephone
systems in that calls are not coordinated by a central controller. Instead, Syn248 uses a
distributed control system over a Local Area Network (LAN). Figure 1 illustrates a sample
system.

Deskset Overview
The SB35031 Deskset has a large screen and a built-in DECT 6.0 radio to host an optional
cordless headset.
This User’s Guide describes how to register and use a compatible AT&T DECT cordless
headset with the SB35031 Deskset. See “Registering an Optional Cordless Headset” on

Back to Contents
Each phone line connected to your system corresponds to a Line key on the Deskset as
shown in Figure 2 on page 10. The Syn248 system can have up to 8 lines connected. The
system administrator can configure your Deskset with up to four lines on which you can
make and receive external calls. One key is reserved for “Intercom” calls to other Syn248
Deskset extensions.
Other Desksets in the system share these lines and display the line status. In general,
incoming calls on a line ring at all Desksets that share that line. However, your system
administrator can set your Deskset to ignore calls on a selected line. Your Deskset will
not ring for calls on the ignored line, but you can still view call activity for 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 fifth key, but your system administrator can configure additional Intercom keys.
Setting Your Password
ra
ft
You can protect your Deskset by setting a password that prevents other users from
accessing your User Settings and messages. If you create a password, you will need to
enter it before accessing User Settings, messages, and the WebUI.
For more information, see “Setting and Changing Your Password” on page 99.

OUTGOING CALLS
The Deskset provides several methods for making a call. You can also use an optional
cordless headset to complete a call that you dialed on the Deskset.
If you are in Idle mode or have calls on hold, you can predial a phone number and then
go off hook to call the number. You can make a call at any time by choosing an off-hook
method, then dialing a number. This is referred to as live dialing. You can also predial or
live dial using phone numbers from lists, such as the Directory, Call Log, Redial, Quick
Dial, and Messages.
You can dial the extension for the system operator by dialing 0 (zero) on an Intercom line.

Call Forward–No Answer
Call 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

an extension’s voicemail (without ringing the Deskset)

an external phone number

Auto Attendant (default destination). See “About the Auto Attendant” on
page 33.
ra
ft
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 Attendant
The 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 Options
Until 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.

Accessing the Held Calls List
When you or any other Deskset user puts an external call on hold, the call is displayed
in the Held Calls list. From the Held Calls list, you can view and retrieve any held call in
the system.
Your Deskset Line key LEDs also show which lines have held calls on them, but only for
the lines assigned to that Deskset. All Desksets in the system may not have the same
lines assigned to them. For example, your department may have lines 1 to 4 assigned to
your Desksets. Another department in your company may have lines 5 to 8 assigned to
their Desksets. Using the Held Calls list at your Deskset, you can access calls being held
on lines 1 to 8.
You can view and retrieve any held call in the system from the Held Calls list. If the held
call is on a line that is not assigned to your Deskset, retrieving the call will route it to the
Intercom line on your Deskset.

Accessing Your Voicemail Remotely
Remote access allows you to listen to your messages or change the recorded greeting
when you are away from your Deskset. Follow the voice prompts and press the
appropriate dial-pad keys to navigate through the system. The voice prompts in a menu
list are repeated three times with a 5-second pause between. After three times with no
action, the voice says “Goodbye” and the remote call is disconnected.
Listening to the time/date stamp information of a message does not count as listening
to the message. If you access the voicemail through remote access and skip to another
message while the time or date is playing, the message is still considered new.
To use this feature, your system must be set up for remote voicemail access. The
Phone Line Call Forward–No Answer setting and Intercom Call Forward–No
Answer setting must allow you to reach your extension’s voicemail. For more
information, consult your system administrator.
To access voicemail remotely:
Dial your company phone number.
2.
After the call is answered, enter your extension number.
3.
Immediately press the star twice (* *). You will hear, “Enter your access code,
followed by the pound sign.”
4.
Enter your user password (if you have created one), then enter pound (#) to listen to
your messages.
ra
ft
1.
Even if you have not created a password, you must still enter the pound (#).
If your mailbox is full, your voicemail greeting does not play. Instead you hear
“Voicemail is full” before being disconnected. To access your voicemail when
your mailbox is full, quickly press the star key twice (* *) just as the “Voicemail
is full” announcement begins.

Common Troubleshooting Procedures
Follow these procedures to resolve common issues.
Resolving General Functional Issues
To resolve a blank screen or device that does not work at all:
Ensure the AC plug is plugged into an electrical outlet not powered by a wall
switch.

Verify that the AC power outlet has power. Try plugging in some other AC device.
If nothing works, contact an electrician or use another power outlet.

Verify that the DC plug is plugged into the power jack on the device.

The system devices are not immediately active when powered up and after a
power interruption. Allow at least 30 seconds for the device to boot up.

If your Deskset uses Power over Ethernet (PoE), ask your system administrator to
confirm that the PoE switch is working correctly.
ra
ft

To resolve a sluggish, unresponsive, or unusually behaving device:
Reset the device by using a pen or paper clip to press the RESET button on the back of
the Deskset for less than five seconds or by removing and restoring AC power.
Pressing the RESET button for more than five seconds will erase all data and
settings.

FCC, ACTA and IC Information
If 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 information
The 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.

2.
Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and the
telephone network must comply with the applicable Part 68 rules and technical
requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord with modular plug is
provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack
that is also compliant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for connecting to a single
line and an RJ14 jack for two lines, see the installation instructions in the user’s guide.
This equipment may not be used with coin telephone lines or with party lines. If you have
specially wired alarm dialing equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure that
the connection of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have
