WELCOME  
Your new Model 8690 is a network endpoint (telephone or other communication  
device) that provides communications services to your desktop. The Model 8690 sup-  
ports two different modes of network protocols, and can operate in either Inter-Tel  
Protocol (ITP) mode or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) mode. The operating mode  
determines which features and options are enabled on the endpoint. This guide is for  
endpoints operating in ITP mode. If your endpoint is configured to operate in SIP  
mode, request a copy of the Model 8690 User Guide: Session Initiation Protocol  
(SIP) Mode (part number 550.8025) from your system administrator.  
ABOUT THIS GUIDE  
This guide contains instructions for using the Model 8690 in ITP mode on an Inter-  
®
Tel telephone system. To help you find information quickly, this guide is divided  
into five separate sections, as indicated by the tabs.  
These sections include the following:  
Finding Your Way: This section provides you with a photo of the Model 8690  
and includes general information designed to help you find what you need.  
Getting Started: This section includes basic telephone and voice mail informa-  
tion, and provides instructions on how to perform everyday tasks, such as  
answering calls, making calls, and using voice mail.  
Moving On: In this section you’ll learn how to use advanced endpoint and voice  
mail features.  
Using UC: This section includes information on how to use the advanced com-  
Learning More: This section outlines how your administrators can help if you  
experience a problem with your endpoint. It also provides you with a list of Fre-  
quently Asked Questions (FAQs) so you can troubleshoot problems and learn  
more about the system.  
In addition, this guide contains a list of default feature codes (see page 114), an index  
(see page 117), and a voice mail flowchart (see page 123) for easy reference.  
For administration-level information not covered in this guide, see the Model 8690  
Administrators Guide (part no. 550.8120).  
NOTE: Because the telephone system is very flexible and programmable, the proce-  
dures for using the features might vary slightly from the descriptions in this guide. If so,  
your trainer or system administrator can tell you how your system differs and how to  
use the features.

ABOUT YOUR ENDPOINT  
Your Model 8690 is a desktop endpoint that uses the technology available with a Per-  
sonal Data Assistant (PDA). The operating system on the endpoint is a customized  
®
®
version of Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.2. The Model 8690 has a Liquid Crystal  
Display (LCD) touch screen that displays an interface with traditional telephone ele-  
ments that include a display, dialpad, feature buttons, and menu buttons. A stylus pen  
provides access to elements on the interface.  
Your endpoint has a port on the back (see page 4) for connecting to your company’s  
Local Area Network (LAN). This connection provides access to the UC server and  
the advanced communication features that UC provides. For more information about  
using UC on your endpoint, see page 81.  
Additional endpoint features include:  
Handset and Headset Jacks: Allow you to connect a handset and headset at the  
same time.

Optional USB Devices  
You can connect a standard USB keyboard to your Model 8690 endpoint using the  
USB client port on the back of the endpoint (see page 4). The operating system will  
automatically detect the device when the endpoint is powered on. You can configure  
the keyboard properties under Start - Settings - Control Panel - Keyboard.  
Instead of connecting an external keyboard, you can use the USB client port to con-  
nect a mouse. If you would like to connect both a mouse and a keyboard to the end-  
point, connect the mouse to the keyboard, and then connect the keyboard to the USB  
client port on the endpoint. The operating system recognizes all daisy-chained USB  
devices. You can configure mouse properties under Start - Settings - Control Panel -  
Mouse.  
Message Indicator Lamp  
The Message Indicator lamp (located at the top, right corner of the endpoint) flashes  
whenever there is one or more waiting messages. In addition, the display indicates the  
number of messages you have waiting. See page 21 for instructions on retrieving mes-  
sages.  
NOTE: The lamp indicates new messages by default, but can also be programmed for  
other functions.  
If desired, you can program the endpoint so that the message lamp does not flash,  
even when new messages are waiting. For details, see page see page 32.  
Reset Button  
The Reset Button on the back of the endpoint immediately shuts down the operating  
system and any applications that are currently running on the endpoint. When the  
Reset Button is pushed, the screen goes blank, and the default settings are restored.  
After a few moments the operating system restarts and the client application re-opens  
when network connectivity is re-established.  
CAUTION  
Do not press the Reset button on your endpoint unless you are told to do so  
by your system or network administrator. Desktop shortcuts and any prefer-  
ences that have not been saved in the registry are lost when you press the Reset  
button. In addition, the endpoint will require additional programming to restore it  
to its previous operational state.

Power Requirements  
The Model 8690 should remain powered on at all times. The endpoint receives power  
from an individual power supply unit. It is important to use a power supply unit that is  
compatible with the endpoint. The Inter-Tel Universal Power Supply (part number  
806.1119) is compatible with the Model 8690 and is available through Inter-Tel’s  
®
CommSource division.  
It is recommended that you plug your endpoint’s power supply unit into an Uninter-  
ruptible Power Supply (UPS). If your endpoint’s power supply unit is not plugged  
into a UPS and the power fails, the current call will be dropped.  
NOTE: Contact your network administrator to order a new power supply unit for your  
endpoint.  
Your system may be configured to use a centralized power source (power over Ether-  
net) as a backup power source. Your network administrator will explain how to con-  
nect your endpoint to the centralized power source. If your power supply unit fails  
and your system is running power over Ethernet, you will be able to use the audio  
portion only of the endpoint. Power over Ethernet does not support the display portion  
of the endpoint.  
Software Compatibility  
Your Model 8690 is compatible with the following software:  
Axxess system software V8.1 and later  
Unified Communicator V2.1 and later  
CT Gateway V4.1 and later

Unified Communicator Elements  
Unified Communicator (UC) is a productivity tool designed to help you manage your  
communication effectively. UC allows you to interact with the software through per-  
sonal computers, desktop phones, cell phones, handheld organizers, and speech. With  
multiple interfaces, you can access features and functionality, no matter where you  
are.  
The UC elements on the telephone interface consist of the system tray icon in the sys-  
tem tray and the navigation buttons on the telephone interface. Information about  
these elements appears below. For instructions on how to use UC features and options  
on your endpoint, see page 81.  
System Tray Icon  
When the client application is running, the system tray icon appears in the Windows  
®
system tray. The system tray is located in the lower-right portion of the taskbar near  
the clock. If you press the icon, the system tray menu is displayed. For menu options  
and instructions, see page 30.  
The system tray icon represents the current UC status as one of the following:  
You are not currently logged on to UC.  
You are currently logged on to UC and your status is available.  
You are currently logged on to UC and your status is unavailable.  
Navigation Buttons  
The navigation buttons on the interface provide access to UC views. Pressing a navi-  
gation button highlights the button and displays the associated view. Pressing the but-  
ton again closes the view. At any time, you can press the Display or Dialpad  
navigation buttons to return to the display or dialpad.  
Unified Communicator: Provides access to advanced UC features (see page 84).  
Messages: Displays a list of various messages (see page 91).  
Call List: Displays a list of your current calls (see page 91).  
Call Log: Allows you to view a history of your recent calls (see page 95).

