GETTING STARTED

As soon as you are given a telephone and extension number, you need to set up a password and record your name announcement and personal greeting. This chapter covers these topics:


Setting Up Your Password and Voice Mail for the First Time NBX NetSet Utility Quick Reference Guides

For how to access NBX® features from an analog telephone, set your password as described next and then see the NBX Feature Codes Guide in the NBX NetSetTM utility.

Setting Up Your Password and Voice Mail for the First Time

The procedure by which you set up your password and voice mailbox for the first time depends on:


The kind of telephone that you have The kind of voice messaging system on your NBX system. Ask your administrator what kind of voice messaging is active on your system.

Table 4 describes how to set up your first password. For details on tones and codes on analog telephones, see the NBX Feature Codes Guide in the NBX NetSet utility.

Table 4 Setting Your NBX NetSet and Messaging Password
Feature Password -- Set Initially If your system uses NBX Messaging, follow the NBX voice prompts to set your NBX password (which is the same for NBX NetSet and voice messaging) OR use the NBX NetSet utility, described next. If your system uses a voice messaging application other than NBX Voice Messaging, use this code sequence to set your password for the NBX NetSet utility. 3Com recommends that you use the same password for NBX NetSet and your voice messaging application. FOR ALL VOICE MESSAGING SYSTEMS:


NBX Business Phones Msg button and follow the voice prompts

NBX Basic Phones Msg button and follow the voice prompts

Password -- Change If your system uses NBX Messaging, follow the NBX voice prompts to change your NBX password (which changes your NBX NetSet password, because they are the same) OR use the NBX NetSet utility, described next. If your system uses a voice messaging application other than NBX Voice Messaging, use this code sequence to change your password for the NBX NetSet utility. 3Com recommends that you use the same password for NBX NetSet and your voice messaging application. FOR ALL VOICE MESSAGING SYSTEMS:


500 ** + current password +# +2 + follow the prompts

OR, for systems that do not use NBX Messaging: Feature + 434 + current password +# + new password +# + repeat your new password

NBX NetSet Utility

The NBX NetSet administration utility has two interfaces:


Administrator -- Your administrator logs on with a special password and uses the NBX NetSet utility to manage and configure system-wide telephone settings and many of the settings for your telephone. User -- As a telephone user, you log in to the NBX NetSet utility with your own system ID (your extension) and password to:




View and change your telephone's personal settings, such as speed dials, ringer tone, and specify where you want your calls to go when you cannot answer them (your call coverage point) Listen to and delete your voice messages from your computer as an alternative to managing calls on your telephone. View your call permissions, current feature settings, and the internal user directory to call other users on your system, and log in to and log out of one or all hunt groups and calling groups of which your telephone is a member.





See Chapter 5, Chapter 6, and Chapter 7 for discussions about the standard and enhanced features that you can monitor and change in the NBX NetSet utility. See Chapter 4 for voice messaging features. If your NBX system uses a third-party messaging application, off-site notification and other voice messaging features are available through your messaging application. See the application's documentation rather than using this Guide. Starting the NBX NetSet Utility To use the NBX NetSet utility, you need a computer that is connected to your local area network (LAN) and that has a web browser. (You do not need Internet access.) To start the NBX NetSet utility: 1 Ask your administrator for the IP (web) address for your NBX system. You cannot log in to NBX NetSet until you have established your password through your telephone using NBX voice prompts or the Feature Code sequence. See Table 4. 2 In the web browser on your computer, enter the IP address in the Address field. The NBX NetSet login screen appears. Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or later is optimal. 3 Click User to log in as a user. The password dialog box appears. 4 Type your NBX NetSet user identification (always your 3-digit or 4-digit telephone extension) and your NBX NetSet password, and then click OK.

NBX Messaging Components

A key component of the NBX Networked Telephony Solutions is the NBX Messaging system, which includes voice mail, off-site notification, and several administrative features. Voice mail allows callers to leave voice messages in your voice mailbox when you are not able to answer your telephone. You can listen to, save, and forward those messages from any touch-tone telephone. If your system uses a third-party messaging application, use the documentation for your messaging application instead of the instructions in this chapter. EXCEPTION: Use the procedures in "Changing Your Password" regardless of your messaging application.

Important Considerations



The steps are the same for initially setting up the name announcement, personal greetings, and passwords for personal, greeting-only, and phantom voice mailboxes. See "Setting Up Your Password and Voice Mail for the First Time" in Chapter 1 for details. (Your administrator creates group mailboxes and their passwords.) For changes to passwords and greetings, see "Changing Your Password" and "Changing Your Name Announcement and Personal Greeting" later in this chapter. The default setting message on the sys your organization's mail messages that for the maximum length of each voice mail tem is 5 minutes. Your administrator can configure NBX messaging system to receive and store voice are up to 10 minutes long.







Use the Off-Site Notification feature if you want the NBX system to notify you when callers leave voice mail messages in your voice mailbox. See "Off-Site Notification" in Chapter 6.

