use when asking for you. Any nicknames you enter are added to the voice-dialing  
list used by Microsoft Response Point.  
You can click the other tabs to change additional phone settings. See the following  
sections for more details.  
Recording a User Name With Assistant  
The name you have been assigned by the System Administrator is the name callers  
hear when they ask the Automated Receptionist to speak to you. The recorded name  
can be changed by specifying a different name for the computer-generated speech, or  
recording a sound file of your own.  
The words that the Automated Receptionist uses to confirm a caller's request are not  
always the same as the user name or directory entry. For example, a caller may  
request to speak to "Ms. Margheim." However, you may want the Automated  
Receptionist to say "Diane Margheim" in confirmation, and the user name may be  
"Dr. Margheim".

user name through the Administrator software.

Note: If you select Use computer-generated speech, Microsoft Response Point  
automatically uses Microsoft Anna to record your sound files. If this text-to-speech  
program is not available, Microsoft Response Point chooses another Microsoft TTS  
program that comes with your operating system, regardless of which TTS program  
you've manually specified in Windows.

Retrieving Voicemail  
To access your voicemail when in the office, do the following.  
1. Press the Response Point button , and say "Voicemail."  
Note: Microsoft Response Point assumes that you want to check voicemail for the  
primary extension number of the phone that you're using. If you want to check  
voicemail for another extension number, press the star key (*), and then enter the  
extension number using the keypad. Before picking up the receiver use the RIGHT  
and LEFT arrow keys to change lines on multiple line phones.  
2. When prompted, enter the password for this voicemail box using the keypad.  
Note: This password is the same for logging on to Assistant. If you haven't changed  
it, the default password is 9999.  
3. Listen to the instructions, and select the number of the option that you want.  
Note: Voice messages that you retrieve by phone are stored on the base unit for up  
to 30 days from the time a caller leaves you a voice message—not from the time  
you save a voice message. Voicemail files older than 15 days may be deleted if the  
base unit does not have enough free space. If you would like to guarantee that  
Microsoft Response Point will not delete a voice message after 15 days, you should  
choose to receive voice messages as e-mail attachments.

3. When prompted, enter the extension number for which you want to check  
voicemail using the keypad.  
4. When prompted, enter the password for this voicemail box using the keypad.  
Note: This password is the same for logging on to Assistant. If you haven't changed

you save a voice message. Voicemail files older than 15 days may be deleted if the  
base unit does not have enough free space. If you would like to guarantee that  
Microsoft Response Point will not delete a voice message after 15 days, you should  
choose to receive voice messages as e-mail attachments. Voice messages sent as e-  
mail attachments are not stored on the base unit, and therefore they are not deleted  
by the base unit.

Call Park  
Parking a call is like holding a call, except that it can be picked up on any phone in  
your office. Response Point supports nine parking spaces for calls.  
Note: If you place a call internally to another employee and that employee parks the  
call, and then you put the call on hold, the connection will be terminated when the  
employee you called retrieves the call.  
To park and retrieve a call using voice dialing, do the following.  
1. Press the Response Point button  
to park the call. The Automated  
Receptionist tells you the space number in which the call is parked.  
2. From a phone, press the Response Point button  
and say "Retrieve," and  
then say the call number. For example, say "Retrieve call 1."  
Note: If you're retrieving a call from the same phone where you parked it and only  
one call is parked, you can simply say "Retrieve my call."  
Contacts List in Assistant  
Importing Contacts  
You can import a maximum of 1100 contacts (including contacts already in Assistant)  
from a contact store, such as Outlook, Windows Address Book (for Windows XP), or  
Windows Contacts (for Windows Vista). It's a best practice to import only those  
contacts that you use regularly. Importing unnecessary contacts consumes  
memory—which may affect how well the Automated Receptionist interprets the  
speech of callers.  
Microsoft Response Point prevents you from importing contacts if the storage space  
on the base unit has reached full capacity. In this case, contact System Administrator  
for assistance.

Making Calls from the Cordless Handset  
Pre-dialing a Number  
Press the v key to obtain dial tone and use the Keypad to dial the number. You can  
also make a call by pre-dialling a number. Pre-dialling lets you view a number before  
you dial. If the number is correct, press the v key to dial the number. If the number  
is incorrect, use the  key or press down on the volume key to erase digits from right  
to left. Calls can also be made directly from the Directory.  
Using a Headset  
The 6757i CT RP cordless handset accepts headsets through the 2.5 mm audio jack  
on the bottom of the phone. Contact your telephone equipment retailer or distributor  
to purchase a compatible headset. Customers should read and observe all safety  
recommendations contained in headset operating guides when using any headset.  
Receiving Calls  
When a call is ringing at your extension, you see the Inbound Call screen. Press the  
v
key to answer an incoming call, or lift the handset out of the charging cradle.  
Call Privacy  
In the 6757i CT RP multi-handset system, it is possible to connect several cordless  
handsets together with each other or with the base as extensions to a call. This is just  
like an analog system with extension phones going off hook to join a call in progress.  
However, because this system is actually intended for use in an enterprise  
environment, some method of call privacy is required.  
All calls, base or handset, begin in the "private" mode. In this mode, no extensions  
are allowed to join that handset or base call. There is a user interface provided to  
toggle between the "private" and "public" modes.  
"Public" Feature Key  
A feature key allows the user in a multiple handset environment to press to toggle  
between the "private" and "public" modes for a call. Pressing the Public feature key in  
the feature list anytime during a call puts the call into the public call mode. When the  
call is in public call mode, the triangle indicator lights in front of the Public label in  
the feature list. This also causes that feature key to appear on an available soft key but  
with a different label – Private. The user can then press the Private soft key to toggle  
the call back to private or he can navigate into the feature list and press the Public  
feature key.  
Either way, the triangle indicator clears and the call is back in private mode. The  
figures of this section demonstrate the UI.

