Welcome  
Welcome  
Welcome to the User’s Guide for the Dialog 4223 Professional  
telephone used with the MD Evolution communication system. This  
includes the MD Evolution M, MD Evolution XL, MDE Mi and MDE  
Xli models.  
The features described in this guide relate to version R8.0A or later  
of the MD Evolution communication system. Certain services may  
not be available in older system versions and/or may be protected  
by a software key.  
This guide describes services for the MD Evolution communication  
system as well as the digital Dialog 4223 Professional extension,  
with normal default programming.  
In terms of the service rights for your specific extension, there may  
be some discrepancy in the manner in which your own phone will  
operate. For more information, or if a problem arises, contact your  
system administrator.  
Unless otherwise indicated, features that do not involve using the  
handset are described in the “handsfree” section. Pressing the “C”  
key (for “Clear”), is the same as hanging up the handset.  
The latest version of this user guide can be downloaded from:  
http://www.aastra.com  
Note: The Dialog 4223 Professional model is a telephone  
system; it may only be used with a private branch exchange  
that is compatible with this type of telephone.

Introduction to Your Extension  
The voice announcements (or voice guides) are normally provided  
under the following conditions:  
Notification of a new  
voice message  
Provided each time your extension is picked up, this  
message indicates that a new message was left in the  
mailbox associated with your extension, when applicable.  
See the “Voice Mail Services” section.  
Message: “A message has been deposited in your voice  
mailbox”.  
Locked extension  
notification  
Heard each time your handset is lifted, this announcement  
reminds you that your extension is locked. It is therefore  
temporarily impossible to use it. See the “More Features of  
Your Extension” section.  
Message: “Your set has been locked. To make a call, you  
must unlock it”.  
Appointment reminder  
notification  
Heard following your response to an appointment reminder  
call, this announcement indicates the nature of this automatic  
system call. See the More Features of Your Extension”  
section.  
Message: “It’s time for your appointment.”  
Notification of the ex-  
tension’s general calls  
acceptance status.  
Heard each time your extension is picked up, this message  
reminds you that your extension is in general calls acceptance  
mode, and serves as an auxiliary attendant extension. See  
the “Attendant-Based Services” section.  
Message: “Your extension is receiving external calls of the  
attendants”.  
Your extension also offers a selection of 10 different ring melodies  
and 10 different ring volume levels. See the “Programming Your  
Extension” section.  
This ring is distinctly cadenced, according to whether the incoming  
call is an internal or external call. The cadence is faster for an  
internal call.  
Note: Your facility also usually provides integrated on-hold  
music, to which every external calling party either placed on  
hold or parked will be connected.

Operations for Outgoing Calls  
Calling with Abbreviated Dialling  
(Speed Dialling)  
You may also place your external calls more quickly by using the  
abbreviated dialling (speed dialling) service.  
This enables you to contact your external parties using shorter  
numbers than the norm, usually just 3 or 4 digits.  
Usually, you will have access to a general list of abbreviated  
numbers valid for all users in your facility.  
Additionally, based on your user rights, you may also have access  
to a personal list of 20 abbreviated numbers that are either personal,  
or shared among a restricted group of users.  
All of these abbreviated numbers are managed by your system  
administrator or possibly your facility’s attendants. Contact them  
as needed.  
To contact an external party using abbreviated numbers, after lifting  
the handset or in handsfree mode:  
2
z
z
Dial “2”, giving you access to abbreviated dialling.  
ABBR. NO  
Then directly dial the abbreviated number associated with  
the external party to be contacted.  
The call is then established just as if you had manually dialled the  
external party’s number.  
Notes:  
A personal abbreviated number accepts values from 00 to 19.  
An abbreviated number on the general list is usually from  
200 to xxx. The prefix “2” is the one usually used to access  
abbreviated dialling. It may, however, have been modified  
by your system administrator.  
An abbreviated number is generally complete. It may also  
be incomplete, in which case you will need to complete the  
number by dialling the rest manually. This may, for example,  
allow you to access a series of numbers using just one  
abbreviated number.

MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
 
Operations for Outgoing Calls  
Placing a Call Using Programmable Line  
or Repertory Keys  
Another option for quickly processing your outgoing calls to favoured  
parties is to save their numbers under one of your extension’s pro-  
grammable line keys, or under one of the repertory keys available  
on one or several associated satellite key panel(s), as the case may  
dictate.  
Your extension features 6 line keys, of which 4 keys may be pro-  
grammed with an internal or external number for your favoured  
parties, or with an activation code for a given service.  
If your extension uses one or several associated satellite key panels,  
each one offers an additional 17 programmable repertory keys that  
can also save an internal number, and external number, or again, a  
service activation code.  
The corresponding programming of each line or repertory key is,  
in this case, entirely up to you. See also the “Programming Your  
Extension” section.  
To contact an internal or external party whose number has been  
saved on a line or repertory key, after lifting the handset, or in  
handsfree mode:  
L4  
Ô
Simply press the line or repertory key associated with the  
party to be contacted.  
The call is then established just as if you had manually dialled the  
internal or external party’s number.  
Notes:  
As with abbreviated dialling, a number saved on a line or  
repertory key may be incomplete. In this case you will need  
to complete the number by dialling the rest manually. In-  
complete numbers could, for example, allow you to access  
a series of numbers using just one key.  
Note:Programming a line key assigns a saved number or  
service to this key. Practically speaking, this means that you  
may only program 4 line keys, thus reserving at least line  
keys 1 and 2 for processing incoming and/or outgoing calls  
simultaneously.

Last External Number Redial  
When you place an external call, the system automatically saves the  
number dialled, enabling it to be automatically redialled, if necessary.  
This is true whether or not your external call is successfully connected.  
Moreover, the last number dialled is saved until a new external call  
is placed.

Other Options for Dialling Outgoing Calls  
Your extension also offers two additional services to easily dial your  
outgoing calls.  
The first service is the Call by Name service. Your extension gives  
you access to the directory integrated into your facility, which includes  
all of the internal numbers in service as well as the external numbers  
accessible through abbreviated dialling (speed dialling). You may  
consult this directory and then directly call a party found therein,  
simply by selecting his/her name.  
The second service is the Call log file service. Your extension auto-  
matically saves all of the call that you receive but do not answer.  
You then have the option of automatically re-dialling each caller  
whose identity has been saved in this file.  
For these two services, see the “Directory, and Call List Services”  
section.

Monitoring Your Internal Calls and  
Subsequent Services  
When you establish an internal call, your extension displays your  
party’s status as one of the following:  
FREE  
RING  
WAIT  
The party you are calling is free.  
The party you are calling is already being rung by a third party.  
The party you are calling is busy, but your call may be placed on  
camp-on (multi-line extension).  
BUSY  
The party you are calling is busy, and it is not possible to place  
your call on camp-on (single-line extension).  
CONGESTED  
The line you are calling is congested, therefore it is not possible  
to place your call on camp-on.  
If your party is free, his/her extension will be rung, while you hear  
the ringback tone.  
If your party is busy, your call may be automatically camped-on for  
the dialled extension, and you will hear the automatic camp-on tone.  
You may then simply wait for your party to answer.  
To proceed with your call, in terms of the requested internal party’s  
status, you may also:  
Activate the automatic call-back feature for the called extension  
that is busy, or not answering.  
Broadcast a voice message on the free extension, if it is equipped  
with a loudspeaker.  
End your call by sending a mini-message to the called extension,  
if it is compatible with this service. See the “Message Services”  
section.  
Depending on the rights assigned to your extension, you may also  
carry out an intrusion upon the current call on the requested exten-  
sion, or override their Do not disturb status. These last services are,  
however, usually reserved for your system’s attendants. See the  
Attendant-Based Services” section.

Voice Paging over a Free Extension’s  
Loudspeaker  
When you call an internal extension that is “FREE”, but does not  
answer, you may broadcast a voice page on your called  
extension’s loudspeaker.  
This allows you to transmit a message on the extension’s loud-  
speaker, which will be automatically activated when you request  
this service.

at which time the call will proceed normally.  
The announcement may be unidirectional from your exten-  
sion. It may also be bi-directional, in which case the called  
extension’s microphone is automatically activated at the  
same time as his/her loudspeaker. In the second case, your  
called party can answer you without lifting their handset.  
This depends on your called party’s extension settings. See  
also the “Programming Your Extension” section.  
Certain extensions (such as yours) may possibly be equipped  
with permanent protection against voice paging. Obviously,  
this service will be denied on these extensions (and vice-  
versa).

Call with Temporary Protection  
When you place either an internal or external call that you deem  
particularly important, you may choose to activate phonic protection.  
Valid on a call by call basis, this protection ensures that you will not  
be disturbed by the signal that sounds when a new incoming call is  
presented to you. It is still possible to place new calls to your exten-  
sion on camp-on.  
This service protects you from any intrusion or offer that could take  
place during your conversation, most specifically from an attendant.  
These services are then refused in light of your conversation in pro-  
gress.

Call in Substitution or with Signature  
You can also place an external call in substitution or with signature.  
This concerns the exceptional use of a third party set that is NOT  
an IP H.323 Dialog 4425 or Dialog 4422, to place an external call,  
just as if you were using your own extension.  
The main advantage of this feature is that the call is charged to your  
own extension. Another advantage is that on the substituted third  
party set, you have all of your extension’s customary services,  
most especially dialling discriminations relating to various external  
numbers applicable for your extension.  
This service is valid on a call-by-call basis. It is automatically  
cancelled at the end of each call processed using this service.

DTMF End-to-End Dialling  
At times, you may need to call external servers, such as a reservation  
centre server, when you are required to communicate interactively  
through the online transmission of various dialling codes.  
Your extension makes this option available to you through the  
DTMF end-to-end dialling service. With this service, you can  
directly exchange dialling codes with a remote server, without  
your dialling being interpreted by your local facility.  
This is processed through the exchange of DTMF codes, from  
which the service’s name is derived. You can hear the codes in  
the form of tones in your telephone.

Discrimination and Routing of External  
Calls  
Usually, you have access rights to the public network and all private  
networks to which your facility is connected. You also usually have  
the authorisation to dial any type of external number, most particularly  
a public number.  
In terms of the facility programming dictated by your system  
administrator, there may be certain external numbers that are  
discriminated.  
Most particularly, this may apply to numbers for service provided by  
the public network, or certain international destinations. An attempt  
to dial these numbers would be automatically refused.  
Moreover, your facility will also most often be equipped with a Least  
Cost Routing (LCR) service for external calls, especially if your facility  
is connected to private networks or different public network operators.  
The LCR service therefore automatically ensures that the routing of  
external numbers you dial will be processed with the least possible  
cost, or managed according to the most optimal calling route.  
Note: The numbers dialled using abbreviated dialling are  
never subjected to any type of discrimination. If you have a  
specific need or question concerning discriminated numbers,  
you may ask your system administrator or facility attendants  
that the numbers in questions be added to the list of abbre-  
viated dialling numbers.