ABOUT THE OPERATING SYSTEM  
The operating system on the Model 8690 is a customized version of Microsoft Win-  
dows CE .NET V4.2. When you first power up your endpoint, the screen remains  
blank for approximately 10 seconds. After this period, the Windows CE .NET desktop  
appears, followed by the Loading Application Appearance dialog box. This dialog  
box signals that the telephone application is launching. Once it has launched, the tele-  
phone interface (see page 7) covers the entire desktop except the taskbar.  
To minimize the telephone interface and access the desktop area of the screen, press  
the telephone icon or the Show Desktop icon located on the taskbar, as shown below.  
When you minimize the interface, you have access to the desktop. To restore the  
interface, press either icon again.  
Taskbar  
Show Desktop Icon  
Telephone Application Icon  
The version of Windows CE .NET running on the Model 8690 has been customized  
specifically for the endpoint. This version is different from Windows PC operating  
systems and Windows handheld/mobile device operating systems. When using Win-  
dows CE .NET, you may notice the following differences:  
The Windows Viewer applications that are included in the operating system do  
not have the full functionality that their counterparts do on Windows PC operat-  
ing systems. These applications include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Media Player,  
and Internet Explorer.  
A range of applications, tools, and functionality normally included in PC operat-  
ing systems, such as Microsoft Outlook , administrator tools, fonts, etc., are not  
®
included with Windows CE .NET.  
Some applications will not work with Windows CE .NET. Before running an  
application, make sure it is compatible with Windows CE .NET.  
Because Windows CE .NET has limited RAM available for executing programs,  
you may experience much slower processing times than you are accustomed to  
on your desktop PC.

Input Panel  
The operating system includes an on-screen keyboard function called the Input Panel.  
When a feature requires you to enter characters, the Input Panel pops to the front of  
the screen. To access the Input Panel, press the Input Panel icon ( ) located in the  
far-right corner of the taskbar. Then select LargeKB (large keyboard). You can relo-  
cate the Input Panel by pressing the title bar with the stylus and dragging it to another  
area of the screen. To hide the Input Panel, press the Input Panel icon and then press  
Hide Input Panel.  
If you connect an external keyboard to your endpoint (see page 5), it is recommended  
that you disable the Input Panel.  
To disable the Input Panel:  
1. Press Start - Settings - Control Panel.  
2. Double-press Input Panel.  
3. Disable the Allow applications to change the input panel state option.  
4. Press OK.  
5. Save the registry (see page 14).  
System Memory and Storage  
The Model 8690 ships with 128 MB of RAM and 64 MB of flash RAM. The tele-  
phone application is pre-loaded on the device, and you have approximately 5 MB of  
RAM available for use.  
CAUTION  
The Model 8690 does not have a built-in hard drive. Storage memory will not  
survive a reset or an upgrade to the operating system unless the files are  
stored in the Mounted Volume folder on the endpoint (My Com-  
puter\Mounted Volume) or on a host that is accessible from the Model 8690.  
Desktop shortcuts and any preferences that have not been saved in the registry  
(including UC preferences) will be lost if you upgrade the operating system or if  
the endpoint resets.  
You can view the available amount of system memory using the System Properties  
dialog box. System memory is divided into Storage Memory (see caution above) and  
Program Memory. Program Memory is used for executing programs.  
To view system memory:  
1. Press Start - Settings - Control Panel.  
2. Double-press System.  
3. Select the Memory tab.  
NOTE: While using the Memory tab, you can re-assign the system memory. Check  
with your network administrator before adjusting this.

System Registry  
The information stored in the Windows CE .NET registry is not accessible. The regis-  
try contains a number of settings and preferences that are saved in two separate loca-  
tions for backup purposes.  
To safeguard registry settings, it is recommended that you save the registry after you  
make changes to operating system preferences using the Control Panel, and to UC  
preferences using the system tray menu. If the endpoint loses power during a registry  
update, the registry will be destroyed. However, the last saved version of the registry  
can be recovered upon reboot.  
Saving the registry takes approximately 60 seconds to complete. To avoid locking up  
the endpoint, do not make additional changes to your preferences until the “Registry  
Saved Successfully” dialog box is displayed.  
NOTE: Normally, the endpoint should remain powered on at all times. If your system or  
network administrator tells you to power off your endpoint, it is recommended that you  
save the registry first.  
To save registry settings:  
1. Press Start - Programs - Save Registry.  
2. Press Yes to save registry settings.  
When the “Registry Saved Successfully” message appears, press OK.  
Operating System Help  
A help file is provided with the Windows CE .NET operating system and can be  
accessed under the Start menu. The information in this file is provided by Microsoft  
and is limited to Windows CE .NET and the viewer applications that come with the  
operating system. Because the operating system has been customized, some of the  
information provided in this file may not apply to your endpoint. See page 37 for  
more information about accessing the help files created specifically for the telephone  
and UC.

ABOUT VOICE MAIL  
Voice mail is an application that is part of the Inter-Tel Voice Processor. With the  
voice mail application, you and other callers can send and receive recorded messages  
from any digital endpoint, multi-protocol endpoint, or other device on the telephone  
system. To use voice mail, each user is assigned a voice mailbox, which usually corre-  
sponds to a valid extension number. You can, however, have an “unassociated” mail-  
box that does not correspond to an extension. Unassociated mailboxes are typically  
used for agents or other personnel who don’t have a permanent office.  
With your voice mailbox, you can use personal or system greetings to let callers know  
if you are out of town, on a call, etc. (see page 51). If a caller reaches your voice mail-  
box, they can leave a message, hang up, or access the attendant.  
In addition, the voice mail administrator can program the name for “group lists” of  
mailboxes. With these lists, you can send a message to a group of people by entering  
one number instead of everyone’s individual mailbox number.  
NOTE: You cannot cancel unheard (unretrieved) messages that are sent using group  
lists (see page 55).

WHAT YOU SEE AND HEAR  
Your Model 8690 and the telephone system come equipped with many features. To  
help you understand what everything means, it is recommended that you read the fol-  
lowing information before you use your endpoint:  
The endpoint has a 640x480 pixel LCD touch screen. To access the elements on  
the screen, use the stylus that is shipped with the endpoint. When you are  
instructed to “press” an area on the screen, gently tap the appropriate area of the  
touch screen with the stylus.  
To “right-click” an element on the screen, press and hold the stylus on an icon. A  
ring of black dots appears indicating a right mouse click, and the “right-click”  
menu appears.  
If the endpoint remains idle for more than four hours, the backlight on the screen  
will time out and the screen will go dark (see page 29 to change the default back-  
light timeout). To “wake” the screen, either lift the handset or touch the screen.  
The display automatically “wakes” when you make or receive a call.  
To enter letters and numbers when using basic endpoint features, use the dialpad  
on the interface. To switch to alphanumeric mode from numeric mode, press  
Message. If the Message Indicator lamp is lit, you are in alphanumeric mode,  
which allows you to enter letters. If the Message Indicator lamp is unlit, you are  
in numeric mode and can only enter numbers and special characters. When enter-  
ing letters and numbers, to backspace press Mute to backspace. To insert a for-  
ward space, press Fwd.  
The telephone application’s audio feature has priority over the operating system’s  
audio feature. For example, if you are running Windows Media Player to play  
music and your endpoint receives a call, the audio for Media Player is cut off,  
and audio output switches to the call. When the call ends, audio is switched back  
to Media Player. You can configure audio properties under Start - Settings - Con-  
trol Panel - Volume & Sounds.  
If you hear four fast tones or repeating fast tones, you have pressed an invalid  
button combination, tried to select a restricted line, dialed a restricted or invalid  
number, dialed too slowly between digits, or waited too long before performing  
the next step. Hang up and try again.  
Your telephone system may be programmed for one or two dial tones. Systems  
with two dial tones have one for intercom calls and one for outside calls.  
Many features “time out” if you wait too long before performing the next step. If  
this happens, you must hang up and start over.  
Off-hook” means that the handset is lifted and “on-hook” indicates that the hand-  
set is in the cradle. For example, you must first go “off-hook” to make a call, but  
you must go “on-hook” to end a call.