For information on accessing NBX features from an analog telephone, see the NBX Feature Codes Guide in the NBX NetSetTM utility. For how to set up your NBX NetSet password the first time, see Chapter 1.

Changing Your Password

You use the same 4-digit to 10-digit password to log in to the NBX NetSet utility and to access your NBX voice mail. You can change this password with your telephone (using the NBX voice prompts or a feature code) or through the NBX NetSet utility. See Table 8. See Chapter 1 for how to set up your password for the first time. If you forget your password, the administrator can set it to be your extension number. Then follow the instructions in Table 8 to change it to a more secure password. See "Security Tips" next. If your NBX system uses a third-party messaging system:


Use the feature code method in Table 8 to set and change the NBX NetSet password. 3Com recommends that you use the same password for your voice messaging system and for the NBX NetSet utility.

Security Tips



Change your password often. Do not use passwords that can easily identify you, such as your phone extension or birth date. Avoid simple passwords such as 1234 or 0000. Use numbers only; do not use * or # as part of your password. Longer passwords are more secure. Never tell your password to anyone.



Changing Your Name Announcement and Personal Greeting

Change your personal greeting often, to let callers know, for instance, that you are on vacation, available at another number, or unavailable for a specified amount of time. You may also want to change the greeting to say that your extension is a "greeting-only mailbox," so that callers do not attempt to leave messages. See "Greeting-Only Mailbox" later in this chapter.

Other Ways to Manage Your Voice Mail Messages

You can listen to and, in some configurations, delete your voice messages from within an e-mail application or a messaging application using your Internet browser. For details, see "Listening to Your Messages in Your E-mail or Browser" in Chapter 7.

Other Kinds of Mailboxes

The NBX system allows you (for the greeting-only mailbox) or the administrator (for phantom or group mailboxes) to set up mailboxes for special situations, as described in this section. When you designate that your mailbox is a greeting-only mailbox, callers hear your personal greeting but they cannot leave a voice mail message. Examples:


Greeting-Only Mailbox

If you are a teacher in a school, you can create a personal greeting message every day that explains homework assignments. Students call in to the greeting-only mailbox to get the homework information but cannot leave a message for you on this mailbox. When you take an extended personal greeting with the sc during your absence. Callers but are unable to leave voice leave of absence, you can create a heduled date of return and whom to call can be transferred to other extensions mail messages for you.





If you are the administrator, you can create a greeting-only mailbox and use the personal greeting to post information for employees, such as a notice that the offices are closed because of bad weather.

To change your voice mailbox to a greeting-only mailbox, in NBX NetSet > NBX Messaging, select Greeting Only Mailbox. When you create the personal greeting, remember to tell callers that they cannot leave messages in this voice mailbox. For instructions on changing the personal greeting, see "Changing Your Name Announcement and Personal Greeting" earlier in this chapter. In addition to preventing a caller from leaving a message, a greeting-only mailbox does not allow anyone to:


Forward or create and send a message to it Reply to a message that was sent from its extension

Avoid adding a greeting-only mailbox to a personal voice mail group list.

CHAPTER 4: NBX VOICE MESSAGI

Phantom Mailbox

A phantom mailbox does not have an actual telephone associated with it. The administrator sets up a phantom mailbox. Examples:


If you are a sales representative who travels constantly for your organization and never comes into the office, you still need a way to receive telephone messages. Using your phantom mailbox, you can retrieve, forward, and save messages in the same way that any other employee can but without a physical telephone connected to your NBX system. If you are an employee who lives a long distance from your office and work from home, customers and others can leave messages in the your phantom mailbox and you can call in to the NBX system to retrieve them.



You retrieve messages from a phantom mailbox in the same way that you retrieve messages from a personal mailbox. See "Listening to NBX Messages" earlier in this chapter. Group Mailbox A group mailbox is a voice mailbox from which a group of users can retrieve messages. Your administrator creates group mailboxes and can explain how to retrieve messages that are left in the group mailbox. Example:


During nonbusiness hours, the system can send incoming telephone calls for your sales department to a group mailbox. Your administrator assigns to the appropriate sales people the ability to listen to, forward, or otherwise handle all messages that are directed to the group mailbox.

Your administrator can assign a Message Waiting Indicator for the group mailbox to an Access button on the NBX Business Telephone of each group member. The light next to the mapped button indicates when the group mailbox has messages in it. A group member can press the button to retrieve messages from the group mailbox.

The system places the caller on hold and selects a new line. 2 Dial the extension number to which you want to transfer the call. 3 When the recipient answers, announce the call.


Announced (Screened) Transfer

If the recipient wants to take the call, press Transfer again to complete the transfer, and hang up the handset. If you are on an NBX Business Telephone and the recipient does not want to take the call, retrieve it by pressing the Access button on which the call originated.




