Chapter 1. Introduction

This guide is for 9600 Series telephones supported by an Avaya IP Office telephone system running in IP Office Essential Edition, Preferred Edition, Advanced Edition, or Server Edition mode.

1.10 Button Modules

The addition of a button module allows the phone to support additional programmable buttons.

  • Do not connect or disconnect a button module yourself. Your system administrator will arrange this if necessary. Failure to connect and restart the equipment in the correct order may cause the phone and or the button module to function incorrectly.

9608 and 9641 Phones

These phones support BM12 button modules. Each button module provides the phone with an additional 24 buttons (2 pages of 12) which can be used as appearance buttons and or feature buttons. For IP Office Release 9.0, this phone can also support SBM24 modules instead (see below) but not a mix of different module types.

Up to three button modules can be attached to each phone. However, the number of button modules supported by the telephone system may be limited by the total number of button modules attached to other phones on the telephone system.

9630, 9640, and 9650 Phones

All variants of these phones support SBM24 button modules. Each button module provides the phone with an additional 24 buttons which can be used as appearance buttons and or feature buttons. Up to three button modules can be attached to each phone. However, the number of button modules supported by the telephone system may be limited by the total number of button modules attached to other phones on the telephone system.

9620 Phones and 9621 Phones

These phones do not support any additional button modules.

1.11 Phone Keys

The following keys are found on the phone:

  • Soft Keys – The keys below the display have variable functions. When the key is active, its function is indicated by the text label above it. On touch screen phones the labels on the screen can be pressed.
  • Message – This key is used to access your voicemail system. By default, this uses a series of menus on your phone’s display.
  • Navigation Keys – Press the up and down arrow keys to scroll through lists. In some menus, you can also use the left and right arrow keys to enter and exit different levels of the menu. A menu option that accesses a sub-menu is indicated by the … dots (ellipsis) icon after its name.
  • OK – The OK key normally matches the function offered by the leftmost soft key below the screen.
  • PHONE – This key is used to exit any menu you are in and return to the appearance buttons menu. During a call it can also be used to toggle the options displayed on the appearance menu.
  • MENU/HOME – This key is used to access a menu for phone settings and information.
  • CONTACTS – This key is used to display the various directories (personal and shared) of names and telephone numbers to which you have access.
  • CALL LOG / HISTORY – This key displays a record of your most recent calls (answered, missed, and outgoing). The button is illuminated when you have new missed calls.
  • VOLUME – Press + plus or – minus on the Volume key to adjust the volume of the incoming call. Separate volumes can be adjusted for the ringer, handset, headset, and speaker.
  • HEADSET – This key is used to answer and end calls using a headset connected to the phone’s headset socket. The button is lit when you are connected to a call using the headset.
  • MUTE – This key can be used to mute your speech to the currently connected call. The button is lit while mute is active.
  • SPEAKER – This key is used to answer and end calls using the phone’s handsfree speaker and microphone. The button is lit when you are connected to a call handsfree.
  • FORWARD – This button provides direct access to the forwarding menu options. This button is not present on the 9620 and 9650 models.
  • Appearance Keys – These buttons represent calls that you can make or receive.
  • Feature Buttons – Those keys not configured as appearance keys can be used for other functions. On touch screen phones, these buttons are replaced by their text labels on the screen.
  • The CONFERENCE, DROP, HOLD, REDIAL and TRANSFER keys found on other Avaya phones are presented as a soft key functions relative to the current call.

1.12 Status Letters

When your own extension name is shown on the second line of the display, for example when the phone is idle, the name may be followed by a series of letters. These letters are used to indicate your current status.