Operations during a Call  
Operations during a Call  
When a call is established, your extension offers you the option of  
alternating between the handset only and handsfree modes, and  
between group listening and mute modes.  
You may also control the listening volume for your extension’s  
handset or loudspeaker.  
You also have access to various services for processing your calls,  
including:  
Enquiry call to consult another internal or external party.  
Refer back call between two on-line parties or broker’s call.  
Call transfer between two parties.  
Conference call with three or four participants.  
You may also temporarily place a call on hold, in order to carry out

This type of call transfer can be made between two internal parties,  
or one internal party and one external party, regardless who is the  
calling or called parties.  
It is also unconditionally applicable in the following different cases:  
Transfer during a conversation: You may transfer a call between  
two parties when one is in communication with you, and the  
other is on hold on your extension. Both parties will then be in  
direct communication with each other.  
Call transfer on ringing: You may make a transfer when an enquiry  
call is in the process of being established to a free internal exten-  
sion, without waiting for that person to answer. The transferred  
party will then hear the other requested extension ringing.  
Call transfer on busy: You may make a transfer when an enquiry  
call is in the process of being established to a busy internal exten-  
sion, when it is possible for the call to be placed on camp-on.  
The transferred party will then be placed on camp-on on the  
other requested extension.

Call transfers between two external parties may also be  
permitted. This essentially depends on your facility’s  
configuration. If you need more information, contact your  
system administrator.  
Your facility may allow call transfers between two external  
parties; however, it is recommended to never transfer to an  
automatic machine such as: an information system, a net-  
work voicemail system, etc. The connection could be very  
long and costly. Moreover, during the entire duration of the  
transfer, two of your facility’s ISDN network lines are busy,  
which may limit other calls.

Directory, and Call List Services  
Directory, and Call List Services  
Your extension also offers two sophisticated services for handling  
your incoming and outgoing calls as efficiently as possible.  
The first service is access to the integrated directory that is  
available to your entire facility. You may consult this directory and  
then directly call a party found therein, simply by selecting his/her  
name. This is the Call by Name service.  
The second service is the Call List service. Your extension auto-  
matically saves all of the call that you receive but do not answer.  
You then have the option of automatically re-dialling each caller  
whose identity has been saved in this file.  
Directory and Call by Name  
The integrated directory that is available to everyone in the facility  
includes all of the internal numbers served, as well as the external  
numbers that are accessible through abbreviated dialling – each  
one characterised by the name of the associated internal or external  
party.  
You may consult this directory from your idle extension. You may  
also consult it during a conversation, typically within the context of  
establishing an enquiry call. See also the “Operations during a Call”  
section.  
Next, once the name of the desired internal or external party is  
displayed on your extension’s screen, you may place the call  
automatically, simply be selecting his/her name.

Call Log File  
With the Call log file service, your extension automatically saves all  
calls that you receive, but that were not answered when you were  
absent or when your line was busy.  
For each call saved, the identity – name and number, if available  
– of the internal/external calling party is saved, as well as the date  
and time of the call.  
An internal caller may have left you a mini-message, when applicable.  
This message will also be saved in the call log file. See also the

You may consult this call log file from your idle extension. You may  
also consult it during a conversation, typically within the context of  
establishing an enquiry call. See also the “Operations during a Call”

Call Forwarding Services  
Call Forwarding Services  
Your extension also offers you various call forwarding services that  
enable you to direct incoming calls to another internal or external  
destination, whenever you are absent and/or busy, travelling, or when  
you simply would rather not be disturbed.  
The following different types of services are available:  
Call forward on no-answer condition: Your calling parties will be  
re-directed to the pre-defined call forward recipient, whenever  
you do not answer their calls, typically after a 20-second delay.  
Call forward on busy condition: Your calling parties are immedi-  
ately re-directed to the pre-defined call forward recipient whenever  
your extension is busy.  
Call forward on no-answer and busy conditions: Your calling  
parties are re-directed to the pre-defined call forward recipient  
in both cases.  
Immediate call forward: All incoming calls are immediately re-  
directed to the pre-defined call forward recipient. Typically, this  
could be your secretary’s internal number, or your external  
mobile phone number when you are travelling.  
“Do not disturb” call forward: Your extension is unavailable, and  
no call forwarding services were activated. Your internal party’s  
calls are immediately disconnected, and your “Do not disturb”  
status is displayed on extensions that feature a display screen.  
Calls from your external parties are immediately re-directed to  
your facility’s attendants.  
Call forward on mini-message: Your extension is unavailable,  
and no call forwarding services were activated. Your internal and  
external parties receive an “Absent” message that you have pre-  
recorded. See the “Message Services” section.  
The number to which a call forward may be directed could be an  
internal party’s individual extension, a hunt group, another user’s  
personal group, or even the access number for an integrated voice  
mail system that your facility may use. See the “Voice Mail Services”  
section.

Call Forwarding Services  
It may also consist of an external number containing up to 18 digits,  
including the network access prefix. This may be an external number  
that is accessible through abbreviated dialling.  
You may use fixed call forward defined by your system administrator.  
This may consist of a call forward on no-answer condition, a call  
forward on busy condition, or a call forward on no-answer and busy  
conditions.  
This fixed call forward is applied by default whenever you do not  
define a variable call forward for your calls. This is often the case  
when your facility uses an integrated voice mail service, which – by  
default – receives your calls encountering a no-answer or busy  
condition.  
You may define all of the types of call forwards listed above, on  
your own. This is referred to as a variable call forward that takes  
precedence over a possible fixed call forward.  
This variable call forward may be:  
A pre-defined variable call forward assigned to the Call-Fwd key  
on your extension. This is valid for all types of call forwards, except  
call forward on mini-message. Simply pressing this Call-Fwd  
key will either activate or de-activate the pre-defined variable  
call forward.  
A variable call forward defined on a case by case basis. This is  
valid for any type of call forward that is activated after it has been  
defined. This then will take precedence over a call forward that  
was pre-defined on the Call-Fwd key.  
In any case, only one call forward applies at any given moment.  
Defining a new variable call forward automatically cancels any  
definition that previously existed.  
A variable call forward is usually defined on a case by case basis  
before you leave your extension. You may also remotely define your  
call forward recipient from his/her internal extension. This is the  
“Follow me” or “Third party call forward (or remote call forward)”  
service.  
The call forwards previously mentioned are those that are predefined.  
Finally, your extension also offers you the call deflection service. This  
is a call forward activated after a call is presented to you, on a call-  
by-call basis, in cases where you would rather not answer that spe-  
cific call, thus directing it to another recipient.

Call Forwarding Services  
Notes:  
When any type of call forward is defined on your extension,  
you still have the option of placing calls and activating any  
When you have defined any type of call forward to an  
internal recipient, the latter has the option of calling you  
without any restrictions.  
When a call forward on busy condition is defined on your  
extension, no more incoming calls will be presented to you  
when you have an ongoing call. In the same way, the services  
of consulting and answering a new call are de-activated.  
Certain extensions, including yours, may be authorised to  
override another extension’s Do not disturb status. This is  
most often the case with your facility’s attendants. See the  
Attendant-Based Services” section.  
For any call forward defined to be directed to an external  
recipient, forwarding of calls issued from external parties  
may take place either through your facility’s resources or  
directly at the Euro-ISDN network level, according to your  
facility’s configuration.  
You may program a call forward from your extension to it-  
self. This enables you to bypass any fixed call forward that  
is applicable to your extension. Your extension is therefore  
may be contacted normally.  
When a call forward is programmed for your extension, a  
special dial tone is heard when you lift your handset. This is  
also the case when you are the recipient of a call forward.

You may also repeat the procedure from a new recipient extension,  
in which case, your calls would follow you as you move from office  
to office.  
Notes:  
The Follow me service may also be activated by dialling from  
any type of extension (other than an IP H.323 extension). To  
activate remote call forwarding, the usual sequence is: 65  
<NO> <PSW>, where <NO> is your extension number, and  
<PSW> is your user password. To deactivate remote call  
forwarding, the usual sequence is: 66 <NO> <PSW>. The  
type of call forwarding that is defined is always “immediate”  
call forwarding. The prefixes “65” and “66” may have been  
modified by your system administrator.  
Depending on the rights assigned to your extension and each  
recipient extension, access to the Follow me and Remote call  
forwarding services may be restricted. Therefore, you always  
have the option of requesting that a facility attendant define  
a remote call forward for your account. See the “Attendant-  
Based Services” section.  
Call Deflection  
When you have no call forwards programmed on your extension,  
you may instead deflect a call that is presented on your extension,  
which you would prefer not to answer but rather re-direct it to another  
recipient.  
Once again, the number to which a call may be deflected could be  
an internal party’s individual extension, a hunt group, another user’s  
personal group, or even the access number for an integrated voice  
mail system that your facility may use. See the “Voice Mail Services”  
section.  
It may also consist of an external number containing up to 18 digits,  
including the network access prefix.  
When a call is presented on your idle extension, this call deflection or  
screening is carried out on a call-by-call basis, as described below,  
without lifting your extension’s handset.

call forwarding (or after your call has been deflected), you will know  
this service has been activated when you hear the re-routing on call  
forward tone. Your extension’s screen is also updated with the  
identification information for the internal or external party to whom  
you will be transferred.  
If you are the recipient of a call forward (or a call deflection), your  
extension’s screen will display the identity of the internal or external  
caller, as well as the identity of the internal party who originated the  
call forward (or call deflection), preceded by the word, “FOR”.

Message Services  
Your extension also offers text message services that enable you to  
exchange mini-messages over the ISDN network with internal or  
even external parties.  
The available services include:  
When placing a call, you have the option of transferring a mini-  
message to your called party, in case he/she does not answer  
your call, or has an ongoing call.  
In the same way, when you receive a call, you may consult a  
mini-message sent to you by the party who attempted to  
contact you.  
You also have the option of a call forward to mini-messaging service.  
This is also called the call forward on absence service. This does  
not consist of a call forward in its truest sense; your incoming calls  
are not re-directed. Rather, the absence message that you selected  
when defining your call forward will be automatically transmitted to  
the party who is trying to contact you.  
For this purpose, your facility may make 10 pre-formatted mini-  
messages available to you for one of the aforementioned purposes.  
Note:  
In relation to using these services with external parties, this  
assumes that they are also ISDN network users, and that  
they have ISDN terminals that are compatible with the mini-  
messaging service. Certain extensions (such as yours) may  
be permanently protected against the automatic use of this  
call forward on absence service for external parties. In this  
case, the text messaging services are only applicable internally  
within your facility.