Direct Mail Transfer

47



If you are on an NBX Basic Telephone, and the recipient does not want to take the call, press and release the hook switch to disconnect the attempted transfer, and then retrieve the original call by pressing Call Toggle.

Blind Transfer

In a blind transfer, you transfer the call without notifying the recipient: 1 While on a call, press the Transfer button. The system places the caller on hold and selects a new line. 2 Dial the number to which you want to transfer the call. 3 As soon as you hear a full ring, press the Transfer button and hang up. (If you press the Transfer button too soon after you dial the number, the transfer may not occur.) Your administrator can disable announced Transfers for the entire NBX system. When that setting is enabled, every time that you press the Transfer button, the current call is transferred as soon as you dial the extension -- without waiting for you to announce the call.

Direct Mail Transfer

You can transfer a call directly into another user's voice mailbox. The call does not ring on that user's telephone. Calls transferred to a user's mailbox by means of Direct Mail Transfer are always directed into that user's voice mailbox, even if the recipient has specified a different call coverage point. On an NBX Business Telephone: 1 While you are on a call, press the Access button assigned to Direct Mail Transfer. 2 Dial the extension of the person to whose voice mailbox you want to transfer the call. 3 Hang up the handset. On an NBX Basic Telephone: 1 While you are on a call, press the Feature button and 441. 2 Dial the voice mail extension of the person to whose voice mailbox you want to transfer the call. 3 Hang up the handset.

Establishing a Conference Call

You can establish a Conference Call with up to four parties, including yourself. You must be using a telephone on the NBX system. The other three parties can be any combination of internal and external calls. From an NBX Telephone, follow these steps: On the NBX Basic Telephone, you must use the Feature code instructions in parentheses. For the NBX Business Telephone, use the Conference button OR the Feature Code instructions. 1 Dial a call, or receive a call from someone else. Two parties are now on the call. 2 While on the call, press the Conference button (or press Feature + 430). The system selects a new line and places the first party on hold. 3 Dial a call to an internal or external third party.


For an announced conference, wait for the third party to answer the call, and then press the Conference button (or Feature + 430) again.


Until you press the Conference button (or Feature + 430) the second time, the second party remains on hold, and you may converse with the third party privately.



For a blind conference, press the Conference button (or Feature + 430) immediately after you dial the number. You return to the conference, and you and the second party hear the called party's telephone ringing.

If the third party answers, three parties are now in the conference call. If the third party is internal and does not answer, the attempt to conference is cancelled. You cannot establish a conference call with an NBX user's voice mailbox. 4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 to conference in a fourth party.


On the NBX Business Telephone, to use your speaker phone during the conference call, press the Speaker button. On the NBX Business Telephone, to turn off the microphone, press the Mute button. The other parties cannot hear you, but you can hear them. For details about the Speaker and Mute features, see "Business Telephone Buttons and Controls" in Chapter 2.

More About Conference Calls



To place your part of a conference call on hold, press the Hold button. The other parties can talk among themselves, but they cannot hear you. Music on hold does not play when a conference call is on hold. To transfer a conference call to another telephone, press the Transfer button. Dial the number to which you want to transfer the call, announce to the recipient (optionally) that you are transferring a conference call, and then press the Transfer button again. All of the conferenced parties are transferred except yourself. Your ability to drop the last person that you added to the conference is transferred to the person who accepts the transfer.





Disconnecting the Last Person That You Called

Use the Conference Drop feature to disconnect the last person that you add to a conference call. This feature is helpful if, when you add a party, your call is answered by someone else.


Only the person who added the last caller to the conference call can drop that caller. Your administrator can configure any Access button on an NBX Business Telephone or the Attendant Console to be a Conference Drop button.



On an NBX Basic Telephone, or on an NBX Business Telephone that does not have a button programmed for Conference Drop: 1 Press the Feature button and 431. 2 The system returns you to the others who are in the conference call.

Setting the Volume

On any NBX Telephone, use the Volume Control buttons to raise or lower the volume.


Ring Volume -- To raise or lower the volume of the ring, press the up or down Volume Control buttons repeatedly while your telephone is ringing, until the volume is at the level that you prefer. Ringer volume is different from ringer tone. See "Ringer Tones" in Chapter 6.

You can listen to and change the sound of the ringing on your telephone in NBX NetSet > Ringer Tones. See Chapter 1 for how to use the NBX NetSet utility.

Guidelines About Features on NBX Telephones



If your telephone does not have a button programmed for Feature, ask your administrator to program one. Your administrator determines whether some of the features that are described in this chapter are available for your telephone or for the entire system, so some of these features may not be available to you. The settings on your telephone, including your extension, personal settings, and system settings, remain the same even when you move your telephone from one Ethernet jack to another, as long as both Ethernet connections are part of the same LAN. Because your extension and personal settings are associated with your telephone, you cannot switch your telephone with another user's telephone without first having your administrator reassociate your profile with the other telephone.