  • B = Barred
    A B is shown on your phone’s display when the system administrator has prohibited you from making outgoing calls. You will only be able to make internal calls when your status is set to Barred.
  • D = Diverting (Forwarding) Calls
    A D is shown after your extension name on the phone’s idle display when you have ‘forward unconditional’
    enabled.
  • G = Group Member (In Group)
    A G is shown after your extension name on the phone’s idle display when you have been configured as a member of a hunt group and your membership is enabled. With this status active, you may receive calls targeted to the hunt group.
  • N = No Calls (Do Not Disturb)
    An N is shown after your extension name on the phone’s idle display when you have ‘do not disturb’ enabled.
  • O = Out of Service
    When a group is set tonight service mode, all members of that group retain an ‘out of service’ status indicated by an O on the idle display. Calls are diverted to the group’s fallback if set. Otherwise, the calls are sent to voicemail (if available).
  • R = Resilience
    An R is shown after your extension name on the phone’s idle display to indicate that your phone is working in resilience mode. This is used when there may have been a problem with the telephone system to which your phone was registered and another system is currently providing support for your phone. In this mode, some features may not be available and calls may be routed differently.
  • S = System Alarm
    If you are configured as a system administrator, an S in the phone’s display indicates a system alarm.
  • T = Twinned
    A T is shown after your extension name on the phone’s idle display if it is internally twinned with your phone. Calls to you will alert on both phones and can be answered by you at either phone.

1.13 Touch Screen Operation

The 9621 and 9641 phones use touch-sensitive screens to replace many of the buttons required on other phones. These are pressure sensitive and can be operated with either your finger(s) or a stylus. However, you must take care not to use any device that may scratch or cause wear to the screen.

Unlike other phones in the range (where you need to highlight an option on the screen using the arrow keys and then select that option using the Select soft key), on a touch screen, you can simply press the required option directly.

1.14 The Phone Stand

The phones all include a stand that clips to the base of the phone. The stand allows the phone to be used in either of two
different angles.

When changing the position of the stand, be sure to check that the stand has locked into the chosen position. A small plastic peg is located just under the phone’s handset. This peg can be reversed to more securely anchor the handset when the stand places the phone in an upright position.

9608 Phones

The stand cannot be flipped to another position except by removing it to change the position. The angle of the display is not adjustable on these phones.

Other 9600 Phones

Once attached, the stand can be used in either position to change the angle of the phone. The angle of the phone can also be adjusted as shown below. The angle of the display can also be adjusted.

Chapter 2. Making Calls

If you are not already on a call, then you can just dial the number. The first available appearance button will be used for the call. Alternatively, you can press a specific appearance button in order to make a call using that button.

If the number you dial matches a user or group on the telephone system, the directory name of the user or group is shown and the call starts altering the target.

If the call is to a user, and they do not answer, you can set a callback by pressing CallBack and then ending the call by pressing Drop. When a callback is set, the next time a user uses their phone or ends their current call, the system will call you, and when you answer, automatically make another call to the user.

2.1 En-Bloc Dialing

By default, when you start dialing a number on your phone, the phone immediately connects to the telephone system and starts passing the digits you dial to the phone system. You cannot correct the digits you have already dialed except by ending the call and starting over. Also, if you pause dialing for too long the phone system may think that you have finished dialing and will attempt to connect the call using only the digits you had dialed up to that point.

En-bloc dialing allows you to compose and edit the number to dial on your phone’s display before it is sent to the phone system to be dialed.

Through the phone’s menus, you can select whether you want to use traditional or en-bloc dialing when making calls. Your chosen setting is then applied whenever you use a phone that supports en-bloc dialing.

Dialing a Number Using En-Bloc Mode

  • With no connected call on the phone, start dialing. Do not lift the handset or select headset or speaker before dialing.
  • You can use the left arrow key or the Bksp key to delete the previous digit dialed if you need to correct the number or press Clear to erase the whole number.
  • When you have completed the number, you can select how you want to make the call:
  • Lift the handset to make a call using the handset.
  • Press the Call soft key or OK button to start the call using the phone’s default handsfree audio path (speaker or headset). You can also press one of your idle call appearance buttons to make the call using that appearance.
  • Press the Headset button to start the call on a headset connected to your phone.
  • Press the Speaker button to start the call on your phone’s handsfree speaker.