Sending a Mini-Message  
Suppose you attempt to contact someone who either does not  
answer his/her extension, or whose extension is busy.  
Over and above the other operations available to you during outgoing  
calls (see “Operations for Outgoing Calls” section), you may also  
end your call by sending a mini-message to the called extension,  
if it is compatible with this service.  
To do so, no matter what the status of the requested party:

Notes:  
This service is not available for any internal party who is not  
equipped with an extension that would allow them to consult  
your message. If that is the case, the MSG+DISC dynamic  
function will not be displayed.  
This service is available with single or enquiry calls. It is also  
available when you have an ongoing call, if desired.  
This service may also be activated at the beginning of your  
call, in order to only transmit a message to your called party.  
In this case, select the MESSAGE function available from your  
idle extension; select, and then validate your mini-message

Receiving a Mini-Message  
In the same way, when you do not answer a call, you may receive a  
mini-message from internal or external calling parties whose exten-  
sions are compatible with the ISDN mini-messaging service.  
This mini-message will be saved in the call log file along with the  
caller’s identity, and the date and time of the call; see the “Directory,

is not specifically and permanently protected against the use of this  
call forward on absence service for external parties.  
In the opposite case, a call issued from an incompatible external  
party will be redirected to your facility’s attendants, who will see  
your message automatically displayed on their extension, and will

Voice Mail Services  
Voice Mail Services  
Depending on its configuration, your facility may have an integrated  
voice mail system, which may or may not be associated with an  
automated attendant service.  
If this is the case, you then have normal access to a personal mailbox.  
You may then program your extension to forward your calls to this  
mailbox when you do not answer, if you are busy, or if you are tem-  
porarily absent.  
According to the operating mode attributed to your mailbox, your  
parties will simply be informed of your absence, and then you will  
have the option of either leaving a voice message for you, or having  
their call redirected to an assistant or any other extension you may  
have defined.  
Whenever a new voice message is left in your mailbox, you will be  
automatically notified by an icon displayed on your extension. You  
may also program the system to notify an external number as well.  
Calling the integrated voice mail service then permits you to consult  
each new voice message that was left, and then you may either  
delete it or archive it, as you deem necessary. You may consult your  
mailbox from your extension, from any other extension in the facility,  
or from an external network.  
You also have mailbox management options, such as recording a  
personalised greeting, programming an external notification upon  
reception of voice mail, or programming an assistant’s number, as  
the case may dictate.  
If you are part of (a) hunt group(s) (see the “Group Services” section),  
you will also receive voice mail that may be left for the hunt group in  
general when no one answers, if the group is congested or when it  
is closed. These messages may also be consulted directly from your  
individual mailbox.  
Besides your individual mailbox, you may also be assigned to a  
common mailbox for distribution purposes, which may also be  
shared between different extensions in your facility.  
This then allows calling parties, or even you, to leave a voice mes-  
sage in this common mailbox that will then be distributed to all of  
the members who share this mailbox.  
64  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
   
Voice Mail Services  
Note: This is also true, of course, of all the other extensions  
in your facility. Everyone then, has the liberty of leaving voice  
mail in any available individual or common mailbox.  
Types of Individual Mailboxes  
Your individual mailbox may be managed according to one of the  
following three operating modes:  
In answering mode: Your mailbox only plays an absence mes-  
sage that you may manage yourself. Calling parties who are  
directed to your mailbox hear your message, however they are  
not able to leave a message for you.  
In recording mode: Your mailbox plays a greeting that you may  
manage yourself. Then, calling parties who are directed to your  
mailbox hear your message, and then may leave a voice mes-  
sage for you that you may subsequently consult.  
In personal assistant mode: Your mailbox plays a greeting that  
you may manage yourself. Then, calling parties who are directed  
to your mailbox may either leave a voice message, or if they so  
desire, be redirected to your assistant, to another extension you  
previously designated, or to your facility’s attendants.  
The selection of an operating mode for each mailbox is usually  
overseen by your system administrator. The mode usually used is  
the recording mode (which is assumed in the rest of this guide).  
Call Forwarding to a Voice Mailbox  
Forwarding calls to your individual mailbox may be effective  
according to one of the following types of call forwards:  
Call forward on no-answer condition: Your calling parties will be  
re-directed to your mailbox, whenever you do not answer, typically  
after a 20-second delay.  
Call forward on busy condition: Your calling parties are immedi-  
ately re-directed to your mailbox whenever your extension is busy.  
Call forward on no-answer and busy conditions: Your calling  
parties are re-directed to your mailbox when there is no answer  
and when your extension is busy.  
Immediate call forward: All calls are immediately re-directed to  
your mailbox.  
65  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
 
Voice Mail Services  
This may consist of a fixed call forward on no-answer condition, on  
busy condition, or a call forward on no-answer and busy conditions  
that was defined by your system administrator. This is applied by  
default whenever you do not define a variable call forward for your  
calls. This is often the case when a facility uses as an integrated voice  
mail service, which – by default – receives your calls encountering a  
no-answer or busy condition.  
You may also program the call forwarding to your mailbox yourself.  
This variable call forward takes precedence over a possible fixed  
call forwards.  
It may also be managed on a case-by-case basis, for example  
– processing an immediate call forward when you are away from the  
office. It may also be pre-defined on your extension’s Call-Fwd key,  
in which case, simply pressing that key would activate or deactivate  
the variable call forward to your mailbox.  
You may also use the call deflection service, directing calls to your  
mailbox. “Call-by-call” refers to directing a call to your mailbox that  
is presented to you, but that you would rather not answer.  
The operating modes for these different services are identical to the  
other call forwarding services – see the “Call Forwarding Services”  
section.

Simply put, the recipient number for your call forward is the internal  
access number for your facility’s integrated voice mail system.  
=
To identify the number to receive your call forward, no matter what  
it is:  
884  
z
Dial 884.  
This is the usual access number for a system’s integrated voice  
mail system. If you need more information, contact your system  
administrator.  
Note: It is advisable to save this number on one of your  
extension’s line keys (see details to follow).  
Greeting of Parties and Leaving of  
Messages in Your Voice Mailbox  
Once a call forward to your mailbox has been programmed, parties  
directed to your mailbox will first receive a greeting message.  
By default, the greeting message is: “Welcome in the called extension  
mailbox”. In the case where the call forward is on busy condition, it  
is preceded by the following system message: “The requested ex-  
tension is busy”.  
66  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
 
Voice Mail Services  
You may personalise this greeting as you wish. Until you have  
personalised the greeting, the system will offer you this option  
whenever you consult your mailbox (see details to follow).  
A new system message then prompts the party to leave a voice  
message after the “beep” (except in cases of where the mailbox  
is set to answering mode only).  
The standard configuration allows a voice message to last up to  
30 minutes, with up to a total of 100 messages that may be saved  
in your mailbox, depending on the voice mail system’s capacity.  
Notes:  
Messages lasting less than 3 seconds are not taken into  
account. An 8-second silence will automatically terminate  
a voice message.  
This is also the case when you are directed to your calling  
party’s mailbox.  
Internal Notification of Messages Left in  
Your Mailbox  
Whenever a new message is left in your mailbox, you will be  
immediately notified by an icon displayed on your extension.  
The letters “WM” are displayed on the first line of your extension  
when it is idle.

External Notification of Messages Left in  
Your Mailbox  
You may also program your extension to automatically notify you  
at an external number (see details to follow) whenever a new voice  
message is left in your mailbox.  
Typically, this number could be your GSM mobile phone when you  
are out of the office.  
When a new message is left in your mailbox, a call is then auto-  
matically emitted to each external number that you have defined.  
If you answer this automatic call, you will be transferred directly to  
your mailbox. You will then be prompted to enter your user pass-  
word in order to consult your new voice message (see details to  
follow).  
If you do not answer within a certain timeframe (typically, 30 seconds),  
the automatic call process will be repeated with up to 5 consecutive  
attempts, executed at 45-minute intervals (typical values).  
Note: External notifications of new voice messages left in  
your mailbox is usually restricted to business hours between  
9 a.m. and 6 p.m., based on your facility’s local time.  
Internal Access for Consulting  
Your Voice Mail  
Consulting voice messages left in your mailbox is usually carried  
out from the extension that was notified.

system (884 by default). To do this, after lifting the handset or in  
handsfree mode:

External Access for Consulting Your Voice  
Mail  
Normally, it is also possible for you to access your voice mail from  
a DTMF analogue extension or a GSM mobile phone that supports  
DTMF end-to-end dialling mode on an external network.  
Access is then gained through the automated attendant usually  
implemented and associated with a system’s integrated voice mail,  
even when an automated attendant’s functions are not effectively  
used.  
Access is gained as follows:  
AA DID NO  
Dial the DID number for your company’s automated  
attendant (AA).  
Usually, the internal number for the automated attendant is 885. This  
is associated with DID numbers relating to your facility. Contact your  
system administrator for more information.  
You are then connected to the automated attendant’s voice menu.

Dial “*” in order for your call to be transferred to voice mail.  
“*” is the code used by default to consult voice mail through the  
automated attendant. It may have been replaced by “#”.

Notes:  
Interaction with the voice mail system or automated attendant  
is carried out through the exchange of DTMF codes that you  
may hear on your telephone. For an internal call, the transition  
to DTMF end-to-end dialling is automatic. It is also the default  
from an external analogue DTMF extension. From a GSM  
mobile phone, transitioning to DTMF end-to-end dialling may  
necessitate a specific operation, depending on the GSM  
mobile phone involved.  
The above method is also applicable for consulting your voice  
mail from a third party set within your facility. Simply begin  
by dialling the internal number – typically 885 – for the auto-  
mated attendant.  
An alternative solution for accessing your mailbox from out-  
side your facility is dialling your DID number. If your extension  
is successfully connected to the voice mail system, the rest  
of the procedure is identical to that described.  
Consulting Services and Managing  
Your Voice Mail  
Whether you consult your voice mail from your own extension, from  
a third party set, or from an external network, once you are connected  
to your mailbox’s consultation menu, the services offered to you for  
processing your messages are always the same.  
This also is true of the personalisation services for your mailbox,  
accessed in the same manner (see details to follow).  
Initially, your mailbox will indicate how many voice messages were  
recorded, according to one of the following two system message  
forms:  
“You have X new messages and Y old messages”.  
“You have no message. Please hang-up or dial * to customise  
your mailbox”.