Ringer Tones

To help you to distinguish your telephone's ring from the sound of other phones, use the NBX NetSet utility to select one of nine ringing tones. To change the ringer tone: 1 Verify that your computer has a sound card and speaker. 2 Log in to NBX NetSet > Ringer Tones. 3 Click each of the nine Sample Ringer Tone buttons to hear the choices. 4 From the Ringer Tone Setting pull-down list, select the number of the tone that you want. 5 Click Apply.


Speed Dials

Speed Dials

This section describes the types of speed dials -- personal speed dials and system-wide speed dials, plus the special case for NBX Business Telephones, called One-Touch speed dials. It also describes how you can print a list of speed dials and a set of labels for your telephone, showing which of your buttons are mapped to features and speed dial numbers. You can create a list of up to 99 personal speed dial ID numbers (600 through 699) for any telephone on the NBX system. These speed dials are available only from the telephone for which they were created. You create, view, and print your personal speed dial list using the NBX NetSet utility. You can view and dial a personal speed dial number using the telephone display panel of any NBX Telephone. The first personal speed dial numbers appear on whichever of the Access buttons at the right of your NBX Business Telephone that:

Special Case: One-Touch Speed Dials

(NBX Business Telephones only) In most circumstances, your administrator designates the bottom 3 of the 12 Access buttons at the right of your NBX Business Telephone (item 7 in Figure 2 in Chapter 2) as extension lines to manage incoming and outgoing telephone calls. Any of the remaining 9 buttons that the administrator has not mapped to a feature or system-wide speed dial is available for a One-Touch speed dial. Use either the One-Touch or the Personal speed dial screen to assign or change the One-Touch speed dial numbers on your telephone. If you make a change in one screen, it appears in the other screen. See "Personal Speed Dials" or follow these steps for the One-Touch screen. To add or change a One-Touch speed dial on an available Access button: 1 Log in to NBX NetSet > Speed Dials > One Touch. 2 Any box that has an asterisk in the right margin is available for a personal or system-wide speed dial. In any of the asterisked text boxes under Number, type the telephone number to which you want to assign a speed dial button. Or change the telephone number in a box that already has a speed dial number. Include all of the prefix numbers that you would normally dial, such as a 9 or 8 or 1 to access an outside line, and, if necessary, the country code or area code. Do not use spaces, hyphens, commas, or other nonnumeric characters. 3 In the text box under Description, type a brief comment, usually a name, to help you remember which number you have assigned to this button. 4 After you have made all of your changes to the One-Touch speed dials, click Apply, and then click OK. If you make a change in this screen, the change also appears in the Personal Speed Dials screen. See "Personal Speed Dials" earlier in this chapter.

Off-Site Notification

57

Off-Site Notification

When you enable off-site notification, the NBX Messaging system notifies you that you have received voice mail. You can then retrieve your messages. Off-site notification consists of one cycle of up to five attempts to reach you, one attempt for each Attempt row that you configure in the Off-Site Notification screen. To configure off-site notification for your voice mailbox: 1 In NBX NetSet > NBX Messaging > Off-Site Notification, look for the System and Group columns in the upper right corner. If the columns show "Yes," your system administrator has enabled off-site notification for the NBX system and for the Class of Service group to which your telephone belongs. If "No," ask to have these features enabled. 2 Check Enabled, or, if you want to be notified only about urgent voice mail messages, check Urgent Messages Only. 3 In the first Attempt row, in the Method drop-down list, select Pager, VoiceMail, or EMail The cycle of notice behaviors differs depending on the method that you specify for the first attempt. See the tables at the end of this topic. 4 In the Number/Address field:


If you selected Pager for Method in step 3:


Enter a pager number. Do not use parentheses, hyphens, or spaces. Ask your administrator if you need to include the area code and any other digits that your system needs to dial an outside number (such as 9, 8, 1, or 0). After you receive the pager message, you call in to your voice mailbox to listen to your messages. In the Numeric Page field, indicate what you want the pager to display. Enter a series of digits, such as your telephone extension number. Enter the telephone number at which you want to be notified. Do not use parentheses, hyphens, or spaces. Ask your administrator if you need to include the area code and all other digits that your system needs to dial an outside number (such as 9, 8, 1, or 0). When you choose to be notified by voice mail, the NBX system calls the number that you enter in this field. When you answer the call, the system announces the new voice message and allows you to follow the prompts (or log in to the NBX NetSet utility) to access your voice mailbox and listen to and delete any of your messages.

If you selected EMail for Method in step 2:


Enter the e-mail address at which you want to be notified. You can use different e-mail addresses for different Attempts. You can listen to the messages using your PC sound card.