Enabling/Disabling En-Bloc Dialing

You can enable or disable your en-bloc dialing setting through the phone’s Features menu.

  • Press the Features soft key if shown. To do this during a call, press the PHONE key and then press the Features soft key.
  • Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight Call Settings. Press Select.
  • Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight En-Bloc Dial.
  • Use the Change button to select On or Off.

2.2 Call Soft Key Options

  • Answer
    Answer a page call, turning it into a normal call.

  • Redial
    If there are outgoing numbers in your call log, display the list of those numbers.
  • Transfer
    Put your current call on hold and present a dial tone for you to dial the number to which you want to transfer the call.
  • ToVM
    Send an alerting call to your voicemail.

2.3 Calling From the Contacts List

If the dialing short code or the paging button has been pre-configured with a number, the user or group at that number will be paged if available. The dialing shortcode can be configured to accept the number of the user or group to the page when dialed. Similarly, a paging button can be set to allow number entry when pressed as follows:

  1. Press the paging button.
  2. Dial the number of the user or group you want to page.
  3. When the dialing is completed, the page call is made.
  • If the destination is a user and they already have a call connected, they cannot be paged. If the destination is a group which is not in service or has no available members, it cannot be paged.

Feature Button
If enabled by your system administrator, the self-administer function can be used to assign a feature button as a page button using the Group Paging action.

2.7 Withholding Your Number

Chapter 4.Redialing

The phone’s redial operation can work in either of the following modes:

  • Open Call Log
    If this mode is selected, pressing Redial will display a menu of the most recent outgoing calls in your call log. You can select the call that you want to redial and perform a number of other functions.
  • Last Dialed
    If this mode is selected, pressing Redial will immediately repeat the most recent outgoing call in your call log. None of the other redial functions will be accessible.

You can select the redial mode that the phone uses. In either case, the redial function uses the outgoing call records in your personal call log. If you delete the records in your call log, redial will not work until new outgoing call records exist in your personal call log.

Note
Use of a centralized call log can be switched off by the system administrator. In that case the numbers used for the redial function are stored by the phone. This guide only covers redial using outgoing call records in the user’s centralized call log.

Chapter 5. Holding and Parking Calls

5.1 Holding Calls

You can hold one or more calls.

  • The held call will still occupy the appearance button on which it was made or answered.
  • The caller will hear music on hold. If your system does not have music on hold available, the caller will hear double beep tones every few seconds.
  • If you have more than one held call, or one held call and a connected call, pressing the Conference soft key will start a conference between yourself and the calls.

Calls that you have held will return to your phone (when idle) if they remain on hold for too long. The default return delay is 15 seconds. Your hold recall can be changed by the system administrator. Returning calls ignore any forwarding or do not disturb settings.

Important – Holding Conference Calls

You can hold a conference call in the same way as holding a normal call. Holding the conference call does not affect the other conference parties who can continue talking. You will also still be listed as a member of the conference call in the conference details.

Warning: This only applies to conference calls hosted by your own telephone system. Holding your call to a conference hosted on another telephone system may cause that conference to hear your system’s music on hold.

5.1.1 Holding a Call

  1. To put your current call on hold, press the Hold soft key or the call’s appearance button.
  2. The held call will be indicated by its call appearance button with a fast-flashing green lamp. On phones with only a single call appearance button (or icon), the phone displays “On-Hold” before the call information on the call’s application line.
  3. While held, the caller will hear music on hold. If your system does not have music on hold available, the caller will hear double beep tones every few seconds.
  4. You can scroll the display using the up and down arrow keys. The held call will appear with a icon.

5.1.2 Taking a Call Off Hold

Either of the following methods can be used to retrieve a call from hold. If you have a currently connected call, that call will be automatically put on hold.

  1. Press the appearance button with the fast-flashing red lamp call appearance.
  2. Scroll the display using the up and down arrow keys, the held call will appear with a icon. Press the Connect soft key to take the call off hold.