Note: Any local caller on the call can convert the call. For instance, if one cordless  
caller is on an external call, he can press the "Public" feature key to make the call  
public. At that point up to three other handsets can join in on the call. If any of those  
joining handsets presses the "Private" soft key, then the call is made private for all  
connected handsets, and no other users can join the call unless the call is made public  
again.  
Ending Calls  
To end a call, you first need to connect to the call, if not already connected, and press  
the N  
key. You can also place the handset back on the charging cradle to end the  
call.

the handset list on the base and synchronize the handset list from the base to the  
newly paired handset. A total of 4 handsets can be paired to a single 6757i CT RP  
base.  
Note: When performing the handset pairing, it is recommended that the handset be  
within 3 feet of the 6757i CT RP base.  
In order to pair your handset to a base station, do the following.

Defining an Emergency Dial Plan  
Public telephone networks in countries around the world have a single emergency  
telephone number (emergency services number) that allows a caller to contact local  
emergency services for assistance when required. The emergency telephone number  
may differ from country to country. It is typically a three-digit number so that it can  
be easily remembered and dialed quickly. Some countries have a different emergency  
number for each of the different emergency services.  
You can specify the digits to dial on the IP phone to contact emergency services. Once  
you specify the emergency number(s) on the phone, you can dial those numbers  
directly on the dial pad and the phone automatically dials those emergency services.  
Note: Contact your local phone service provider for available emergency numbers in  
your area.  
The following table describes the default emergency numbers on the IP phones.  
Emergency  
Number  
Description  
911  
999  
112  
A United States emergency number  
A United Kingdom emergency number  
An international emergency telephone number for GSM mobile  
phone networks.  
In all European Union countries it is also the emergency telephone  
number for both mobile and fixed-line telephones.  
110  
A police and/or fire emergency number in Asia, Europe, Middle  
East, and South America.  
You can set the emergency dial plan using the Aastra Web UI.  
To specify the numbers to use on your phone for dialing emergency services in your  
area, do the following.  
1. From within the Assistant program select Settings > Phone Settings, and logon to  
the Aastra Web UI.  
2. Click Phone Lock. The Phone Lock window opens.  
3. In the Emergency Dial Plan field, enter the 3-digit number used in your local area  
to contact emergency services. For multiple numbers, enter a “|” between each  
emergency number. For example:  
911|110  
Default for this field is 911|999|112|110.  
4. Click  
to save the emergency dial plan to your phone.

Troubleshooting  
What if my phone is not listed on the LAN?  
If your System Administrator doesn’t see the phone that you have connected to the  
LAN and to a power source, there may be one or more of the following issues:  
• The device is not securely plugged into a power source (or the electrical outlet is  
faulty).  
• The device is not securely attached to the LAN port.  
• The base unit has not detected the presence of the device yet.  
Contact your System Administrator for assistance.  
Why is my handset not working?  
Check to ensure that the handset cord is fully connected to both the phone and  
handset. See the Aastra Phone Model Installation Guide for detailed information.  
Why is my speakerphone not working?  
If the speaker light goes out, the phone is set up to be used only with a handset. If the  
light stays on steady and you hear dial tone, you can alternate between the  
speakerphone and the handset by pressing  
.
Speaker  
Why is my display blank?  
Ensure that power is being provided to your phone. If your Network does not provide  
Inline power over Ethernet, you can obtain an additional accessory, the a PoE inline  
power injector, to provide power over Ethernet locally to your phone. See the  
Aastra Phone Model Installation Guide for detailed information.  
Why can I only see 1 option when the installer or user guide says there are  
more?  
The telephone screen only shows 1option at a time. To see more, press the down  
arrow button  
.
Why does the telephone wobble?  
Make sure the cords are routed properly through the back of the phone. Check that the  
leg stands have been properly snapped into place. Since the legs can be oriented in  
two different ways and in two different positions to offer four different phone viewing  
angles, check that both legs are oriented in the same direction and in the same  
position on either side of the phone.  
Why isn’t Assistant Working?  
If you choose to use a third-party firewall instead of the default Windows Firewall,  
Microsoft Response Point Assistant will not be able communicate with the base unit.  
A firewall blocks requests or communication attempts from any unspecified  
programs. To avoid this problem, create a firewall exception in your firewall program  
for Assistant. A firewall exception allows selected programs to connect with your  
computer.