GUIDELINES FOR USING THE MODEL 8690 ENDPOINT  
It is recommended that you read the following guidelines before using your Model  
8690 endpoint:  
Consult your system administrator and your local Inter-Tel servicing company for  
important information about dialing emergency services from your Model 8690  
before you begin using it.  
There can only be one memory card (PCMCIA or CF) inserted when you power  
on the endpoint. If you use both types of memory cards, remove one card before  
powering up the endpoint.  
Generally the endpoint should remain powered on at all times. Do not power  
down the endpoint unless you are instructed to do so by your network administra-  
tor. If you are instructed to power down your endpoint, save the registry first (see  
page 14). If you do not save the registry, your preferences will be lost when you  
power down the endpoint.  
Consult your network administrator before setting options in the Advanced sub-  
menu (see page 35). Although you can access these options from the system tray  
menu, you should not use them unless your network administrator has supplied  
you with all of the network settings and additional information that are required.  
Periodically, the endpoint checks for software upgrades. When an upgrade is  
available, the Software Upgrade dialog box opens, and you are prompted to  
install the upgrade. You must take certain precautions to safeguard data and  
preferences before performing an upgrade to the operating system. See  
page 38 for important information about installing software upgrades.  
To avoid a flash memory conflict, do not make or receive calls while upgrading  
the operating system. See page 38 for important information about installing soft-  
ware upgrades.  
Because the Model 8690 does not contain a battery, any data and/or files in stor-  
age memory that are not saved in the Mounted Volume folder will be lost when  
the device looses power.  
Because the Model 8690 has a limited storage capacity, it is recommended that  
you save applications and data on a host, such as a desktop PC or a memory card  
(see page 4) that is accessible from the endpoint. For example, using a 128 MB  
Compact Flash memory card significantly increases the available storage on the  
Model 8690. Any data or files saved on the memory card will be saved even if  
the endpoint loses power or resets.  
Before you begin using UC on your endpoint, note that some options must be  
changed or implemented from the UC Web Client on your PC (see page 83). You  
cannot access the UC Web Client URL from your endpoint’s browser.  
For additional information about Windows CE .NET, go to  
www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/ce.net/default.asp.

ENDPOINT BASICS  
Before you begin using your endpoint, take a moment to learn how to complete basic  
tasks such as adjusting the angle of the endpoint, using the speaker and the micro-  
phone, and using a headset.  
Adjusting Your Endpoint’s Viewing Angle  
Your Model 8690 has an adjustable base that allows you to tilt your endpoint to  
enhance the viewing angle.  
To adjust the viewing angle of the endpoint:  
1. Position the bottom of the endpoint’s base on a flat surface.  
2. Tilt the endpoint to the desired angle.  
3. Place the “feet” of the support mechanism in the holes on the base to secure the  
position of the endpoint.  
Displaying Information on Your Endpoint  
Your Model 8690 has two lines of display that contain system and call information,  
such as the date and time or the outside party’s name/number.  
Date, Time, Name, and Extension Number  
You can temporarily display the system date and time, your username, and your  
extension number at any time.  
To show the date and time display (while on a call, in DND, etc.):  
3
0
0
Press  
and dial  
.
Outside Party’s Name/Number  
If you are currently connected to an outside caller with Caller ID, you can toggle  
between displaying the caller’s name and number.  
To show the outside party’s name:  
3

Using the Speakers and Microphone  
If you are not using a headset, you can talk handsfree using your speakers and micro-  
phone. The microphone has a mute feature, which, when enabled, allows you to hear  
the other party but they cannot hear you. (This does not put the party on hold.) You  
can also use the speakerphone for on-hook dialing, call monitoring, and background  
music.  
Mute Button  
To mute the microphone:  
Press Mute or the MUTE menu button.  
To turn the mute feature off:  
Press Mute or the UNMUTE menu button.  
NOTE: The Mute button is also used to backspace when you are using the dialpad to  
input letters or numbers.  
Group Listen Using the Speaker  
With the Group Listen feature, you can transmit a conversation over the speaker while  
you use the handset or headset to continue speaking. This allows other people to hear  
the caller while the caller can only hear you.  
NOTE: You cannot use this feature on a handsfree call. You must be on a call using  
the handset or a headset before entering the feature code.  
To turn the group listen feature on or off during a call:  
3
1
2
Press  
and dial  
. You hear a confirmation tone and the display  
shows GROUP LISTEN ON or GROUP LISTEN OFF. (The other party will not hear  
the confirmation tone.)

Using the Message Button  
In today’s busy world, it’s almost guaranteed that you will call someone that is on  
another call, does not answer, or is in DND. But, with the Message button, you can  
let the other person know you called.  
When you leave a message, you can:  
Have the called party return your call. When the party you called responds to  
the message indication, a call is automatically placed to your endpoint.  
Leave a message with the called party’s message center, (which can be a per-  
son or voice mail). When the party you called responds to the message, a call is  
automatically placed to his or her message center instead of your endpoint.  
To indicate that a message is waiting, the Message button and the Message Indicator  
lamp flash, and the display shows the number of waiting messages.  
Leaving Messages  
To leave a station message while on an intercom call: Press Message or the LEAVE  
MESSAGE menu button and hang up.  
To leave a voice mail message while on an intercom call: Press Message or the  
LEAVE MESSAGE menu button and wait for the message center to answer.  
To leave a silent message without placing an intercom call:  
1. Press Message and then press the LEAVE MESSAGE menu button.  
2. Dial the desired extension number and hang up.  
To cancel a message that you left at another endpoint:  
1. Press Message and then the CANCEL MESSAGE menu button.  
2. Dial the extension number of the endpoint where you left the message.

INTRODUCTION  
Now that you know what your Model 8690 can do, it’s time to start using it. In this  
section, you’ll learn how to set system tray menu options, install software upgrades,  
and use basic endpoint and voice mail features. Most of the features in this section do  
not require the endpoint to be logged on to UC. For instructions on how to use UC  
advanced features on your endpoint, see page 81.  
For additional information about client application and operating system options and  
settings, see the Model 8690 Administrators Guide.  
CALIBRATING THE SCREEN

display interprets the stylus presses accurately. These settings are stored in the Win-  
dows CE .NET registry and may need to be configured again if the registry is lost or  
reset.  
To test and calibrate the screen:  
1. Press Start - Settings - Control Panel.  
2. Double-press Stylus.  
3. Test your settings using the icons on the Double-Tap tab.  
4. If the screen does not respond to your presses properly, press the Calibration tab.  
5. Press Recalibrate.  
6. Press and hold the stylus on the center of the target in every position on the  
screen.  
7. Tap the screen to save the settings in the registry.  
8. Press OK.

SETTING BACKLIGHT OPTIONS  
To save power and extend the life of the display, you can set an option that will auto-  
matically shut off the display’s backlight. When the endpoint remains inactive for the  
specified amount of time, the display automatically goes into “sleep” mode and the  
screen goes dark. To “wake” the screen, either lift the handset or touch the screen. An  
incoming call or input from an external mouse or keyboard will also “wake” the  
screen.  
The default backlight timeout is four hours. You can select a different backlight time-  
out as explained below.  
NOTE: UC Message alerts (see page 106) and status alerts (see page 107) do not  
“wake” the screen, however software upgrade prompts (see page 38) do.  
To change the default value for the backlight timeout:  
1. Press Start - Settings - Control Panel.  
2. Double-press Display.  
3. Select the Backlight tab.  
4. Select the Automatically turn off backlight while on external power option.  
5. Select the amount of time you want the endpoint to remain idle before the back-  
light turns off. Timeout choices include:  
1 minute  
2 minutes  
5 minutes  
10 minutes  
15 minutes  
30 minutes  
1 hour  
4 hours  
6. Press OK.