The voice mail system distinguishes new messages that have not  
been heard from those that have already been heard and that were  
subsequently automatically archived, unless you specifically erased  
them.  
These are organised into two distinct lists, where each type of  
message is sorted in chronological order from the oldest to the  
newest.  
They are consulted beginning with new messages, from the oldest  
to the newest, then continue with the archived messages, from the  
oldest to the newest.  
Next, the consultation menu will indicate the various services that  
are available for managing your messages. You may listen to it in its  
entirety, or interrupt it at any time by dialling a service code.  
Note: The consultation menu is repeated up to 3 times if you  
do not execute an action when it is being played. It is also  
automatically repeated when a service has been success-  
fully completed.  
The services available for listening to voice messages are as follows:

concerning when your message was left are transmitted vocally on  
your extension (according to one of the forms described below), and  
then your current message is restarted.  
“Message received at HHMM to-day”.  
“Message received at HHMM on DDMM”.  
Once you have listened to your messages in whole or in part, you  
may then individually erase each message, or request that your  
entire mailbox be erased. To do so:

Automatic Call-Back to the Party Who  
Left a Message  
When you are consulting a voice message, you also have the option  
of automatically calling the number that the system automatically  
saved when the caller left the message.  
This may consist of an internal or external calling party, according to  
his/her identification provided by the ISDN network (or equivalent).  
To do this, while listening to a message:  
0

Simply dial “0”.  
The person who left the message is then automatically called and  
the call is established just as if you had manually dialled the internal  
or external party’s number.  
Additional Personal Assistant Services  
If your mailbox is set to personal assistant mode, you offer your  
calling parties the option of leaving voice messages that you may  
subsequently process as previously described.  
They also have the option of being directed to the personal assistant  
you designated – typically your secretary’s extension or your facility’s  
attendants.  
To do so, after your greeting is played, the system message is  
played and prompts each caller to leave a voice message after a  
“beep”, and also offers them the following alternative options:  
0
9
z
z
Dial “0” to be connected to your personal assistant.  
The call is then directly connected to the designated internal exten-

The call is directly routed to the attendants.  
If neither of the two preceding codes is dialled within a 3-second  
delay, the call is directed to your mailbox, by default.  
Notes:  
The number for a personal assistant may possibly be an  
external number.  
This is also the case when you are directed to you calling  
party’s mailbox that is set to personal assistant mode.

Voice Mail Services  
A voice message left for a group is automatically un-notified on  
your extension, as soon as you consult it, just as it would for an  
individual message.  
The only particularity is that a global denotification of a “common”  
message of this type will only take place after each member of the  
hunt group has consulted it.  
Common Mailbox for a Mailing List  
Independent of any hunt group notion, you or your internal calling  
parties may be assigned to a common mailbox for a mailing list in  
addition to your (their) individual mailbox.  
This enables a user to initiate a voluntary distribution of a voice  
message to the members associated with the common mailbox  
for a mailing list.  
For example, a common mailbox associated with a department  
would enable the department manager, any other member of the  
department, or even a third party to voluntarily distribute a voice  
message to all department members, to, for example, call a  
meeting.  
Access to this type of common mailbox for a mailing list is gained  
through the automated attendant usually implemented and associ-  
ated with a system’s integrated voice mail system, even when an  
automated attendant’s functions are not effectively used.  
After lifting the handset or in handsfree mode, to access this service:  
885  
z
Dial the number for your company’s automated attendant  
(AA).  
Usually, the internal number for the automated attendant is 885. If  
you need more information, contact your system administrator.  
You are then connected to the automated attendant’s voice menu.  
8
z
z
Dial “8” in order for your call to be transferred to voice mail.  
“8” is the code used to access the area for leaving voice mail  
through the automated attendant.  
MAILBOX NO  
Dial the number for the common mailbox for a mailing list you  
wish to access.  
Always beginning with a “0”, the number for a common mailbox  
may vary from 0002 to 0999.  
You may then leave your message before ending your call.  
77  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
 
Voice Mail Services  
As with a message addressed to a hunt group, this message will then  
be distributed and notification will be sent to all of the members asso-  
ciated with the common mailbox for a mailing list, in usual fashion.  
Each member may then consult it through his/her individual  
mailbox. This is carried out in the same way as for an individual  
message, with the same processing services available. There is  
no distinction in your mailbox between individual messages and  
mailing list messages.  
A mailing list voice message is automatically un-notified on each  
extension, as soon as each member consults it, just as with an  
individual message.  
Once again, the only particularity is that a global denotification of  
a “mailing list” message of this type will only take place after each  
member of the common mailbox has consulted it.  
Notes:  
On a standard system, there may be up to 16 common mail-  
boxes, each with the capacity to include up to 32 members  
or individual mailboxes. One individual internal user may be  
associated with several common mailboxes.  
The procedure is applicable from an external network; instead  
of dialling 885, you would dial the DID number for the auto-  
mated attendant. It is also applicable for leaving a message  
in an individual mailbox, without having to call the party.  
Attendants’ Common Mailbox  
Your facility’s attendants also have a common mailbox dedicated  
specifically to them, which they share.  
Its purpose is to receive – when the attendants are absent – call  
forwards of general calls that are ordinarily processed by the  
attendants, typically when your facility is set to night mode.  
This common mailbox is also accessible voluntarily. Its number is  
0001.  
This common mailbox is distinct due to the fact that when a voice  
message is left, all of the attendants’ extensions are notified; however,  
when one of them consults the message, all of the extensions are  
globally un-notified.

Integrated Web Server and Unified  
Messaging  
According to the configuration of your telephone facility, you may  
also have access to two PC applications that offer even more user-  
friendly management of your integrated voice mail services.  
The first application, called Integrated Web Server, opens the  
integrated voice messaging system for your telephone installation  
within your company’s IT network.  
In practice, this enables you to consult the messages left in your  
mailbox directly from your Multimedia desktop PC. The charac-  
teristics for each voice mail left are displayed in real time.  
You may also listen to each voice message using your Multimedia  
PC sound card, and then erase the voice message after you’ve  
listened to it.  
You also have access to all of your mailbox’s personalisation  
services directly from your desktop PC, including its general  
operating mode. All of this is carried out completely interactively  
with the integrated voice mail system.  
Note: Access to your Integrated Web Server is controlled  
by entering your extension number and user password.  
The second additional application is called Unified Messaging. Its  
purpose is to merge your facility’s integrated voice mail system with  
the e-mail system that is usually present within your company’s IT  
network.  
In practice, this application provides an e-mail notification to your  
desktop PC each time a voice message is left in your mailbox, in  
addition to the usual notification methods on your telephone exten-  
sion.  
With this application as well, you may listen to a voice message  
through your Multimedia desktop PC sound card.  
79  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
 
Voice Mail Services  
You may also use your PC to control your telephone extension to  
process each voice message, or even to return a call to someone  
who left you a voice message.  
You then have access to all of the methods available for person-  
alising your use of Unified Messaging. Most notably, you may  
manage the voice message e-mail notification address, which  
– on occasion – could be a laptop remotely connected through the  
Internet.  
Notes:  
Whenever necessary, contact your system administrator for  
more information concerning the availability of one or both  
of these applications for your telephone facility.  
The Integrated Web Server application may also offer you  
access to the internal and external directories for your  
company, through your desktop PC. With just one click of  
the mouse, you can place calls to anyone.

Group Services  
Most of the time, you will be working as a team – within a depart-  
ment, for example. Your extension offers you different additional  
services designed specifically for working as a team.  
First of all, it provides the option of supervising your colleagues’  
extensions, thus ensuring comprehensive call coverage. You may  
also very simply call a colleague or intercept calls for each other.  
Secondly, your extension may also be part of a hunt group – within  
your department or another department – that calling parties may  
call whenever they need to, not just to contact you personally, but  
to contact someone within your department.  
Your extension provides a simplified call pick-up service within a  
hunt group. It also offers you the option of managing your own  
participation in this service within the group. This is also referred to  
as the In/Out status management within a group.  
If you have been designated as the supervisor of a hunt group, you  
have the ability to open and close the hunt group according to your  
department’s business hours.  
Your extension may also offer you a broadcast group service,  
which would enable you to send

Extension Supervision and Associated  
Services  
As already indicated (see the “Operations for Outgoing Calls”  
section), you may also save numbers for your favoured parties on  
any of your extension’s 4 programmable line keys, or any of the  
repertory keys available on one or several associated satellite key  
panel(s), where applicable.  
The corresponding programming of each line or repertory key is  
entirely up to you. See the “Programming Your Extension” section.  
This enables you to very simply place a call to one of your favoured  
parties by pressing the corresponding line or repertory key.  
If the number saved corresponds to one of your colleagues, the LED  
for the same line or repertory key allows you to remotely supervise  
his/her extension, most particularly when the said extension is asso-  
ciated with a repertory key (and vice versa). Thus:  
Rx  
Rx  
Rx  
Ô
ÖÔ  
ÕÔ  
The repertory key’s LED is off when the extension you are supervising  
is free. This is also true for an extension that is supervised on a line  
key.  
The repertory key’s LED flashes when the extension you are super-  
vising is ringing. If the remote extension is supervised by a line key,  
the LED will be continuously lit, however.  
The repertory key’s LED is on when the extension you are  
supervising is busy. This is also true for an extension that is  
supervised on a line key, however there will be no distinction of the  
remote extension’s ringing status.  
This ensures mutual coverage of your calls.  
It simplifies call pick-up, with or without initial presentation, since  
all a user needs to do is press the corresponding line or repertory  
key, instead of dialling the remote extension number. See also the  
Operations for Incoming Calls” section.  
Hunt Groups  
Your extension may be part of a hunt group for which the purpose  
is to distribute calls among the members of your department or  
other group.  
A call received on your hunt group number will then be automatically  
directed to an extension within the group that is free – such as your  
own – according to predefined distribution criteria. Generally, this  
criteria is established to ensure even distribution of calls between  
the various members of the group.  
82  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
   