Why are some of the options in Assistant unavailable?  
Unavailable options are set using Administrator. To make changes to these options,  
contact the phone System Administrator.  
Why can’t I use the lines I set through the Web UI?  
If you are using softkeys (model 6757i CT RP) or programmable keys (model 6753i  
RP) as line keys, the line keys must be assigned by the system administrator, and then  
configured using the Web UI, and the phone must be restarted. The line keys only  
take effect after all of these steps are complete. See Configuring Multiple Lines  
Check that the line number assigned by the system administrator is the same as the  
line number configured on the Web UI, and that the phone has been restarted.  
Why did I lose my call when I put it on hold?  
You can put your calls on hold, if your phone supports that feature, or park it, using  
the Response Point button  
. Calls put on hold for an extended time are  
automatically terminated. If you think you will be away from the phone for a long  
time, park the call instead. (Response Point supports nine parking spaces for calls.)  
Why aren't my voice messages showing up in my e-mail inbox as voicemail  
attachments?  
If you are not receiving any e-mail messages or the e-mail messages do not have a  
voicemail attachment, the problem may be caused by one of the following:  
Your voicemail settings are not configured properly or your e-mail address was  
entered incorrectly. Verify that the Receive messages as attachments to e-mail  
checkbox is selected and your e-mail address is correct on the Voicemail tab.  
Your e-mail server or e-mail reader applications spam or virus checker filtered  
the message. Look for the message in the Junk E-Mail or Deleted Items folder.  
Add the sending e-mail address to the list of approved senders so that messages  
from the base unit do not get filtered as junk e-mail in the future.  
• If you received the e-mail message but there is no WAV file attachment, your e-  
mail server or e-mail program may have removed the attachment as part of virus  
filtering. (You can probably adjust the filters so that it will allow WAV file  
attachments, or add the sending e-mail address to the list of approved senders to  
prevent the e-mail application from removing attachments.)  
• There may be a problem with the e-mail server configuration in the phone system.  
If you have verified that your configuration is correct and the messages are not  
being filtered as spam, report the problem to your phone System Administrator.  
Why don't I see notifications for all my incoming calls?  
Because Assistant support phones that have multiple extension numbers, it is possible  
to see more than one notification window at a time if multiple calls come in for these  
extension numbers simultaneously. Assistant displays a maximum of four notification  
windows. No notification window will appear if a fifth call comes in.

Why doesn't the Response Point confirmation prompt fill in the name of the  
person I asked to voice dial?  
If you use voice dialing to say (for example), "Call Denise Smith at work," the  
confirmation prompt should say, "Dialing Denise Smith at work." However, if the  
text-to-speech feature in Windows XP is not working, you may hear "Dialing  
(silence) at work" instead. Refer to the Windows documentation for more information  
about the speech recognition and text-to-speech feature.  
Where did my contacts go?  
If storage space on the base unit is nearing capacity, Response Point deletes files,  
including contact files. See your phone System Administrator for assistance.  
I set up a contact to bypass the receptionist but it's not working. What's  
wrong?  
The Bypass Receptionist feature relies on caller ID from incoming calls in order to  
function correctly. The following conditions may cause the Bypass Receptionist  
feature to not work:  
Your business does not receive caller ID information from the phone company.  
• The person calling you has his or her caller ID blocked.  
• The phone number entered for the contact does not match the phone number  
received from the phone company when the contact calls you. For example, the  
phone number for the contact may not have the area code.  
• The phone number entered for the contact may conflict with someone elses bypass  
entry for the same number.  
• The phone System Administrator may have disabled the Bypass Receptionist  
feature for the phone system.  
Why can't I record my voice prompts using the text-to-speech (TTS) pro-  
gram that I've chosen in Windows?  
Response Point automatically uses Microsoft Anna to record your sound files. If this  
text-to-speech program is not available, Response Point chooses another Microsoft  
TTS program that comes with your operating system regardless of which TTS  
program you've manually specified in Windows.  
What should I do if I'm having trouble voice dialing a contact?  
If you've repeatedly tried to voice dial a particular personal contact, and each time the  
Automated Receptionist says "invalid location," use Assistant to remove the contact  
from the phone system, re-add the contact, and then try placing your call again.  
Why don't the changes that I just made to my contact using Assistant  
appear in the incoming call notification window?  
This condition may occur if the information exchanged between Assistant and your  
contact store (that is, Outlook, Windows Address Book, or Windows Contacts) are  
temporarily out of sync. To resolve this issue, simply exit Assistant and restart the  
program.