5.1.3 Switching Between Calls

With a call on hold (fast-flashing appearance button) and another call connected (red call appearance button), you can switch between calls by pressing the appearance button of the held call. The current call is automatically put on hold and the previously held call is connected.

When you place a call on hold in order to make a transfer, the call is considered ‘on hold pending transfer’ and is indicated by fast-flashing red and green appearance buttons. On phones with only a single appearance button (or icon), the phone displays “On-Hold-Xfer” before the call information on the call’s application line.

5.1.4 Transferring a Held Call

There are various call transfer scenarios to consider:

  1. If you have multiple calls on hold and you want to transfer a connected call to one of the held calls:
  • Press the Transfer soft key and use the up and down arrow keys to select the desired call appearance. When you are satisfied, press Complete to transfer the call while the other held call(s) remain on hold.
  1. If you have calls on hold but you want to connect your current call with a new destination:
  • Press the Transfer soft key and enter the destination manually using the numerical keypad and press Complete. Alternatively, press Dir to select a destination from the directory or use the Redial option, if applicable.
  1. If you have a destination call connected but you wish to refer back to the originating call before completing the transfer:
  • Do NOT press Complete to transfer the destination call as in scenario #2. Select the originating call (‘on hold pending transfer’) by pressing its call appearance button. This will place the destination call ‘on hold pending transfer’ so that you can notify the originating caller. With the originating call connected, you can now press Complete to connect the two calls. Held calls that are not pending transfer will not be affected. Moreover, it is not possible to have more than one call ‘on hold pending transfer.’

Note
It is also possible to transfer a held call by starting a conference and then dropping yourself from that conference. However, if you are the only internal user in the conference, depending on your telephone system’s configuration, dropping yourself might end the conference.

5.2 Parking Calls

Parking a call is similar to holding a call. However, parked calls can be unparked by other users on the phone system. Each parked call is given a number. By default, the number is your extension number plus a digit.

Calls that you park return to your phone (when idle) if they remain parked for too long. The default return delay is five minutes. This is a system delay that is applied to all users and can be changed by the system administrator. Returning calls ignore any forwarding or do not disturb settings.

A feature button set to the Call Park action can be used to park and unpark calls and to indicate parked calls.

Default Short Codes

Shortcodes are numbers that you can dial to enable and disable various features. The following are default shortcodes that may be available. However, your system administrator can remove and change the shortcodes available to you or all users.

  • Park Call: 37N#
    Parks the held call using the park number dialed in place of N.
  • Unpark Call: 38N#
    Unpark the call parked using the park number N.


5.2.1 Parking Calls Using the Menu

Press the Features soft key if shown. To do this during a call, press the PHONE key and then press the Features soft key.
Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight Call Park or Call Park To Other.

  • Call Park
    Park the call on the system with parked call indication on your extension.
  • Call Park To Other
    Park the call on the system with parked call indication on the selected extension.

5.2.2 Unparking Calls (Status Menu)

Call History

This menu is accessed by pressing the HISTORY key. The call log you see is a call log stored on the telephone system. If you log in at another phone that also stores a call log, your call history moves with you.

Your call history contains your most recent answered calls, the most recent calls you made and the most recent missed calls. If configured by the system administrator, it can also include the most recent calls missed by each hunt group of which you are a member.

  • Making a Call
  • Viewing Call Details
  • Deleting a Record
  • Deleting All Records
  • Add a Record to Your Contacts


Missed Calls

Missed calls are calls to you that you did not answer. Your system administrator can also configure whether or not the log includes calls presented to you but are answered by someone else or by voicemail.

The History button is illuminated when you have any new missed calls in your call log. The lamp is extinguished when you have viewed the missed call in the call log or the record of that call is no longer in your call log.

The icon is also used at the top left of the phone display to indicate missed calls and is prefixed with the number of missed calls.