CONFIGURING VLAN PORTS  
To improve voice quality and security, your network administrator may place your  
endpoint in a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN).  
A VLAN is a network of computers that behave as if they are connected to the same  
wire, even though they may be physically located on different segments of a LAN.  
VLANs minimize congestion on the network because they allow voice and data to be  
routed more efficiently. If your endpoint resides on a VLAN, your network adminis-  
trator may instruct you to program the VLAN ID for the ports.  
NOTE: Do not configure the VLAN ID for your endpoint unless instructed to do so by  
your network administrator.  
To configure VLAN IDs for the ports:  
1. Press Start - Settings - Control Panel.  
2. Double-press Network and Dial-up Connections.  
3. Double-press AUMAC1. The 'AU1x00 Ethernet Controller' Settings dialog box  
opens as shown above.  
4. Select the VLAN tab.  
5. Select the VLAN ID number (supplied by your network administrator) for the  
Phone Port and the Downlink Ports using the associated scroll buttons.  
6. Press OK.  
7. Save the registry (see page 14).

Advanced Tab  
To set or edit options on the Advanced tab:  
1. Enable or disable the Auto Dial option. If you enable this option, you must pro-  
vide a telephone number. When Auto Dial is enabled, the @ symbol is high-  
lighted. Pressing the @ symbol quickly enables/disables the Auto Dial option.  
When Auto Dial is enabled, picking up the handset dials the number you chose  
for the Auto Dial option.  
NOTE: Typically, you would enter the extension of the Unified Communicator  
telephone client (or an attendant) in this field. When the endpoint auto dials the UC  
telephone client, you can use the UC Voice User Interface (VUI) to issue voice  
commands such as, “Call Bob Smith” to make calls. Check with your network  
administrator to obtain your system’s telephone client number. You must enable  
the auto-logon option (using the Web Client - My Account link - Advanced tab  
options) to use the Auto Dial option to dial the Unified Communicator telephone cli-  
ent.  
2. Enter the number for the Backup Number option.  
NOTE: This field allows you to specify a backup telephone number that the end-  
point will automatically dial when you go off hook if the Windows CE .NET sub-  
system is down. Typically, you would enter a telephone number (such as the  
attendant’s) in this field. If “0” is not the number you use to reach an attendant or  
operator, then provide the number here. Check with your network administrator to  
obtain your system’s backup number.  
3. Enter the maximum amount of disk space in KB that you want to allocate for  
endpoint diagnostic files on the Windows CE .NET subsystem. By default, this is  
200 KB, but is limited by the amount of available RAM on the endpoint.  
NOTE: Check with your network administrator before changing this field. If this  
field value is set too high, the endpoint may run out of available memory.

4. Enable or disable the following options:  
Log to file: Diagnostics are logged to a file stored in the My Computer  
folder on the endpoint. This option is ON by default.  
NOTE: This file is stored in an area of the file system that will be lost if you  
reset the endpoint. If you are asked to provide this file to technical support,  
either copy the file off of the device, or copy the file to the Mounted Volume  
folder (My Computer\Mounted Volume) before resetting the endpoint.  
Log to telephone system: Diagnostics are logged to a location on the tele-  
phone system. This option is OFF by default.  
Log extended information: Additional diagnostic information is logged.  
This option is usually only enabled when a network administrator needs to  
troubleshoot endpoint issues. Enabling this option may affect client applica-  
tion performance.  
NOTE: Check with your network administrator before changing these fields.  
5. Press OK in the upper-right corner of the Options dialog box to save and apply  
your selections.

Adding a .NET Passport  
NOTE: This option is only available when you are logged on to UC.  
Microsoft Passport is a “universal login” service that allows users to log in to many  
Web sites using one account. Working with .NET Messenger service, passport holders  
can also send messages online or through the telephone system if it is configured to  
handle calls from this type of endpoint. Ask your network administrator if your end-  
point system is configured to handle .NET Messenger calls..  
NOTICE  
At the time of this publication, Microsoft had disabled connectivity to the MSN  
network for third-party products like Unified Communicator, in preparation for a  
licensing model which had not yet been disclosed. Currently, the .NET Passport  
dialog box allows you to enter information, but the functionality has been dis-  
abled. When Inter-Tel is able to determine licensing requirements (if any) and  
how that will affect the future functionality of this product, the documentation  
will be updated accordingly.  
To add passport information:  
1. Press the system tray icon, then select Passport from the menu.  
2. Enter your .NET passport Username and Password in the fields provided.  
3. Enable Handle passport calls.  
4. Press OK.  
Using Advanced Options  
This section details how to use the advanced options available on your client applica-  
tion. Instructions for advanced options are located in the Model 8690 Administrators  
Guide (part no. 550.8120) and the IP Devices Installation Manual (835.2195). It is  
strongly recommended that you check with your network administrator before using  
advanced options.  
CAUTION  
Consult your network administrator before setting options on the Advanced sub-  
menu. Although you can access these options from the system tray menu, you  
should not use them unless your network administrator has supplied you with all  
of the network settings and additional information that are required.

The Default Configuration option restores the endpoint configuration to its default  
state. When this option is selected, your network administrator will need to reconfig-  
ure the network settings on your endpoint if they differ from the default. In addition,  
you will need to re-enter your UC login information on the Session tab of the Options  
dialog box, as indicated in the following instructions.  
NOTE: Do not select the Default Configuration option unless you are instructed to do  
so by your network administrator.  
Self Test  
The Self Test option is used as a diagnostics tool by your network administrator. The  
self test can help determine if the endpoint is operating properly.  
NOTE: Do not select the Self Test option unless you are instructed to do so by your  
network administrator.  
Setup Wizard  
The first time your network administrator runs the client application on your Model  
8690, the setup wizard automatically launches. Once the endpoint setup is complete,  
the wizard will not run again unless you default the endpoint.  
NOTE: Do not select the Setup Wizard option unless you are instructed to do so by  
your network administrator.

INSTALLING SOFTWARE UPGRADES  
Periodically, your endpoint automatically checks for the following upgrades:  
Firmware: You are notified that the upgrade is starting, and the client application  
continues to run. You can monitor the progress of the upgrade on the six-line dis-  
play. When the upgrade is complete, the endpoint resets.  
Phone Application: The client application exits and the upgrade application  
launches. The upgrade application downloads the new version of the client appli-  
cation from the TFTP server, and you can monitor the download progress. When  
the download completes, the upgrade application launches the Windows CE  
.NET installation mechanism and installs the new client application version. At  
this point, you are prompted for where you would like to install the new files (the  
default is \\Mounted Volume\8690 Phone). Press OK to continue with the installa-  
tion. Press Yes when prompted to overwrite existing files. You are notified when  
the upgrade is complete. The upgrade application launches the new version of the  
client application and then exits.  
CAUTION  
Do not press Cancel when the installation dialog box prompts you where you  
would like to install the new files. At this point the previous client application has  
been deleted and if you cancel the upgrade, you will need to contact your network  
administrator to manually reinstall the client application. Also, do not change the  
default location (\\Mounted Volume\8690 Phone) specified in the installation dia-  
log box. The client application must be installed in the Mounted Volume folder to  
survive a reset or an upgrade to the operating system.