If you delete the e-mail notice with its attached WAV file after you listen to the message, you delete only the copy. The original voice mail message remains in your NBX voice mailbox. You must log in to the NBX voice mail system by telephone or through the NBX NetSet utility to delete your messages. 5 From the Interval drop-down list box, select the number of minutes that you want the system to wait after each attempt before it moves to the next attempt. The "best" time interval depends on the Attempt method that you choose. For instance, allow sufficient time after a Pager notification for the usual delay at your pager supplier. 6 Click Apply. 7 Repeat steps 2 through 6 to set up additional attempts if you want. The cycle of notice behaviors differs depending on the method that you select for the first attempt. See the tables at the end of this topic. 8 You do not need to configure every Attempt row. When you have configured all of the Attempt rows that you want, click OK. The NBX Messaging tab appears. 9 Test your off-site notification settings by leaving yourself a voice mail message. Additional Notes


You can use the same notification method for all five attempts, or any combination of methods. If your voice mailbox is full and someone tries to leave you a voice mail message, the NBX system does not send you an e-mail notification. When you activate the Telephone Locking feature on your telephone, the NBX system sends you off-site notification messages only if the notification number (for example, your pager number) is a toll-free telephone number. See "Telephone Locking" later in this chapter.

Resetting the Off-Site Notification Cycle When you log in to your voice mailbox and hang up or log off (regardless of whether you listen to or delete messages), you start the off-site notification cycle again. You will be notified about the next message that comes into your voice mailbox. Definitions


Cycle -- One round of Attempt methods 1 through 5. First new voice mail message -- The first voice mail message that arrived at your mailbox since the last time that you logged in to your voice mailbox through a telephone OR through the NBX NetSet utility Reset -- The result of logging in to the NBX NetSet utility as a user.



Do Not Disturb

When the Do Not Disturb feature is enabled, calls coming in to your telephone immediately go to the call coverage point that you set in the NBX NetSet utility. See "Setting Your Call Coverage Point" in Chapter 5. When your telephone is in Do Not Disturb mode:


Your telephone does not ring when it receives an incoming call.

If you use a Business Telephone or an Attendant Console, the associated status light does flash when a call arrives.


You can use the telephone to dial outgoing calls. You can use the telephone to dial internal and external pages. An NBX Business Telephone does not broadcast incoming paging messages over the speaker. If your telephone is part of a call pickup group, the pickup group can retrieve a call that comes telephone. The incoming call goes immediately point (voice mail, auto attendant, or other exte no other telephone in directly in to your to the call coverage nsion).





If your telephone is part of a hunt group, incoming calls to the hunt group ring on your telephone. Calls coming in directly to your telephone (not directed to the hunt group) do not ring on your telephone. To prevent every call from ringing, you must enable Do Not Disturb and also log out of the hunt group.


Preventing Unauthorized Use of Your Telephone

To enable and disable Do Not Disturb using the feature code: 1 Pick up the handset and press Feature + 446. 2 Hang up. Your telephone is now in Do Not Disturb mode. The display panel on an NBX Telephone shows DO NOT DISTURB. 3 To disable Do Not Disturb mode, repeat steps 1 and 2. The DO NOT DISTURB message disappears from the display panel. To view your current Do Not Disturb setting if you do not have an NBX Telephone or if you are away from your desk, log in to NBX NetSet > User Information > Feature Settings.

Preventing Unauthorized Use of Your Telephone

You can prevent others from dialing long-distance or other unauthorized calls from your telephone temporarily with the Telephone Locking feature, or permanently by having your administrator adjust the call permissions schedule for your extension. To enable and disable the Locking feature using the feature code: 1 Pick up the handset and press the Feature button + 432. The display panel on an NBX telephone prompts you to enter your password. 2 Enter your password + # and hang up. Your telephone is now locked. The display panel shows the Lock icon and displays only the directory and system-wide speed dials. 3 To turn off this feature, repeat steps 1 and 2. The Lock icon disappears, and your call logs and personal speed dials are again available. When Telephone Locking is activated, a person using your telephone can dial only toll-free calls, calls to emergency services (such as 911 in the United States), or calls to telephone numbers that have been programmed in your system as "internal" calls. Even when Telephone Locking is active on your telephone, your off-site notification choices remain in effect. Your incoming calls are routed to the outside telephone numbers or paging numbers that you have specified in NBX NetSet > NBX Messaging > Off-Site Notification, even if these numbers are not toll-free. To view your current Telephone Lock setting if you do not have an NBX Telephone or if you are away from your desk, log in to NBX NetSet > User Information > Feature Settings.

Call Permissions

Your administrator establishes Call Permissions to control the types of calls that can be dialed from your telephone. The administrator can configure these permissions to change depending on the time of day. For example, your administrator can prevent long-distance calls from being dialed from your telephone outside of business hours. To view your current call permissions, log in to NBX NetSet > User Information > Call Permissions.

Class of Service Override

The Class of Service Override feature allows you to apply the features of your own NBX telephone temporarily to another NBX telephone on the same local network. Example:


The telephone in a conference room can be configured so that long-distance telephone calls cannot be dialed from it. You may, however, need to place a long-distance call during a meeting. Using the Class of Service Override feature, you can apply the features of your own telephone to the conference room telephone for one call only and dial the call (assuming that your Call Permissions allow you to make long-distance calls from your own telephone).