Group Services  
The presentation of an incoming call for your group is therefore  
carried out just as it would for an individual call presented on your  
extension – see the “Operations for Incoming Calls” section.  
As a result, you have access to all the same processing services as  
you would for your personal calls.  
If you do not answer your hunt group call within a typical 30-second  
timeframe, it may be presented to a different extension in your group  
that is free. The call may also be directed to a third party set or other  
overflow group, such as your facility’s attendants. Depending on  
the definition for each hunt group, the call may also be re-directed  
to a dissuasion message.  
If all of your hunt group’s members are busy, a call that is  
presented, as the case dictates, may be directed to a third party  
set or other overflow group, such as your facility’s attendants.  
Alternatively, depending on the definition of each group, the call  
may be placed in a call waiting queue to await a member of the  
group to be free, or directed to a dissuasion message.  
This extension, overflow group or dissuasion message may also be  
solicited when your group is closed, unless a specific call forward  
for the entire group was defined by the hunt group supervisor (see  
details to follow).  
In practice, you may be part of several hunt groups. One hunt  
group is then established as your primary group, while the others  
are considered to be secondary.  
Your primary group has a processing priority feature. Therefore,  
when there are several different calls presented on the various  
groups of which you are a part, those for your primary group will  
take precedence.  
The calls presented on your secondary groups are also automatically  
managed by the system, but without any particular priority.  
Notes:  
It is your system administrator’s job to define how each  
hunt group will operate. It is also the system administrator’s  
responsibility to define to which hunt group(s) you will be  
assigned, and which one will be your primary group.  
Your facility may contain up to 16 hunt groups.

will be automatically selected by the system.  
Your extension may also be subject to call pick-ups from  
third party sets that belong to the same group as you.  
Standby Status within a Hunt Group  
When you belong to one or several hunt groups, you may also  
manage your availability for answering calls that are directed to  
your group(s).  
This standby service enables you to temporarily withdraw from a  
hunt group. Therefore, you would only receive personal calls, or  
those that are directed to the groups from which you have not  
withdrawn.

Opening/Closing a Hunt Group  
You may be designated as a supervisor for one or several hunt  
groups, regardless of whether or not you are a member of it (them).  
This is established by a right that is assigned specifically to you by  
your system administrator.  
In relation to this (these) hunt groups for which you are in charge, it  
is your responsibility to:  
Open and close each hunt group to traffic, according to the  
members’ business hours.  
Manage a possible variable call forward for calls directed to the  
group when it is closed.  
This variable call forward is immediate, and is set to be forwarded  
exclusively to an internal user, to a different hunt group, or to your  
system’s integrated voice mail system, if it exists (see the “Voice  
Mail Services” section).  
The call forward will then replace a possible fixed call forward to an  
overflow group, or a dissuasion message that may be pre-defined  
in terms of each group’s configuration.

Broadcast Groups  
Independent of any hunt groups to which you belong, you may  
belong to one or several broadcast group(s); or similarly, you may  
have a specific right to send announcements to one or several  
broadcast group(s).  
The broadcast service is an optional service, which, when initially  
requested, enables an authorized user to send a voice page to a  
group of digital extensions that are equipped with a loudspeaker  
and who belong to the given pre-defined broadcast group list.  
The extensions targeted for this voice announcement are all free  
extensions within the selected broadcast group; their loudspeakers  
will be automatically activated.  
This broadcast is always unidirectional. Microphones on any  
remote extensions are never activated. The parties contacted do  
not have the option of answering the announcement broadcasted,  
in order to begin a conversation with the originator.  
To use this service, after lifting the handset or in handsfree mode:

Dial the number for the broadcast group you wish to contact.  
Depending on the broadcast group, this number varies from one  
facility to another. You may consult the guide integrated within your

fined for this purpose for your facility. See the “Programming Your

Notes:  
Typically, the time limit for this service is 20 seconds. After  
this time limit expires, the service is automatically ended,  
whether you are the requestor, or whether your extension is  
part of the targeted broadcast group.  
It is your system administrator’s job to define to which  
broad-  
cast group(s) you belong. This is also the case in relation to  
the specific right necessary for initiating a broadcast to any  
group whatsoever, whether or not you belong to it.  
Your facility may have up to 5 broadcast groups, each of  
which may contain up to 32 members  
Personal Group Services  
While it’s not really a group service, you also have access to a  
personal group, which is designed for grouping various extensions  
that may be assigned to you (up to 5 extensions) – for example,  
your Dialog 4223 Professional extension, and a DECT cordless  
phone.  
The specific services offered to you are as follows:  
You can be contacted through just one number, common to  
your entire personal group.  
When you place a call to any party, you are identified by your  
personal group number, no matter what extension you use to  
place your call.  
An incoming call is presented on all of your personal group’s  
extensions, allowing you to answer it on any of them. If all  
extensions in your personal group are free, they will all ring  
simultaneously. If you have an ongoing call on any given  
extension, the call is presented to you on that extension in  
the usual way (call waiting tone, etc.) On each of the other  
extensions – when it is possible – the call will be presented  
with silent ringing, a line key will flash, and the usual call  
information will be displayed on the screen.  
You have the option of carrying out a simplified call transfer  
between extensions within your personal group (other than from  
a Dialog 4425 IP Vision or Dialog 4422 IP Office extension). To  
do so, simply place your current call on hold and replace. The  
call is then represented on all of your personal group extensions;  
therefore you may pick it up on any of them.

Group Services  
Mobile Extension Service  
If you frequently travel outside the office, you will generally have a  
GSM mobile phone in addition to your Dialog 4223 Professional  
extension.  
Once again, without truly being a group service, the Mobile  
Extension service may be of use to you. Its purpose is to allow  
external users – of GSM mobile phones most particularly – to  
access your company’s network, and thus be able to use the  
system as if they were internal users.  
In practice, a Mobile Extension terminal is managed in the same  
way as a dummy internal user associated with the external GSM  
mobile number.  
To process these calls, the GSM mobile telephone connects to a  
specific DID number for the facility, which accesses the Mobile  
Extension server.  
By connecting through the public ISDN network, the GSM mobile  
telephone is then automatically authenticated by its external calling  
number. By default, authentication can be carried out by manually  
dialling the dummy internal number associated as well as the  
corresponding user’s password.  
Once authenticated, the GSM mobile telephone user may call any  
internal or external number, just as if he/she were dialling from the  
internal dummy extension. The user’s identity that is transmitted to  
the called parties is the information for the internal dummy extension.  
The mobile GSM telephone user may, in the same way, gain access  
to all telephone services to which the internal dummy extension has  
authorisation to access.  
The GSM mobile telephone may also be directly called through the  
number associated with the internal dummy extension. This may  
be used in conjunction with a personal group. However, the GSM  
mobile telephone will still retain its regular number.  
Note: The Mobile Extension service is also totally applicable  
to your residential extension connected to the pubic ISDN  
network. Whenever necessary, contact your system admin-  
istrator for more information concerning the availability of  
this specific service for your telephone facility.

Your extension may also offer you, depending on your user rights,  
other services that are geared toward improving your productivity,  
securing the use of your telephone, or just making its use even  
more enjoyable.  
Within this context, the following services are offered:  
Locking service: You may lock your extension when you are  
absent, preventing any third party from using it.  
Appointment reminder service: You may request that the system  
call you at a specified time, in order to remind you of a meeting,  
etc.  
Background music service: Depending on your user rights, you  
may request that background music be played over your idle  
extension’s loudspeaker.  
Other specific services may also be offered, depending on the  
rights assigned to your extension, or your facility’s configuration.  
More specifically, your extension may also provide you with the  
means to control your external ISDN call costs.  
Locking Your Extension  
When you are absent, you can lock your extension, restricting its  
use by any third party.  
When your extension is locked, it is impossible to access the  
external network. Only the external emergency numbers may be  
dialled – typically 15, 17, 18, and 112.  
It remains impossible, however, to place internal calls and/or  
receive any type of call whatsoever.  
Your personal data – your extension’s programming data and call  
log file – cannot be accessed. Access to the services usually offered  
by your extension may also be restricted.

sion, you may request that background music be played over your  
idle extension’s loudspeaker.  
Depending on your facility’s configuration, you may then select one  
of 6 background music selections.  
Once the broadcast has been activated, the background music  
selected will be heard whenever your extension is idle. However, it  
will be automatically interrupted when an incoming call is presented  
to you on your extension, or when you place an outgoing call. At  
the end of your call, the background music will be played once

Hot Line Call to Attendants  
According to a specific right assigned to your extension, you may  
also be allowed to take advantage of the hot line call to attendants  
service.  
In this case, whether in handset or handsfree mode, a call to your  
facility’s attendants will be placed when your phone has been off  
the hook for a typical delay of 0.8 seconds, without any action  
required on your part.  
You still have the option of calling any internal or external party by  
dialling a number (or any other equivalent action) before this time-  
frame expires.

More Features of Your Extension  
Protection against External Calls Being  
Re-Routed to Attendants  
Usually, your external calling parties can contact you from external  
network(s), directly through your direct calling numbers, or DID  
numbers (Direct Inward Dialling).  
They may also contact you through your facility’s general number.  
In this case, your incoming external calls are directed through your  
facility’s attendants.  
An external call is presented to you whether your extension is free or  
busy. If it is busy, it will usually be automatically placed on camp-on  
for your extension (unless your extension is equipped with specific  
protection against such).  
If you do not respond to an external call, after a typical delay  
of 30 seconds, the call is directed (or returned) to your facility’s  
attendants for processing.  
Following the specific rights assigned to your extension, you may  
have access to protection against your external calls being directed  
to your facility’s attendants.  
This protection may be manifested by:  
Restricted protection on no-answer condition: external calls  
presented on your extension when its status is “free” will then  
ring continuously, without a time limit, until you answer it, or  
the caller ends the call.  
Restricted protection on busy condition: external calls presented  
on your extension when its status is “busy” will remained on  
camp-on, without a time limit, until you answer it, or the caller  
ends the call.  
Extended protection: this combines the two previous cases.  
In all cases, this protection against the re-direction of your calls to  
the automated attendant is never dependant upon any action on  
your part.

MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
 
More Features of Your Extension  
Secret of Identity  
When your facility is connected to the ISDN network, your identity  
is usually transmitted to your external calling parties, and vice  
versa.  
According to the specific right assigned to your extension, it is  
possible that your identity not be divulged to your external ISDN  
network calling parties.  
This is therefore systematically valid for all of your outgoing ISDN  
network calls, without any specific action on your part.  
Your identity is divulged, however, for your internal calls, and you  
still receive the information concerning your external incoming  
calling parties.  
Tracing Malicious Calls  
It is possible that at some time, you may be subjected to malicious  
calls from external parties (usually received from an ISDN network)  
who hide their identity. See the “Operations for Incoming Calls”  
section.  
When your facility is connected to the ISDN network, you may  
request that these malicious calls be traced, thus finding out the  
malicious caller’s name and number, and that this information be  
saved on the public network.  
This assumes, however that you have made a prior request to the  
operator responsible for the public network to which your facility is  
connected.  
Assuming this condition has been met, requesting a malicious call  
tracing may be carried out on an established call, whether in single  
or enquiry mode, as well as when the call is being disconnected by  
the remote malicious caller.  
To do this, during a call:

Press the dynamic function key shown on the left.  
Your request for malicious call tracing is transmitted over the ISDN  
network, and the call proceeds normally.  
If the call is being disconnected by the remote caller, all you need to  
do is disconnect the call yourself.

Conversation Recording  
If your telephone system is equipped with “Integrated Voice Mail”,  
and you have a “Mailbox”, the conversation recording service  
allows you to record any telephone conversation so that you may  
then subsequently be able to listen to it from your “Mailbox”.  
The recorded conversation is then processed just as any voice  
message left in your mailbox (see also the “Voice Mail Services”  
section).  
To begin recording a conversation, after informing your caller:

According to the configuration of your telephone system, an intrusion  
tone may periodically sound, reminding the user that the conversa-  
tion is still being recorded.  
You may stop the current recording and then re-start it by re-starting  
the entire procedure.  
Notes:  
Recording a conversation without your caller’s prior  
consent may be illegal, as may be sending this recording to  
a third party.  
The initiator must absolutely request the caller’s consent  
prior to beginning the recording, at the conclusion of the  
recording, and for any subsequent use of the recording.  
Compliance with the law is the exclusive responsibility of  
the user; any violation may be subject to legal action.  
Neither the manufacturer nor the distributor may be held  
responsible for any abusive use of this function by the user,  
or by any other damage that may result.  
This service is available for a single call in progress, as well  
as a broker’s call, for which you may record each portion of  
the conversation with one or all of your calling parties.

network, it also usually displays the cost for the current call.  
According to your public telecommunications exchange, the display

Notes:  
Your system administrator or facility’s attendants have the  
ability to access all charge counters. They (system admin-  
istrator/attendants) are the only ones who may reset the  
charge counters to zero. See the “Services Reserved for  
Attendants” section.  
Your extension may also be subject to call detailed records.  
This usually involves your outgoing external calls, however  
they may also refer to your internal and incoming calls.  
These records save the details for each involved call:  
number called, date and time, length, etc. These records  
are generally used by your system administrator to monitor  
your telephone facility’s invoicing. If necessary, contact your  
system administrator for more details.  
Account Codes  
According to your working mode, you may wish to impute the cost  
of your external calls to different accounts. Your telephone system  
can do this through account codes that you simply enter when  
placing outgoing external calls.  
To establish an outgoing external call using an account code, after  
lifting the handset or in handsfree mode:  
NET. PREF.  
z
First, dial the network access prefix adapted to this service.  
Generally, this consists of a network access prefix that is reserved  
for placing outgoing external calls that are subject to account codes.  
Ask your system administrator for this prefix.  
102  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
 
More Features of Your Extension  
ACCOUNT C.  
z
z
Then, directly dial the account code to which your external  
call should be imputed.  
Account code formats are a fixed length. All account codes are  
typically 4 digits, however they may reach up to 15 digits in length.  
Generally, they end with “#”, which acts as a separator. In all cases,  
account codes are defined by your system administrator.  
EXT. NO  
Next, dial the desired external phone number.  
Your outgoing external call is then transmitted over the public net-  
work, just as an external call without an account code would be.  
Thus, the call detailed record will not only contain the date, time,  
number called, length, and cost of the call, but also the account  
code that you entered. This then can be used to invoice your  
clients.  
Note: The implementation of this specific service assumes  
that your facility uses the Least Cost Routing (LCR) method  
for external calls. It also assumes that, at the very least, these  
outgoing calls are subjected to call detailed records that are  
managed within an external charging server. Contact your  
system administrator for more information. He/she will also  
provide you with the accepted account code format.

Your extension features a selection of 10 different ring melodies,  
and 10 ring volume levels in order to better adapt to the acoustics  
in your office.  
In the same way, your extension also features a loudspeaker that has  
11 different volume levels in order to adapt to the various conditions  
that arise when communicating in handsfree or loudspeaker mode.  
This listening volume level is also applied to the handset.

Managing the Uni/Bidirectional  
Characteristics of Announcements  
Received on Your Extension  
When an internal calling party attempts to contact you without  
success, it is possible that he/she may activate a voice page to  
be played when your extension is freed.  
He/she may transmit a message that you will hear over your  
extension’s loudspeaker. See also the “Operations for Outgoing  
Calls” section.  
The automatic and simultaneous connection of your extension’s  
microphone depends on your choice of services:  
If you wish to answer a voice announcement without lifting the  
handset, you may opt for bidirectional voice announcements on  
your extension. The microphone will therefore be automatically  
activated at the same time as your loudspeaker.  
If you wish prevent your voice from being heard when these  
announcements are played, you may opt for unidirectional voice  
announcements on your extension. Doing so will prevent the  
microphone from being automatically activated.

Attendant-Based Services  
Besides the services that are accessible or that may be assigned to  
a Dialog 4223 Professional extension, additional services are also  
available for the system’s attendants.  
Within this context, the following services are offered:  
Call offer or intrusion: This service allows attendants to interrupt  
an ongoing call to present an urgent call.  
Do not disturb override service: Similarly, this service allows the  
attendant to override the “Do not disturb” status to present an  
urgent call.  
General calls acceptance: This service enables attendants to  
control their active or inactive status for processing a system’s  
general calls, in relation to their shifts.  
Door phone service: Your facility may be equipped with a door  
phone; calls from this extension are usually processed by the  
attendants.  
Call pick-up for a general calls that are ringing: Your facility may  
be equipped with a common bell that receives general calls when  
the attendants’ lines are congested, or when they are absent.  
Complete third party call forward service: This service allows  
attendants to define any type of call forward for a user’s  
account, without restrictions.  
According to the specific rights assigned to your extension, you may  
also have access to these attendant-based services.  
116  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
           
Attendant-Based Services  
Call Offer or Intrusion  
The call offer or intrusion service is usually reserved for your  
facility’s attendants, enabling them to intervene during an ongoing  
call, in order to present an urgent call destined for one of the calling  
parties.  
According to a specific right assigned to your extension, you may  
also have access to the call offer service. In this case, you may also  
intervene in an ongoing call to present your call or a call on-hold on  
your extension to one of the parties.  
When you call a party whose status is busy:

INTRUSION  
CALL_BACK  
FLASH  
INTRUSION  
Press the dynamic function key shown on the left.  
You then enter into a 3-way conference call between yourself and  
the two parties involved in the ongoing call. Usually, a warning tone  
is heard at a regular frequency during this conference call to remind  
the parties that they are still under call intrusion status.  
You may then present your call to the desired party.  
By pressing the line key on which your call is presented, this party  
may enter into private conversation with you, as their first call is  
placed on hold. He/she may also end the first call, and would then  
be re-rung by your call, in the usual manner.  
If you have someone on hold on your own extension, you may then  
transfer that urgent call in the usual manner.  
Notes:  
You may also be subjected to this service, which is most  
often used by attendants.  
Certain extensions (such as yours) may possibly be equipped  
with permanent protection against call intrusion. If this is the  
case, this service will obviously be refused.  
Depending on the configuration for your facility defined by  
your system administrator, these services may be used  
from specific extensions that are duly authorised, without  
any warning tones being emitted. This refers to the Silent  
call monitoring service.

Do Not Disturb Override Service  
The Do not disturb override service is usually reserved for your  
facility’s attendants, enabling them to override an extension’s Do  
not disturb status in order to present an urgent call.  
According to a specific right assigned to your extension, you may  
also have access to this service. In this case, you may also override  
an extension’s Do not disturb status to present your call or a call  
on-hold on your extension.  
When you call a party who has programmed the Do not disturb  
status on his/her extension, (see also the “Call Forwarding Services”  
section):

When your calling party answers, you will enter into communication  
with him/her. If you have someone on hold on your own extension,  
you may then transfer that urgent call in the typical fashion.  
Note: You may also be subjected to this service, which is  
most often used by attendants.  
General Call Acceptance  
The general calls acceptance service is usually used by your  
facility’s attendants who are in charge of processing your system’s  
general calls – most often the external calls received on your  
facility’s general phone number, or external calls redirected when  
the internal users do not answer or are busy.  
Similar to the standby status that is available when you belong to  
hunt groups, the general calls acceptance service enables attendants  
to control their active or inactive status for processing a system’s  
general calls, in relation to their vacation periods.  
According to the rights assigned to your extension, you may also  
have access to the general calls acceptance service. This is  
generally the case. When necessary, this allows you to assist the  
attendants by answering calls when their lines are congested or  
when they are temporarily absent.  
118  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
   
Attendant-Based Services  
When you activate this general calls acceptance service on your  
extension, not only will you receive your personal calls, but also  
your facility’s general calls.  
These will be presented to you in the same way as usual, with the  
external calling party’s information displayed on your screen. See  
the “Operations for Incoming Calls” section.  
You will, however, be able to distinguish them from your personal  
calls with a specific message such as:  
I. DIRECT or I. UNUSED NUMBER for a call received on your  
facility’s general number, or on non-assigned DID numbers,  
I. NO ANSWER FROM <Name> for a call re-directed when an  
identified internal user does not answer,  
I. BUSY ON <Name> for a call re-directed when an identified  
internal user’s line is busy.  
You may then process each call just as you would one of your  
personal calls.

When you have the right to the service, a digit may be dis-

Whether or not the service is active on your extension, it will  
indicate the number of calls currently being processed by  
the attendants. If it is flashing, this means that at least one  
call is waiting to be processed. The purpose of this digit is  
to encourage you to activate the general calls acceptance  
service on your extension.  
Answering a Call from a Door Phone  
Your telephone facility may be equipped with a door phone, the  
calls from which are usually processed by the attendants, just as  
the general calls are for your facility.  
According to a right assigned to your extension, you may be  
allowed to answer calls from a door phone. This is generally the  
case.  
The general calls acceptance service previously described, also  
manages your ability to assist the attendants by accepting or  
declining door phone calls.  
A door phone call is presented exactly as any other incoming call  
would be.  
Notes:  
The presentation of a door phone call usually lasts no more  
than 30 seconds. After this timeframe, the door phone call  
will be automatically disconnected. A door phone call may  
not be placed on hold, nor may it be transferred.  
The door phone is usually logged on by an electrical  
mechanism independent from your telephone facility.