Operating System: The client application exits, and the upgrade application  
launches. An upgrade of the operating system takes approximately 30 minutes  
to complete.  
CAUTION  
It is imperative that you do not interrupt the operating system upgrade process  
before it completes. If you attempt to use the endpoint during an upgrade you may  
render it inoperable. To replace the operating system your administrator will  
need to send the endpoint back to Inter-Tel for repair.  
The upgrade application erases the existing version of the operating system  
from the persistent memory. Upon completion, the upgrade application down-  
loads the new version of the operating system from the TFTP server. As the  
new version of the operating system is downloaded, it is simultaneously writ-  
ten to persistent memory, and you can monitor the progress. When the down-  
load and installation completes, you are notified and the endpoint resets. The  
registry settings are lost when the operating system is upgraded. This means  
that certain client application settings stored in the registry are lost as well.  
These include the session and diagnostic options.  
CAUTION  
The Model 8690 does not have a built-in hard drive. Storage memory will not  
survive a reset or an upgrade to the operating system unless the files are  
stored in the Mounted Volume folder on the endpoint (My Com-  
puter\Mounted Volume) or on a host that is accessible from the Model 8690.  
Desktop shortcuts, and any preferences that have not been saved in the registry  
(including UC preferences) will be lost if you upgrade the operating system or if  
the endpoint resets. Do not attempt to use the endpoint while an upgrade is in  
progress or the endpoint may be rendered unusable.

When an upgrade is available, the Software Upgrade dialog box opens, and you are  
prompted to install the upgrade. To install the upgrade immediately, press OK. To  
install the upgrade later, you can set a reminder (see instructions below). When the  
reminder timer has expired, the Software Upgrade dialog box automatically prompts  
you to install the pending upgrade.  
To set a reminder to install an upgrade:  
1. On the Software Upgrade dialog box, set the reminder timer using the drop-down  
box. Your options are:  
1 hour  
1 day  
3 days  
2. Press Remind Me Later. When the specified time has elapsed, the Software  
Upgrade dialog box opens, and you are prompted to install the pending upgrade.  
The Auto Upgrade option (see page 36) on the Advanced submenu allows you to  
search for new software versions, and access pending upgrades.  
MAKING AND RECEIVING CALLS  
Making and receiving calls is the basic purpose of any endpoint. With your endpoint,  
you can make/receive intercom and outside calls and make emergency calls.  
CAUTION  
Consult your system administrator and your local Inter-Tel servicing company for  
important information about dialing emergency services from your Model 8690  
before you begin using it.  
Intercom Calls  
Your extension number allows other people to place intercom calls to you, without  
dialing any extra codes. And, because every endpoint in your system is assigned an  
extension number, you can call other people in your system quickly and easily.  
NOTE: Ask your system administrator for a list of extensions.

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

Receiving Intercom Calls  
Your endpoint can receive both intercom and non-handsfree intercom calls. If the  
handsfree feature is enabled on your endpoint, intercom calls are automatically  
answered. Non-handsfree intercom calls (see page 41) override the handsfree option.  
If your handsfree feature is disabled, or if you receive a non-handsfree intercom call,  
you must pick up the handset or press the Answer button to answer the call.  
When you use Unified Communicator to route incoming calls to your endpoint, calls  
will always ring the endpoint, even if you have chosen to use the handsfree feature.  
Without this initial ring, your endpoint would terminate the routing of the call, poten-  
tially preventing you from receiving the call on a cell phone or other device while you  
are away from your desk.

USING DO-NOT-DISTURB MODE  
If you are away from your desk, or if you do not want to be disturbed, you can use the  
DND feature. This halts all pages and calls to your endpoint, except queue callbacks,  
recalls, and direct ring-in calls. When other users call your endpoint, they hear a  
repeating signal of four fast tones and, if they have a display endpoint, see the DND  
message you have selected.  
Your telephone system can have up to 20 different DND messages, each of which can  
be changed by the system administrator, installer, or programmer. Your trainer or sys-  
tem administrator will give you a list of the programmed DND messages. For conve-  
nience, you should update the following default list.  
DEFAULT MESSAGE  
01 DO-NOT-DISTURB  
02 LEAVE A MESSAGE  
03 IN MEETING UNTIL  
04 IN MEETING  
NEW MESSAGE  
DEFAULT MESSAGE  
11 OUT OF TOWN ’TIL  
12 OUT OF OFFICE  
13 OUT UNTIL  
NEW MESSAGE  
14 WITH A CLIENT  
15 WITH A GUEST  
16 UNAVAILABLE  
05 ON VACATION ’TIL  
06 ON VACATION  
07 CALL ME AT  
17 IN CONFERENCE  
18 AWAY FROM DESK  
19 GONE HOME  
08 AT THE DOCTOR  
09 ON A TRIP  
10 ON BREAK  
20 OUT TO LUNCH  
Because the system DND message only uses one line of your display, you can enter a  
second line of text, up to 16 characters. For example, if you select 03 (IN MEETING  
UNTIL) as your first line of text, you can enter “3:30” as your second line. Callers  
will then see, “IN MEETING UNTIL 3:30.”  
NOTE: By default, call routing is enabled when running Unified Communicator. If you  
do not want to receive calls while in DND or your status is “unavailable,” either turn call  
routing off, or create a rule for internal callers and external callers so that your calls are  
routed appropriately (for example, to voice mail). If you want callers to know your DND  
status, create greetings for each of the statuses on the system or create greetings for  
the statuses you use, then use these greetings in routing rules (based on the DND sta-  
tuses). If using greetings in your call routing rules, turn off system forwarding.

the desired characters. (Refer to the chart below.) The number of times a but-  
ton is pressed determines which character is entered. For example,

under the same button, press Fwd once to advance to the next character. For  
example, 6Fwd666Fwd6632999 enters “MONDAY.” (Note that letters corre-  
spond to the letters printed on the buttons.) Press Fwd twice to leave a space  
or press Mute to backspace.

INTRODUCTION  
In this section, you’ll learn how to program your endpoint, use directories, access  
your voice mailbox remotely, and perform various other functions. The features in  
this section do not require the endpoint to be logged on to UC. For instructions on  
how to use UC advanced features on your endpoint, see page 81.  
For additional programming information, see the Model 8690 Administrators Guide.  
SETTING PREFERENCES  
Your endpoint and voice mailbox are automatically set to specific defaults. You can,  
however, configure many of these settings at any time.  
Endpoint Configuration  
Customizable features on your endpoint include changing volume levels, enabling  
background music, selecting a ring tone, and others.  
Changing Volume Levels  
The endpoint has eight volume settings accessed through “soft” buttons on the inter-  
face: handset intercom, handset outside call, speakerphone intercom, speakerphone  
outside call, background music, ringing, handset intercom dial tone, and speaker-  
phone intercom dial tone.  
NOTE: To change each of these levels, you must be using that feature. For example, if  
you want to change the speakerphone level for an intercom call, you must be on a  
handsfree intercom call.  
To change a volume level:  
Press the Up Volume button to increase the volume. Press the Down Volume button  
to decrease the volume.  
To save your change:

(ask your voice mail administrator).  
Depending on the transfer method you select, transferred calls from voice mail may  
be unannounced (as usual), or one of the following may occur:  
“Announce Only” Calls: Before voice mail transfers a call to you, a prompt asks  
the caller to record his or her name. When you answer, you hear You have a call  
from (callers name).”  
“Screened” Calls: Before voice mail transfers a call to you, a prompt asks the  
caller to record his or her name. When you answer, you hear You have a call