To activate the one-call-only Class of Service Override from any NBX telephone: 1 Pick up the handset. 2 Press the Feature button and 433. 3 Dial your telephone extension. 4 Dial your voice mailbox password and press #. 5 When you hear the dial tone, you can dial the call in the same way that you do from your own NBX telephone. When you use Class of Service (CoS) Override, any reports that are generated on the NBX system indicate that the CoS features of your own NBX telephone were applied temporarily to the telephone on which you made the call.


Palm Integration

Palm Integration

(NBX 2102-IR Telephone only) -- The infrared port on the front edge of the NBX Model 2102-IR Business Telephone receives infrared signals from a hand-held device running the Palm operating system. You can use your hand-held device to call numbers in its directory and to perform standard NBX Business Telephone operations, such as Forward, Redial, and Transfer. Install the Palm Dialer software (available on the NBX Resource Pack CD) on your hand-held device. See your administrator for details.

Using a Headset

You can use a headset that has a microphone with any NBX telephones. These instructions are for a typical headset and amplifier. You may need to modify some of these instructions for some types of headset or amplifier equipment. To use a headset for all calls: 1 Insert the cord for the headset amplifier into the handset cord's receptacle on the underside of the telephone. 2 Insert the cord for the headset into the headset amplifier and put on the headset. 3 Pick up the phone's handset off the phone and lay it down on your desk. To use either the handset or the headset for each call: 1 Insert the cord for the headset amplifier into the handset cord receptacle on the underside of the telephone. 2 Insert both the headset cord and the handset cord into the headset amplifier. 3 For headset calls: Lift the handset off the telephone and leave it off. Use the headset microphone and earphones. 4 For handset calls: Press the button on the headset amplifier that turns the headset off, pick up the handset, and speak into it. When you use a headset, either the headset or the amplifier is plugged into the handset cord's receptacle on the underside of the telephone. Although the handset may be plugged into the amplifier, you must remove the handset from the cradle to use the headset.

Ending Calls When Using a Headset

To end calls when using a headset with:


An NBX Business Telephone, press the Release button. An NBX Basic Telephone, press the Feature button and 111.

Returning to the Headset After a Long Delay

Certain brands of headsets have a power-saving mode that prevents the telephone from ringing for one or more calls when both of these circumstances are true:


The headset amplifier buttons for Mute and On are both set to On. The handset is off the phone for a long time (for instance, overnight).

It may take a few minutes for your headset to return from the power-saving mode to the active mode when calls first come in, so your telephone may not ring until the headset has returned to active mode, and you may miss a call. If you plan to not use the headset for a long time (for instance, overnight), 3Com recommends that you set the mute and headset buttons on the amplifier to Off and hang up the handset on your telephone. When you are ready to receive calls again, set up the headset for receiving calls: 1 Pick up the handset on your telephone and lay it down on your desk. 2 Put on the headset. On the amplifier, set headset button to On.

Listening to Your Messages in Your E-mail or Browser

You can listen to your voice mail from any computer that allows you to access your e-mail. Your e-mail software application must be IMAP-4 compliant, for instance, Microsoft Outlook. If you configure your first off-site notification method to send you an e-mail message when you have voice messages, the NBX system sends each voice mail message as an attachment to an e-mail message. Voice mail messages are attached as sound files, so your computer must have a sound card and either speakers or headphones. When you delete the e-mail message that has the voice message attached, you are not deleting the voice message on the NBX system. To delete voice messages, you must access your voice mailbox. See your administrator for assistance with this feature. See also "Off-Site Notification" in Chapter 6 for details of off-site notification behavior.

Account (Billing) Codes

The Account Codes feature allows your administrator to track calls that are associated with an individual client or account. When you answer your telephone or when you dial a call, you dial a numeric account code that allows the NBX system to track time spent on the telephone with a client, perhaps to be associated with a billable account. To activate the Account Codes feature at any time before or during a call: 1 Press the Feature button and 888. 2 Dial the account code assigned by your administrator, and press the # key.

Caller ID

Your administrator can set up your NBX system to allow for Internal and External Caller ID and can configure the system so that you can block your identity (telephone number) from the person whom you are calling. By default, the NBX system shows the extension and name of an internal caller on the display panel of your NBX telephone. External Caller ID gives the number and name for external incoming calls if your organization subscribes to the service from your local telephone company unless the caller has blocked the information from being sent to the NBX system. Availability and service charges for External Caller ID vary by location.

Calling Line Identity Restriction (CLIR)

On NBX systems that are configured using T1 lines configured as D1, you may need to or choose to prevent the NBX system from transmitting your Caller ID information to outside parties when you dial a call. This feature is called Calling Line Identity Restriction, or CLIR. You can restrict calls:


For all external (outbound) calls that you dial, or For only the next external (outbound) call that you dial.