Complete Third Party Call Forward  
Service  
You have access to the Follow me or third party call forward  
services that allow you to remotely program call forwarding from  
the extension that will become the recipient. See also the “Call  
Forwarding Services” section.  
Your facility’s attendants have access to a complete third party call  
forwarding service that enables them to define a call forward for  
any user’s account, including yours.  
This may consist of a call forward on no-answer condition, a call  
forward on busy condition, a call forward on no-answer and busy  
conditions, or an immediate call forward. It may also consist of a  
call forward on Do not disturb condition, or a call forward on mini-  
message condition.  
When applicable, the number to which calls may be forwarded  
could be an internal party’s individual extension, a hunt group,  
another user’s personal group, or even the access number for an  
integrated voice mail system that your facility may use. It may also  
consist of an external number.  
Programming this third party call forwarding service is carried  
out similarly to the Follow me service – see the “Call Forwarding  
Services” section.  
First, they simply dial the extension number to call forward from,  
and then designate the internal or external call forward recipient, if  
applicable.  
When an attendant carries out this operation, he/she does not  
need to enter any user passwords – not even his/her own.  
A call forward programmed in this manner is effective immediately.  
In terms of the rights assigned to your extension and each targeted  
recipient extension, it may be possible for you to program call for-  
wards on behalf of a third party account.  
Generally speaking, this assumes that you know the third party’s  
user password for whom you are programming the third party call  
forward.  
Note: Besides attendants, there are certain users – perhaps  
yourself – who may also have the privileged right to program  
third party call forwards without entering any user passwords.

The management of the common bell service, which – when it  
is available – allows general calls that have not been answered  
by the attendants to be answered by users who have activated  
this service.  
You also have access to several basic management services for

Operations for General Calls in Day Mode  
As an attendant, your role is to process your facility’s general calls  
during your shift.  
When we refer to “Day mode”, we are referring to the mode that is  
automatically activated when you assume your duties (or when the  
first attendant does so), and remains applicable as long as your  
status (or at least one attendant’s status) remains in active general  
calls acceptance mode (see details to follow).  
Your facility’s general calls are, firstly, all of the external calls  
received on your facility’s general number – not those that are  
initially routed to a specific user.  
Secondly, they are the calls that are directly addressed to joint DID  
(Direct Inward Dialling) users that are automatically re-directed to  
you, as a result of a no-answer or busy condition for the said users,  
and usually within a timeframe of 30 seconds.  
These general calls are presented simultaneously to all active attend-  
ants, with a specific message that enables you to distinguish them:  
I. DIRECT or I. UNUSED NUMBER for a call received on your  
facility’s general number, or on a non-assigned DID numbers,  
I. NO ANSWER FROM <Name> for a call re-directed when an  
identified internal user does not answer,  
I. BUSY ON <Name> for a call re-directed when an identified  
internal user’s line is busy.  
The letter “I”, which stands for “Instance” indicates that this consists  
of a call that has not yet been processed on any of your facility’s  
extensions.

You may then process each call just as you would one of your

within your telephone facility.  
The call transfer may be made after you have conversed with the  
requested party, but it may also be transferred directly on his/her  
extension’s ringing or busy conditions. See also the “Operations  
during a Call” section.  
If the calling party is an external caller, you retain supervision of the  
transferred call until the requested internal user has answered.

At any time, you may then return to this camped-on call by pressing  
the associated line key. The call to the requested internal user is then  
cancelled.  
You may also elect not to supervise the external calls that you transfer  
when the requested internal user does not answer or is busy.  
The system will automatically present them to you once again, if the  
call is not processed by the requested party within a typical timeframe  
of 30 seconds.  
It is also possible that external calls processed by you or another  
user are returned to you, for example, on a no-answer condition for  
a second transfer.  
These calls will be accompanied by the following messages:  
R. NO ANSWER FROM <Name> for a call re-directed to you  
when an identified internal user does not answer.  
R. BUSY ON <Name> for a call re-directed to you when an  
identified internal user’s line is busy.  
The letter “R” stands for “Return”, and replaces the letter “I” for  
“Instance”, which indicates, then, that the call has already been

Designated day overflow extensions. Facilities may have up to  
A possible common bell that may be part of your telephone  
facility.  
The preferred call overflow plan depends on your facility’s settings,  
just as with the day overflow extensions.  
In the second case, your facility’s users are generally allowed to  
pick up a general call presented with the common bell. See the

periods. These users are then presented with the general calls at  
the same time as the active attendants. See the “Attendant-Based

When there are no longer any active attendants, the system auto-  
matically switches to night mode.  
In night mode, general calls are usually directed immediately to:  
Designated night extensions. A facility may be composed of up  
to 10 night extensions, which, when in night mode, have access  
to the same services attendants have in day mode.  
A possible common bell that may be part of your telephone  
facility.  
The designation of these night extensions depends on how your  
facility is programmed.  
Moreover, general calls may also be simultaneously redirected to a  
night call forward recipient that is programmable on a daily basis,  
either by you or another attendant when your position is deactivated.  
The recipient of this programmable night call forward may be an  
internal or external number.  
In the case where general calls were routed to the common bell, your  
facility’s users are generally allowed to pick up a general call pre-  
sented with the common bell. See the “Attendant-Based Services”  
section.  
Users who have activated general calls acceptance on their exten-  
sions may also answer general calls in night mode. These users are  
then presented with the general calls at the same time as the pre-  
viously mentioned extensions. See the “Attendant-Based Services”  
section.

Notes:  
Your facility may also be equipped with an automated  
attendant that is usually a complement to an integrated  
voice mail system. This automated attendant may be active  
in day and/or night mode. In the first case, it allows you to  
relieve call congestion. In the second case, it allows general  
calls to be directed typically to a common mailbox that is  
reserved for all of your facility’s attendants. See also the

System General Call Forward  
In relation to your facility’s connection to the ISDN network, your  
specific rights as an attendant include the ability to program a  
system general call forward.  
This call forward is an immediate call forward that is directly  
managed at the ISDN network level.  
It is applicable to all incoming calls for your facility, which will system-  
atically be directed to the external number that was defined. This  
then includes both general calls as well as those received through  
DID (Direct Inward Dialling), destined for internal users who now  
may not be contacted at all.

Managing the Use of the Common Bell  
Service  
Your telephone facility may feature a common bell service to which  
your facility’s general calls will be directed when they are not  
answered by an attendant, or any other user who could possibly  
assist.  
This applies in day mode, after a typical timeframe of 60 seconds,

MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
   
Services Reserved for Attendants  
According to the system’s programming, there may be from 0  
to 36 personal abbreviated lists, identified from “01” to “36”.  
These lists are shared between groups of extensions. A personal  
abbre-  
viated list, for example, may be reserved for attendants.  
Each personal list may include up to 20 abbreviated numbers taking  
on a value between “00” and “19”.  
The size of the general list depends on the number of personal lists  
that are used, with abbreviated numbers that generally have the

For the “NAME” entry, you may recall that letters are obtained  
by successively pressing corresponding keypad numbers  
once, twice or three times.  
The “TKGR” field corresponds to the (outgoing) trunks group  
used to place a call that was dialled using abbreviated  
dialling. Generally, the value “1” corresponds to the public  
network trunk, and does not need to be modified. Once  
the cursor is properly positioned within the field using the  
“CURSOR+” function, you may then modify the value from  
“2” to “8” using the “MODIFY” function. Contact your system  
administrator for more information.  
An abbreviated number is generally complete. The  
“COMPL” field displays the “Y” for “Yes”. An abbreviated  
number may possibly be incomplete, in which case those  
who use it must complete it manually, each time it is used.  
This may, for example, allow access to a series of external  
numbers using just one abbreviated number. Once the  
cursor is properly positioned within the “COMPL” field using  
the “CURSOR+” function, you may then modify the value to  
“N” for “No” using the “MODIFY” function.

QSIG-MD Private Network Services  
QSIG-MD Private Network Services  
Depending on the configuration of your telephone system, this  
may be integrated within a QSIG-MD private network, which  
groups various MD Evolution systems within your company.  
These systems may be connected by:  
Digital tie lines to a telecommunications operator. These digital tie  
lines are therefore reserved for private calls within your company’s  
network.  
Your company’s Intranet network, local area network (LAN), or  
wide area network (WAN). In this case private telephone calls  
between network calls are transmitted over the IP network, at the  
same time as data that is exchanged between your company’s  
various sites.  
In the second case, there are two possible techniques:  
The first, called IP-Trunking, uses proprietary messages that  
are exchanged over the IP network. This applies when up to  
7 MD Evolution systems are networked.  
The second technique, called IP-Networking, uses standardised  
IP H.323 messages that are exchanged over the IP network.  
This applies for a wide area network, which may include more  
than 100 MD Evolution systems.  
No matter the case and regardless of the private call supports used  
within your companys private network, the majority of the  
telephone services available locally between two of your facility’s  
internal users become available to the private users connected  
through remote nodes.  
Moreover, if IP-Trunking networking occurs over an IP network,  
a non-IP hand-over service is also available for occasions where  
there may be a downgrade in the voice transmission over the IP  
network.  
142  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
   
QSIG-MD Private Network Services  
Available QSIG-MD Private Network  
Services  
If your MD Evolution telephone system is integrated within a QSIG-  
MD private network that combines other MD Evolution systems  
within your company, the majority of telephone services available  
locally between two internal users of your telephone facility are also  
available between private users connected through remote nodes.  
The tables below establish the general list of different services  
available within the network, listed in the order in which they  
appear in this guide.  
These services are used on the network in the same way as they  
are within your facility.  
When necessary, you may simply dial the private network number for  
the party you wish to contact, rather than dial the internal extension  
number.  
In the case where a network generally uses a homogenous dialling  
plan, a private network number typically follows this format:  
<LC><DN>, where <LC> is a local code identifying each system or  
network node (1 to 3 digits, depending on the size of the network),  
while <DN> is simply the internal number for the involved party,  
within his/her own system or node.  
Whenever necessary, ask your system administrator for more  
information concerning the local codes applicable within your  
private company network.