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

SPEED DIALING  
Speed dialing allows you (and your system administrator) to store frequently dialed  
numbers for easy dialing. Each number is stored on your endpoint (Station Speed  
Dial) or in the telephone system (System Speed Dial) and is identified by a location  
number. Once programmed, you can quickly dial these numbers by entering a feature  
code and dialing the desired location number. Because the system supports both sta-  
tion and system speed-dial numbers, you can have access to over 1000 stored num-  
bers.  
You can also use the speed-dial buttons through the Unified Communicator interface  
(see page 89). These buttons are not limited in the number you can have and they dis-  
play real-time status. The Unified Communicator speed-dial list and the speed-dial  
functionality discussed here are not related.  
Station Speed Dial  
You can program and use up to 10 personal speed-dial numbers on your endpoint.  
Programming Station Speed-Dial Numbers  
To store a speed-dial number, use the Station Speed-Dial Programming feature code  
to program the number in a speed-dial location. Use the following table to list the  
numbers that you store in speed-dial locations 0-9.  
0 _______________________ 5 _______________________  
1 _______________________ 6 _______________________  
2 _______________________ 7 _______________________

3. Enter the desired name for the speed-dial number, as described below:  
Alphanumeric mode (Message lamp lit): Press the dialpad buttons to enter  
the desired characters. (Refer to the chart on page 74.) The number of times  
a button is pressed determines which character is entered. For example,  
533266 would enter “JEAN.” When adjoining characters are located under  
the same button, press Fwd once to advance to the next character. For exam-  
ple, 66Fwd6667776 would enter “NORM.” (Note that letters correspond to  
the letters printed on dialpad buttons 2-9.) Press Fwd twice to leave a space.  
Press Mute if you need to backspace.  
Press the ACCEPT menu button to save the name.

PAGING  
The Paging feature allows you to make an announcement through endpoint speakers  
or external speakers (if your system is equipped with external paging equipment). To  
prevent announcements from transmitting through every endpoint in the system, this  
feature uses page zones. Each zone contains a different combination of extensions and  
external paging equipment, and is programmed by your system administrator. Ask  
your trainer or system administrator how the zones are programmed, and list them  
below for your convenience:  
0 _______________________ 5 _______________________

USING ACCOUNT CODES  
If your telephone system is programmed to use the Station Message Detail Recording  
(SMDR) feature, you might be required to enter account codes when you place a call.  
These codes add information to telephone record reports that the system will periodi-  
cally print.  
There are three types of account codes:  
Standard account codes are automatically entered into the SMDR report when-  
ever you place a call.  
Forced account codes must be dialed before you can place an outside call.  
Optional account codes can be entered at any time during a call.

SCREENING CALLS  
NOTE: This feature is available only if your telephone system is equipped with a Voice  
Processor (voice mail).  
If your voice mailbox is programmed correctly, you can screen calls that are trans-  
ferred from voice mail. This allows you to accept and/or refuse specific calls.  
Depending on the transfer method you use, calls from voice mail may be unan-  
nounced, announce only, or screened calls (see page 64 for details).  
If your voice mailbox is programmed for screened calls, you have the following  
options when you receive a transfer:  
Press  
Press  
Press  
Press

USING THE DIRECTORIES  
With directories, you can use your endpoint dialpad to find names, numbers and fea-  
tures. You can then use the directory information to make calls, access features, or  
leave voice mail messages.  
Telephone Directory  
The telephone directory contains a list of the extension numbers, system speed-dial  
numbers, feature codes, and their associated names. To search for an item, you can  
enter the full or partial name. The system will then find the closest match. Once the  
correct match is displayed on your endpoint, you can dial the number or press a but-  
ton to access that extension or feature.

Remain in alphanumeric mode (Message lamp lit): Press the dialpad buttons  
to enter the desired characters. (Note that letters correspond to the letters  
printed on dialpad buttons 2-9.) The number of times a button is pressed  
determines which character is entered. For example, 77776444844 would  
enter “SMITH.” When adjoining characters are located under the same but-  
ton, press Fwd once to advance to the next character. For example,  
5666Fwd66337777 would enter “JONES.” Press Fwd twice to leave a space  
or press Mute to backspace.  
Change to numeric mode (Message lamp unlit): Press the dialpad buttons to  
enter an extension number. Press Mute to backspace.  
3. Press the SEARCH menu button to begin the search. If desired, you can use the  
PREVIOUS and NEXT menu buttons or the high/low arrows next to the Volume  
button to move alphabetically through the directory.

Voice Mail Directory  
Whenever voice mail asks you to enter a mailbox number, you can use the mailbox  
and extension number directories. You can also use these directories to leave a voice  
message with another user. Like the telephone directory, you don’t have to enter the  
full name because the system finds the closest match based on your entry.  
To perform a directory search using your dialpad buttons:  
When prompted, press the buttons to enter the name. The number of times a button is  
pressed determines which character is entered, as shown below. When adjoining char-  
acters are under the same button, press Fwd to advance to the next character. For

REQUESTING AGENT HELP  
NOTE: This feature is not supported on peer-to-peer (P2P) calls. Ask your network  
administrator if your endpoint is configured to use P2P audio.  
Your telephone system may be programmed to support the Agent Help feature, which  
allows you to request help from a designated “Agent Help Extension” (usually your  
supervisor) during a call. When your request call rings at the Agent Help Extension,  
the supervisor can choose to join the call or reject the request.  
If the Agent Help Extension is a digital endpoint, the endpoint’s microphone is auto-  
matically muted so that the supervisor cannot be heard unless he or she presses the  
Mute button. If the Agent Help Extension is a single-line set, however, the supervisor  
can be heard as soon as the conference is established. In either case, the supervisor  
can hear all other parties on the call.  
To use the Agent Help feature while on a call:  
3
7
5
1. Press  
and dial  
. If you hear repeating tones, the Agent Help  
feature is not available at your endpoint, you already have four parties in your  
call, not enough system circuits are currently available, or the Agent Help Exten-  
sion is in DND.  
2. Dial the Agent Help Extension number, if required. (Your endpoint may be pro-  
grammed to automatically dial the number, or you may be required to dial it.)  
If the Agent Help Extension accepts the call, you hear the Agent Help tone, if it is  
enabled, and the supervisor can monitor or join your call.  
If the Agent Help Extension rejects the call, you hear a confirmation tone, and the  
display shows AGENT HELP REJECTED.  
To respond to an Agent Help request:  
When you receive an Agent Help request, your display shows <name> REQUESTS  
HELP. You can do one of the following:  
To accept the call: Answer as usual. Your microphone is muted and you cannot  
be heard by either party unless you press the Mute button.  
To reject the call: Press the REJECT HELP menu button.

WORKING IN HUNT GROUPS  
Your system may be programmed with “hunt groups.” Hunt groups are groups of  
phones that share a common extension number in addition to having individual exten-  
sion numbers. This allows someone to call anyone in the group (using the common  
extension) or a specific member (using the individual extension). The members of  
these groups and the common extension(s) are programmed by your system adminis-  
trator.  
When logged on to Unified Communicator and call routing is enabled, hunt group  
calls continue to work as usual. You can use Unified Communicator call routing in  
conjunction with your role as a hunt group member to receive personal calls while in  
DND or to simply route personal calls as desired.  
Hunt Group Calls Enabled/Disabled  
If you are a member of a hunt group, you can enable or halt hunt group calls to your  
extension.  
To turn on or off hunt group calls:  
3

4
Dial  
.
ACD Hunt Groups  
Some hunt groups use a special feature called Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) that  
distributes the hunt group calls equally among the available members. These hunt  
group members are referred to as “agents,” who log in to the ACD hunt group to  
receive calls and log out to halt ACD hunt group calls.  
Distributing Calls  
Calls are distributed through an ACD hunt group based on Agent IDs or extensions,  
as described below.  
Agent IDs: If the hunt group is programmed to use ACD Agent IDs, each agent  
is assigned an Agent ID number to enter during the login procedure (described on  
the next page). The hunt group calls are routed to logged-in agents, according to  
their Agent ID number instead of their extension number. Because the Agent ID  
is not associated with any extension, the agent can use any endpoint in the system  
to log in.  
Members: If the hunt group is not programmed to use Agent IDs, it will have a  
pre-programmed list of phones and will send calls to the phones where agents are  
logged in.