Your administrator can configure your system so that CLIR is always active, in which case you cannot change the CLIR settings on your telephone to override this option. CLIR for All External Calls To enable CLIR-All for all calls from your telephone: 1 Pick up the handset, and press the Feature button and 889. The display panel on an NBX Telephone shows CLIR-ALL OFF. 2 Dial the number that you want to call.

Call Pickup

Use the Call Pickup feature to answer a call that is ringing on another telephone. This feature is best arranged in advance when you and another user know that it would be convenient or necessary to answer calls ringing on that user's telephone. You can answer a call that is ringing on another telephone only if you and that user both are members of the same Call Pickup group or if that user is a member of a Call Pickup group that allows "nonmember pickup." To view the list of Call Pickup groups of which you are a member: 1 Log in to NBX NetSet > User Information > Call Pickup. 2 Select the group number that you want to view from the Group List, and click Details to display the list of members of that group. There are two types of Call Pickup, explained next.

Directed Call Pickup

To answer a call that is ringing on another user's telephone using the feature code: 1 Pick up the handset. 2 Press the Feature button followed by 455 and the user's extension. The call is directed to your telephone. To answer a call ringing on another user's telephone using One-Touch Pickup: 1 Pick up the handset and press the Access button that your administrator has assigned to Directed Pickup. 2 Dial the extension number of the telephone that is ringing.

Group Call Pickup

To answer a call that is ringing on a group member's telephone using the feature code: 1 Pick up the handset. 2 Press the Feature button followed by 456 and the group number. The call is directed to your telephone. To answer a call that is ringing on a group member's telephone using One-Touch Pickup: 1 Pick up the handset and press the Access button that your administrator has assigned to Call Pickup. 2 Dial the group number.


Hunt Groups and Calling Groups

Hunt Groups and Calling Groups

Your administrator can establish informal "call centers" so that incoming calls can be directed to several telephones. Calls that come in to your telephone through your extension go to the call coverage point that you have set up. Calls that come in to your telephone through hunt groups and calling groups follow the call coverage path set up by the administrator for that group. Incoming calls ring to one member of the hunt group. If that member's telephone is in use, or if that member does not answer the call, the system "hunts" for another member of the group until the call is answered or is forwarded to the group call coverage point. For example, if there are no available members of the hunt group, the call might be forwarded to a group mailbox or to the receptionist. Figure 4 shows an example of a hunt group configuration.

Call Park

Use Call Park to place a call in a "holding pattern" and make it available for another person to pick up from any telephone on the system. Use the internal paging feature, the external paging feature, or both, to announce the call. The recipient can retrieve the call from any NBX Telephone by dialing the Call Park extension that you give during your announcement. The Call Park feature is useful when:


The recipient is elsewhere in the building You want to continue a call on another telephone (for instance, in a conference room for privacy), and transferring the call does not give you enough time to retrieve it.

When you park a call, you assign it a Call Park extension, which anyone can use to retrieve it. Table 12 lists the factory default Call Park extension numbers. Ask your administrator to verify your Call Park extensions.
Table 12 Factory Default Call Park Extension Numbers
System SuperStack 3 NBX NBX 100 Default Extension Numbers 6000 ­ 6099 601 ­ 609

If the call is not answered within 5 minutes after it is parked, it rings again at the original telephone. Your administrator can modify the length of this waiting period. To park a call: 1 While you are on a call, press the Feature button and 444, or press the Access button assigned to Call Park. 2 Use the telephone key pad to dial a Call Park extension from the list shown in Table 12 or the list of extensions at your location. If you select a Call Park extension that is already in use, the display panel displays Park Cancelled, and the call rings back to your telephone. Try another Call Park extension. 3 To notify another user about the parked call: a From an NBX Business Telephone, select an Access button that is assigned for placing telephone calls, and dial the user's extension, or use the paging feature. See "Paging" next for details.


Paging

b From an NBX Basic Telephone, press the hook switch. When you hear the dial tone, dial the user's extension, or use the paging feature. See "Paging" next for details. To retrieve a parked call: 1 Pick up the handset of any telephone on the system. 2 Dial the Call Park extension that was assigned to the call.

Paging

Depending on your location and equipment, you can broadcast a message in one of three ways, as described in Table 13. 1 Pick up the handset. 2 Dial the paging extension as shown in Table 13). 3 Speak into the NBX Telephone handset and then hang up. Do not press the Feature button before you dial the Paging extension.

Dialing a Call to a Remote Office

You can dial calls between sites that are separated geographically but that are linked by a W ide Area Network (WAN) connection. Typical configurations are described in the next sections. In the sample network shown in Figure 6, each site must have unique telephone extensions. Whenever you make a call to an extension not located at your own site, your NBX system sets up a connection to the appropriate site.

OUR TELEPHONE SYSTEM

In this example, to call a user in Dallas, a user in Chicago dials a Dallas extension (3000 through 3999). The dial plan on the Chicago NBX system sets up the necessary connection to the Dallas NBX system and then to the extension at that site.