QSIG-MD Private Network Services  
Notes:  
The voice message services are available only if an integrated  
voice mail system is available for each private network within  
a company.  
Within the framework of a company’s private network, the  
attendants may be decentralised on each network node, or  
centralised on a systems subset. From an attendant’s per-  
spective, private calls between nodes may be processed  
like external calls, or considered to be calls local to a node.  
Certain services are only available to a network depending  
on the specific rights assigned to your extension. This is  
applicable for the following services: supervision of network  
extension statuses, secret of identity for private calls, and  
general calls acceptance for private calls.  
Non-IP Hand-Over Service  
If your telephone system is integrated within a QSIG-MD private  
network, and your calls are routed over your company’s Intranet  
network, which managed according to the IP-Trunking technique,  
you may also have access to a non-IP hand-over service.  
The quality of communications established over the Internet network  
is generally good, mostly thanks to the implementation of a system  
that gives voice calls priority over data transmitted on the IP network.  
However, occasions may arise where the quality of the voice trans-  
mission of calls over the IP network is reduced. The non-IP hand-  
over service allows you to request that your current call be switched  
to a possible private digital tie line, or the public network (depending  
on availability).  
To activate this service during an ongoing call established over your  
company’s IP network:  
FRI 20-APR 15:28  
L1 SMITH Peter-405  
HAND OVER  
01:33  
>
MSG+DISC  
FLASH  
HAND OVER  
Press the dynamic function key shown on the left.  
Your call on the IP network is switched over to the non-IP network  
immediately, without interrupting your call.  
Note: The “HAND OVER” function is only available,  
obviously, when your call has been established on the IP  
network. The non-IP hand-over service is not available for  
QSIG-MD private networks using an Intranet network  
managed according to the IP-Networking technique.

Installing Your Extension  
Installing Your Extension  
Your Dialog 4223 Professional is usually installed by your system  
administrator.  
However, this section provides you with all of the instructions for  
installing your extension yourself and for maintaining it.  
Installing Your Extension’s Telephone  
Cords  
Your extension is connected to your facility’s telephone facility  
through a line cable that connects into the RJ12 female jack  
labelled LINE, located on the underside of your extension.  
The handset cord is connected to the RJ12 female connector  
labelled HANDSET located, once again, on the underside of your  
extension. This may be installed so that it comes out of either the  
left or right side of your extension. In the first case, the handset  
cord should be inserted in the slot made for this purpose, as  
illustrated in the diagrams below.  
When it is necessary to disconnect a cord, it is recommended that  
you use a screwdriver to depress the release tab on the RJ12 male  
connector.

Installing Your Extension  
Installing Your Extension’s Support Feet,  
and Adjusting the Angle  
Your extension is equipped with two support feet that have two  
possible installation angles, depending on the angle you prefer for  
your extension.  
To install the support feet, push them into the underside of your  
extension to the desired angle, then push in the tab to hold their  
position.  
If you wish to remove the support feet, pull on the tab to release  
them before removing the feet from the extension.  
148  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
 
Installing Your Extension  
Adjusting the Screen Angle  
Your extension’s screen is also adjustable, allowing you to choose  
the best possible viewing angle.  
To adjust the screen angle, simply push or pull the screen as  
illustrated below.  
Installing Your Extension’s Label  
Your extension also comes with a label that identifies each fixed  
function key’s use. You may also indicate what functions have  
been programmed on your extension’s various line keys (see the  
Programming Your Extension” section.)  
This label is protected by a plastic cover.  
To insert or remove the label, lift the protective cover as illustrated  
below.  
Note: If you need a new label, contact your system  
administrator.

Installing Your Extension  
Miscellaneous Tips for Installing and  
Maintaining Your Extension  
Most often, your extension will be installed on your desk. Here are  
a few additional tips:  
Never place your extension on fragile surfaces. To prevent it  
from scratching your desk, place an anti-skid mat underneath  
your extension.  
Never place your telephone near any source of extreme heat,  
for example – next to a radiator.  
Make sure that the line cable is never crimped.  
Use a soft, slightly damp (not wet) or anti-static cloth to clean your  
extension. Never use any abrasive solvents, liquids or cloths to  
clean your extension.  
Aastra cannot be held responsible for any damage to your tele-  
phone caused by any non-compliance with the above instructions.  
Installing Your Extension on a Wall  
Your extension may also be installed on a wall support, without any  
particular accessories.  
To do so, you must first rotate the hanging clip on the extension,  
thus ensuring that your extension’s handset will be secure. It is  
made of flexible plastic.  
According to the instructions illustrated on the next page:  
Begin by removing the hanging clip with a screwdriver.  
Flip the clip over.  
Re-insert it into your extension.  
150  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
   
Installing Your Extension  
Using a screwdriver, remove the plastic covers from the two holes  
located on the underside of your extension. These holes are pre-  
cut, and indicate where the screw heads will be inserted to mount  
the extension on the wall.  
Next, drill two holes that will hold your extension’s wall mounting  
screws. These screws should be in compliance with the diagrams  
below, with a vertical distance of 100 mm between them.  
9,5 mm  
9—10 mm  
max 5,5 mm  
Now, simply insert the two wall mount screws into the holes on the  
underside of your extension.

Your Extension’s Accessories  
Your Extension’s Accessories  
You may also add the following optional accessories to your exten-  
sion:  
One or several DBY 419 01 satellite(s) or add-on key panel(s).  
From one (1) to four (4) satellite(s), each one offering 17 repertory  
keys that may be programmed with your most often used internal  
or external telephone numbers or telephone service codes.  
A DBY 420 01 add-on interface module.  
As the case may dictate, this module may enable you to connect,  
for example, an external ring device, or an external device visually  
indicating your extension’s free, ringing, or busy status.  
A headset.  
This can allow you to process your calls using a headset, rather  
than in handsfree or handset mode.  
This is especially useful for ICD group agents who process  
phone calls all day long.  
This section provides you with all of the instructions necessary for  
installing these accessories. It also includes the instructions for using  
a headset.  
For the programming and use of the add-on key panels’ or satellites’  
repertory keys, see the “Programming Your Extension”,  
Operations for Outgoing Calls” and “Group Services” sections.  
Note: You may add up to 4 satellites on your extension  
without requiring any additional power supply units. All of  
the satellites are powered from your extension, which is  
powered through the telephone system.  
152  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
       
Your Extension’s Accessories  
Installing Add-on Key Panels  
You can install your add-on key panel without any particular tools  
or accessories.  
These panels are connected using a rigid connector designed to  
attach the first satellite to the underside of your extension, and  
each subsequent satellite to the underside of the previous one.  
These modules are held in place by a tulip-shaped pin that is inserted  
in the appropriate hole on the underside of your extension or the  
previous satellite, as well as the plastic slots located along the edge  
of your extension or satellite.  
So, to install any satellite, simply follow the directions illustrated in  
the following diagram:  
With your extension upside down, position the new satellite  
along the edge of your extension or previous satellite.  
Press firmly on the bottom of the satellite in order to correctly  
insert it onto your extension or the previous satellite.  
When removing a satellite, press firmly on the top in order to  
disconnect the plastic connector and the tulip-shaped pin.  
Just as with your extension, each satellite has a support foot that  
can be installed and adjusted to one of two positions, according to  
the angle you have set for your extension.  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
153  
Your Extension’s Accessories  
Depending on the number of satellites connected to your extension,  
it is suggested that you position the support feet according to the  
diagrams illustrated below.  
As you did with your extension, to install the support feet, push  
them into the underside of your extension to the desired angle,  
then push in the tab to secure their position.  
If you wish to remove the support feet, pull on the tab to release  
them before removing the feet from the extension.  
Inserting the Labels for the Add-on  
Key Panels  
Each satellite is designed to have a label.  
It is designed so you may indicate what functions have been  
programmed on the various satellite repertory keys (see the  
Programming Your Extension” section.)  
This label is protected by a plastic cover.  
154  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
 
Your Extension’s Accessories  
To insert or remove the label, lift the protective cover as illustrated  
below.  
Note: If you need a new label, contact your system  
administrator.  
Installation and Cables for an Add-on  
Interface Module  
An add-on interface module would be located on the underside of  
your extension, in the rectangular opening on the underside of your  
extension, designed for this purpose.  
It is connected to your extension with a connector that features a  
rigid extender attached with three torx-type screws that require an  
adapted screwdriver.  
External ring devices (both audible and visual) are directly connected  
to the module using an RJ12 connector.  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
155  
 
Your Extension’s Accessories  
Connecting a Headset  
A headset is connected with a cord inserted into the RJ12 female  
connector labelled HEADSET located on the underside of your  
extension.  
This cord may be installed so that it comes out of either the left or  
right side of your extension, as illustrated below.  
When it is necessary to disconnect a headset cord, it is recom-  
mended that you use a screwdriver to depress the release tab on  
the RJ12 male connector.  
Validating a Headset Connection  
Once a headset is connected to your extension, you need to  
validate that it is indeed properly connected. To do so:  
í
+
*
L3  
+ 1  
z
Simultaneously press and hold the C, * and 1 keys on your  
extension’s keypad for 1 second.  
Your extension’s L3 line key should light. If this is not the case:  
Ô
Press the L3 line key on your extension.  
# z  
Next, press the # key.  
This will then validate that the headset is indeed properly connected.  
156  
MD Evolution – Dialog 4223 Professional  
   
Your Extension’s Accessories  
Operation in Headset Mode  
Once the headset connection has been validated, you may then,  
at your leisure, operate your extension either in headset or handset  
mode.  
To deactivate the headset mode:  
Í
Simply press the Headset key shown on the left.  
When the headset mode is activated, the LED associated with the  
Headset key will be on.  
When the headset mode is activated, your calls are processed  
similarly to calls in handsfree mode. Therefore, to hear the dial  
tone before placing an outgoing call on your extension:  
Lx  
Lx  
Ô
ÖÔ  
Press a free line key.  
Or, to answer a new incoming call presented on your extension:  
Press the flashing line key on which the call is presented.  
Or, to disconnect a call:  
í
Press the “C” key on your extension.  
A new call is presented on your idle extension in the standard manner  
through an audible, single, discreet signal emitted over the headset,  
rather than your extension’s usual ring, which is automatically de-  
activated.  
However, according to the programming for your facility, this signal  
heard in the headset may be accompanied by a repetitive signal  
also heard on your extension’s loudspeaker. This signal is repeated  
every 5 seconds until you answer the call that is presented to you  
on your idle extension.  
You will be notified of a new call presented on your extension with a  
single ring heard over your extension’s headset. This is also true for  
any call that is on hold.  
Note: The programming of your facility as described above  
is valid for all extensions using a headset.