3. Do one of the following:  
To log into ACD hunt groups using Agent IDs: Enter your Agent ID. The dis-  
play shows AGENT LOGGED INTO ALL ACDS. You are logged into the  
ACD hunt group using Agent IDs.  
NOTE: If another Agent ID is already logged in at this endpoint, you hear  
repeating tones, and the display shows DIFFERENT AGENT ID ALREADY  
USED. You must have the other agent log out before you can use that end-  
point.  
To log into one or more ACD hunt groups not using Agent IDs: Press  
The display shows AGENT LOGGED INTO ALL ACDS. You are logged

When you log in to a group, you may be automatically connected to a call after you  
hear a short ring burst. If the ACD Agent ID Automatic Connect option is enabled for  
your hunt group and you are using a headset, you will be automatically connected. If  
this option is not enabled for your hunt group, the call will ring until you answer it or  
until it times out to another extension.  
NOTE: Even if the ACD Agent ID Automatic Connect option is enabled, the first call  
you receive (after you log in or remove your endpoint from DND while logged in) will  
ring until you answer it. You will, however, be automatically connected to subsequent  
calls.

INTRODUCTION  
In this section you’ll learn how to log on and off of Unified Communicator (UC) and  
use UC views to access advanced endpoint features and presence management  
options.  
NOTE: Before you use UC on your Model 8690, you must create a UC account using  
the Web Client, which is the primary UC client that runs on your PC desktop (see  
page 83). In addition, some UC options can only be changed or implemented from the  
Web Client. For information about using the Web Client, see the latest version of the  
Unified Communicator User Guide.  
LOGGING ON AND OFF OF UC  
The client application is configured to start automatically when the endpoint powers  
up. Although the client application may be running, you may not be logged on to UC  
(as indicated with the system tray icon  
). If the client application is not running,  
you can launch it manually by navigating to My Computer\Mounted Volume\8690  
Phone and then double-pressing 8690Phone.exe.  
To log on to UC:  
1. Press the system tray icon, then select Log on from the menu. If UC is not con-  
figured to log on automatically, you are prompted for the following information:  
a. Enter the Web Address that you use to access UC. The Web address is in the  
format http://<UC Machine Name or IP Address>/uc. (It is the same address  
you use to log on to UC from your Web Client on your PC.)  
b. Enter your account Username. (This is the same username that you use to  
log on to UC on your desktop PC.)  
c. Enter your account Password. (This is the same password that you use to  
log on to UC on your desktop PC.)  
2. Enable the Automatically log on option if you would like to log on automatically  
to UC without entering the Web address, username, and password information.  
If this option is enabled, the application will not prompt you for Web address,  
username and password information, unless you have not already provided it or  
the logon fails.  
3. Press OK in the upper, right corner of the dialog box.  
NOTE: If you enter the wrong username/password on three consecutive attempts,  
an error message appears, the logon dialog box closes, and you must attempt  
another logon from the system tray menu.  
To log off of UC:  
Press the system tray icon, then select Log off from the menu. The UC view items on  
the main interface are disabled.

Performing a Search  
NOTE: You must use the Web Client to use the Advanced Search function.  
ALSO: Unified Communicator will automatically try to eliminate duplicate results from  
the search results list. If the search matches an account, as well as one or more

Each search will match on the search text if it appears anywhere within one of the  
above fields. For example, a search for “sc” would match on all of the following:  
Contact with First Name: Scott  
Contact with Last Name: Prescott  
Contact with Middle Name: Rosco  
Contact with Company: Bill’s Scooters

list. The call list shows all call activity for every device you own (in addition to the  
Model 8690).  
If an incoming caller is positively identified, a Caller ID icon ( )appears next to the  
caller’s name. This indicates the caller was positively identified and the call followed

selected the option to receive message alerts, a popup message  
indicates the mailbox number.  
Ends the call.  
Deletes the selected item from the list.  
Displays detailed information for the selected item in the list.  
NOTE: Call Control buttons are displayed based on the features that are enabled on  
the system and the state of the displayed call. The operating mode of the endpoint dic-  
tates which features are supported. For example, if the Record-A-Call feature is not  
enabled,  
is not displayed. Similarly, if the call is in a state that does not sup-  
is not displayed.  
port the Record-A-Call feature (i.e., on hold),  
When UC receives a call from a number that it cannot match to a contact in the  
address book, it uses positive Caller ID to try to identify the caller. If the caller is  
identified as a contact in your address book, a wizard automatically launches after you  
answer the call to allow you to save the new number for the contact.  
The following instructions are for common tasks that you can perform using the Call

ADDRESS BOOK VIEW  
NOTE: You must use the Web Client to Synchronize your UC Address Book and to  
add, edit, and delete Groups.  
The Address Book view is where you store and work with your contact information.  
The address book stores two types of contacts: static and linked. Linked contacts are  
associated with an account or device on the telephone system, and display a real-time  
status. Static contacts contain information about a person or company you manually  
added to the address book. Static contacts are not linked to an account or device and  
do not display status.  
Contacts are displayed in a scrollable table under the columns, Name, Status, and  
Options. You can sort, filter, edit, call, check the status of, or simply view address  
book information.  
Sorting Address Book Contacts  
The Address Book table allows you to sort your contacts using the Name and Status  
column headings.  
To sort Address Book contacts:  
1. Press Address Book on the endpoint display. You can sort the address book by  
the following columns:  
Name: Lists contacts as [Last Name, First Name].  
Status: Displays current status information for the contact. The information  
displayed depends on the type of result as follows:  
Linked Account: Displays the current status icon for the user.  
Linked Device: Displays the current DND status for the device.  
NOTE: An additional column displays the endpoint icon to call a contact. This  
column cannot be sorted.  
2. Press either of the column names to sort the contacts in the table. Pressing the  
same column name again sorts the data in the opposite direction (ascending/  
descending order).

Indicates that the DND status for the device is currently unknown. This  
icon displays if the type-ahead results display a device that is not cur-  
rently in your address book. Press this icon to retrieve the status. The  
snapshot reverts back to an unknown state in approximately 30 seconds.  
This icon can also appear when the node the device belongs to is down  
or when the connection between UC and the CT Gateway is down.  
Indicates that the DND status for the device is currently OFF.  
Indicates that the DND status for the device is currently ON.  
Indicates that the device is currently on a call.  
Indicates a call log entry that is neither a device nor account. The pres-  
ence of this icon does not necessarily indicate that the given name/num-  
ber corresponds to an entry in your address book.  
Indicates a simple company contact.  
2. Check the Status column for text information about the current account or device  
status.

Adding a Linked Contact  
A linked contact is connected to a UC account or device in the system. Like simple  
contacts, linked contacts also store contact information. Unlike simple contacts,  
linked contacts also display real-time status information for the account or device to  
which they are linked.