Using Site Codes

Your administrator also can configure your telephone system to use site codes for dialing remote offices. Each site may have overlapping telephone extensions. In this example, you dial a site code first, followed by the extension at the site. Your administrator chooses the site codes. For example, as shown in Figure 7, to call someone in Atlanta, a user in Chicago dials the site code 62 and then the extension (1000 through 3999). To reach a user in Dallas, a user in Chicago dials 63 and then the extension (1000 through 3999). The site code prevents conflicts between the remote extension and a duplicated extension at the local site.

Bridged Extensions

75

Bridged Extensions

With a bridged extension, buttons and status lights on one telephone (the primary telephone) are associated with buttons and status lights on another telephone (the secondary telephone). On the primary telephone, you can perform all operations (such as dialing telephone calls, placing calls on hold, forwarding calls, and so on). On the secondary telephone, you can answer calls made to the primary telephone's extension but you cannot make calls using the buttons that are associated with the primary telephone. The administrator can create bridged extensions on:


An NBX Business Telephone with or without the Attendant Console An NBX Basic Telephone if an Attendant Console is associated with it. The bridged extension is created on the associated Attendant Console.

Example: An assistant's job is to answer a manager's telephone calls. The administrator can map the manager's extension on the assistant's telephone. The manager's telephone is the primary telephone, and the assistant's telephone is the secondary telephone. The administrator can map a primary telephone's extension to one or more secondary telephones.

Delayed Ringing

(NBX Business Telephone only) The Delayed Ringing feature keeps your NBX Business Telephone from audibly ringing until the caller has heard a specified number of rings (typically, 4). During the first "silent" rings, the line's status light flashes. This feature works on a single NBX Business Telephone or on "shared" lines, as explained in the examples. Your administrator specifies the number of silent rings in the NBX NetSet utility. The choices are Yes (rings always; default), No (never rings), or 1 through 9 (that is, ringing is delayed for from 1 to 9 rings). Examples:


In a hospital setting where it is important to keep the area as quiet as possible, all station appearances on an NBX Business Telephone at a nurse's station have Delayed Ringing set to 6 rings. The nurse can see from the flashing status light that a call is coming in and pick up the call before it disturbs the patients. A manager and assistant have a shared line by means of a bridged station appearance on NBX Business Telephones. (See "Bridged Extensions" earlier in this chapter.) The administrator can specify Delayed Ringing for the manager's line that is bridged, that is, on the primary telephone. When a call comes in, the manager's status light flashes but the telephone does not ring. The call also comes in on the assistant's telephone (the secondary telephone), where it audibly rings. Because of the flashing status light, the manager knows that a call is coming in and can pick up the call if the assistant is busy or away from the telephone. After the specified number of "delayed" rings, the manager's telephone also begins to ring. In a small business, a single incoming analog line is shared by (mapped to) all three telephones in the store. The administrator can set the line on the manager's telephone to Delayed Ringing and "No." This setting means that the manager's telephone never rings audibly, although the status light flashes. Incoming calls always ring audibly on the other two telephones.





To prevent a call from going to your call coverage point before it rings audibly on the line that has Delayed Ringing set, ask your administrator to set the number of rings for Delayed Ringing to be lower than the number that you have set in the NBX NetSet utility for Call Forwarding.


Pulse Dialing

77

Pulse Dialing

In some locations, analog telephone users must dial telephone calls using pulse dialing instead of tone dialing (also called Dual Tone Multi Frequency, or DTMF, dialing). Your administrator configures Analog Line Card ports for pulse dialing. Examples:


Some of your telephone lines are provided by a telephone company that supports only pulse dialing while other lines are provided by a different telephone company that support DTMF dialing. Your organization's telephone service provider offers low-cost, pulse-dialing-only service. In some situations, you must switch example, if your call is answered by requires that you enter information must typically enter the information to DTMF dialing during a call. For an automated attendant that from your telephone keypad, you using DTMF dialing.





Using a Feature Code

To change from pulse dialing to DTMF during a call: 1 Press the Feature button and 891. 2 Your connection is switched from pulse to tone (DTMF) for the remainder of the call. When you hang up, the port you were using on the Analog Line Card reverts to pulse dialing mode.

Using a Mapped Button

Your administrator can map a button on your telephone so that you can press the button to change from pulse dialing to DTMF during a call. When you hang up, the port you were using on the Analog Line Card reverts to pulse dialing mode. You can configure a personal speed dial in the NBX NetSet utility to dial a number in pulse dial mode and then to switch to DTMF. Use the left carat character (<) as the command to switch to DTMF mode. You can also include the digits that you want the system to dial after switching to DTMF. The system dials any digits after the < using DTMF tones. When you hang up, the port you were using on the Analog Line Card reverts to pulse dialing mode. For additional information about programming speed dials, see "Personal Speed Dials" in Chapter 6.