2. Enter the first few characters of the contact using the Input Panel. (You can also  
enter the entire contact name or device extension.)  
3. If there are too many results, enter additional characters to refine the search. The  
search results include all matching contacts in your address book, all matching  
users, and all matching devices in the system. The search function automatically  
tries to eliminate duplicate results from the list. If the search matches an account,  
as well as one or more devices owned by the account, then the search results will  
only display the matching account.  
TIP: To select a range of items, activate the Input Panel (see page 13). Select the  
first item in your list, press the SHIFT key on the Input Panel, then select the last  
item in the list. You can also select one item, then press the CTRL key and select  
additional items.  
4. Press Add to Address Book. The selected items are added as linked accounts and  
linked devices respectively.

and to the address book.  
5. Repeat steps 1-4 to add additional linked contacts.  
To delete a contact from your address book:  
1. Press Address Book on the interface. The address book with your contact infor-  
mation appears.  
2. Select a contact and press Delete. See the tip following step 3. for information on  
how to select a range of items.  
NOTE: Removing a contact from the address book also removes it from the  
speed-dial list.

INTRODUCTION  
If you want to know more about your endpoint and voice mail system, this is the sec-  
tion for you. With additional information and FAQs, you should be able to find  
answers to most of your questions.  
NOTE: Because the telephone system is very flexible and programmable, the proce-  
dures for using the features might vary slightly from the descriptions in this guide. If so,  
your trainer or system administrator can tell you how your system differs and how to  
use the features.  
WHAT THE ADMINISTRATORS CAN DO FOR YOU  
The administrators are the people to whom you should turn if you have any problems  
with your endpoint and/or voice mail. They have access to advanced programming  
features and can reset certain settings associated with your endpoint.  
The types of administrators that can help you with your endpoint/voice mail are as  
follows:  
System Administrator: Performs certain telephone system functions, including:  
— Setting the date and time  
— Programming System Speed-Dial numbers  
— Making database changes, such as programming usernames, toll restriction,  
DND messages, and extension numbers  
Voice Mail Administrator: Performs tasks associated with the voice mail sys-  
tem, including:  
— Recording a broadcast message that is sent to all mailboxes at once  
— Performing mailbox maintenance (such as changing your password)  
— Customizing voice mail prompts  
NOTE: For problems that are network- or Internet-related, consult your network admin-  
istrator.  
If you are an administrator and need additional information that is not available in this  
guide, refer to one of the following documents:  
Model 8690 Administrators: Model 8690 Administrators Guide (part no. 550.8120).  
System/Voice Mail Administrators: Axxess Administrators Guide (part no.  
550.8001).  
Network Administrators: IP Devices Installation Manual (part no. 835.2195).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)  
This section includes some of the most frequently asked questions. If you have prob-  
lems with your endpoint or voice mailbox, refer to this section before you contact the  
appropriate administrator or your local Inter-Tel dealer.  
Q1.  
A1.  
How do I program System Speed-Dial numbers?  
Only your system administrator can program System Speed-Dial numbers. You can,  
however, program up to ten Station Speed-Dial numbers without UC (see page 67), or  
add an unlimited number of contacts to your Speed-Dial list with UC (see page 89).  
Q2.  
A2.  
How do I change the time and date on my endpoint?  
Only your system administrator can change the time and date. Please contact your  
system administrator if you notice that the date and time are incorrect. You can only  
change the time and date for Windows CE. NET.  
Q3.  
A3.  
How can I retrieve messages if I do not know the password for my voice mail?  
Try using your extension number, which is your default password. Or, maybe you do  
is all you need to do. If these  
#
options don’t work, contact your voice mail administrator, who can change or erase  
the password for you. You can then retrieve your messages and reset the password, if  
desired (see page 62).  
Q4.  
A4.  
Why cant I retrieve deleted messages?  
Voice mail may have erased your message. After a programmed amount of time has  
lapsed, up to 24 hours, voice mail automatically erases all deleted messages (see  
page 53). If you attempted to undelete a voice mail message within this time frame  
but you were still unsuccessful, your voice mail system may not have sufficient space  
programmed to store deleted messages.  
Q5.  
A5.  
How can I set the number of rings that are allowed before the call is sent to voice  
mail?  
Only your system administrator can change the number of rings.  
Q6.  
A6.  
How can I change the name displayed on my endpoint?  
Only your system administrator can change the usernames assigned to extensions.

Q7.  
A7.  
Why dont the local telephone company star codes (i.e.*82, *69, etc.) work when I  
8
press the Outgoing button or use the Outgoing Call feature code (  
by default) to  
call an outside number?  
8
Rather than pressing the Outgoing button or  
to access an outside line, you must  
dial a Select Line Group number before you can use the star codes. For example, if  
your system is using the default Select Line Group numbers, dial 92001 to access that  
line. Once you have dial tone, you can dial the star code and the number.  
Q8.  
A8.  
Why cant I use one of the features described in this guide?  
Ask your system administrator what mode your endpoint is operating in. You can only  
use the features that are supported by the operating mode that your endpoint is using.  
If your endpoint is operating in another mode, request the proper user guide from your  
system administrator.  
Q9.  
A9.  
Why cant I use the Agent Help or Record-a-Call features?  
If your endpoint is configured to use peer-to-peer (P2P) audio, you will not be able to  
use the Agent Help and Record-A-Call features when you are on a P2P call. To deter-  
mine if your endpoint is configured to use P2P audio, consult your network adminis-  
trator.  
Q10.  
A10.  
What happened to the skin and custom ring I saved?  
The preferences that you save, like skin and custom ring, are only used when the end-  
point is in the state (logged on or off UC) that it was in when you set these prefer-  
ences. The Model 8690 allows you to save two sets of preferences that are stored  
locally on the endpoint. For example, if you log into UC and save a custom ring and  
skin to use with your UC account, the skin and custom ring will only be available  
when you are logged in to UC.  
Q11.  
A11.  
Can I store applications and data on my endpoint?  
The Mounted Volume folder is the only location on the endpoint where data and files  
persist across power loss and resets. Although you can store a small amount of data  
on the endpoint, it is strongly suggested that you store applications and data on an  
accessible storage device such as a Compact Flash memory card or your desktop PC.  
Q12.  
A12.  
Why do the views change when my endpoint is logged on to UC and there is call  
activity on my endpoint?  
When you are logged on to UC, the Model 8690 automatically displays the most  
appropriate view based on the current activity. For example, if your endpoint is  
logged on to UC and the dialpad and display are showing, an incoming call will trig-  
ger UC to display the Call List view. The Call List view allows you to see who is cur-  
rently calling, and also allows you to use the Call Control buttons to take action on  
the call. When the call is no longer active, the original view is restored.

Q13.  
A13.  
When I set my preferences using the Options dialog box, I opted to use large icons.  
Because the large icons and text take up so much area in the tables that display the  
information, how can I see all of the information that is displayed?  
The large fonts option (see page 32) increases the size of the text and icons when the  
information is presented in a table format such as the Address Book view, Call List  
view, etc. However, the overall size of the table remains the same whether you use  
large fonts or not. Therefore, large fonts will take up more table area and reduce the  
amount of information that you can view in the table at one time. To view additional  
information when using large fonts, you can scroll to the information using the verti-  
cal and horizontal scroll bars. If you notice that some of the information is cut off,  
you can resize the column by moving the column bar in the heading to the right or the  
left.  
Q14.  
A14.  
If I need further assistance, how do I get technical support?  
First, contact the appropriate administrator (system, voice mail, or network) if you  
have a question that is not covered in this user guide. If you need further assistance,  
contact your local authorized Inter-Tel dealer. Dealers can be located using the Inter-  
Tel Web site at www.inter-tel.com. All Inter-Tel sales, service, and support are han-  
dled at the local level.