Missed Group Call

If you are a member of any hunt groups, the system administrator can configure whether your missed calls log should also include missed hunt groups calls. The hunt group does not necessarily have to have rung at your phone. It will be recorded as missed if it was presented to the hunt group and not answered by any of the members including you.

Notes
A centralized call log can be turned off by the system administrator. In that case, the call log is stored by the phone and is lost if the phone is reset. This guide only covers the centralized call log stored by the telephone system.
The call log on other types of phones is a local call log maintained by that phone. It will not move with you when you hot desk and it will be lost if the phone is restarted.
The redial function uses the outgoing call records stored in the call log.

  • Log In
    You can log in at any phone that you want to use. All your calls are then redirected to that phone and your user settings are applied to calls made and received. If it is a phone that stores your contacts and call history on the system, your contacts and call log are displayed by the phone.
    Any other existing user of that phone is logged out while you are logged in.
    If you were logged in on another phone, you are logged out from it.
    If your phone system is in a Small Community Network (SCN) of phone systems, it may be possible to log in at extensions located on other phone systems in the network. Your system administrator will advise you if you can ‘remote hot desk’ and what features will still be available to you when you do.
  • Log Out
    When you log out from a phone, or are logged out by another user logging in, the telephone system may apply several actions:
    If you have a normal default extension and no one else is logged in there, you return to being logged in on that phone.
    If you remain logged out, you are treated the same as being on ‘do not disturb’ except that all calls to you go to voicemail instead, if available.
    If you have a mobile twinned number, the system administrator can configure the system so that calls are still presented to your mobile twin while you are logged out.
  • Lock/Unlock
    Separately from logging in and out, you can lock your phone settings. While locked, the phone can still be used to answer your calls and can be used to make internal and emergency calls. However it cannot be used to make external calls and your user settings cannot be accessed through the phones menus.
    You can set your phone to automatically lock itself after a period of inactivity.
  • Default Extension
    Each extension can be configured with a default user. If you are logged off from an extension, the system will automatically log you in at your default extension if it is not in use by another user.
  • Login Idle Period
    Your system administrator can configure a timeout which will automatically log you out if you do not use the phone in that time to make or answer a call.

    Set the follow me destination from the phone that you want to use.
  • Forward
    Forward calls to an internal or external number.

Twinning is a process whereby your calls ring on two phones. Twinning is only available if configured by your system administrator.

Internal Twinning

This method of twinning twins your normal phone with another internal phone. Your incoming calls will ring on both phones. You can also make your calls from either extension.

A typical example for internal twinning would be a user who uses both a normal desk phone and also needs a mobile phone while moving around the building.

Your settings are applied to both phones. Similarly, message waiting indication and voicemail access from either phone will be to your mailbox.

If both phones are phones that store your contacts and call history on the system, the contacts and call history on each will be the same.

  • T = Twinned
    A T is shown after your extension name on the phone’s idle display if it is internally twinned with your phone. Calls to you will alert on both phones and can be answered by you at either phone.

Mobile Twinning

Mobile twinning allows your calls to ring at both your phone’s and at another phone’s number, which can include an external number. If you have been configured as a mobile twinning user, you can switch the use of mobile twinning on or off through the phone’s menus and can also change the number to which you are twinned.

Chapter 15. Groups

Your system administrator can include you as a member of a group along with other users. Each group has its own extension number which can be used as the destination for a call.

When a call is made to a group, it is presented to the available group members, either one at a time or all at the same time, until answered by one of the members.

How long a group call will ring at each group member before being presented to the next member is controlled by the group’s own settings. Hunt groups also use voicemail and have their own settings for when an unanswered call should go to the group’s mailbox. For group calls, the hunt group’s voicemail settings are used rather than your settings.

The system administrator can enable a number of hunt group menu options on your phone. Each option is enabled for a selected hunt group or hunt groups of which you are a member:

  • Enable/Disable Your Group Membership
    When your membership of a hunt group is disabled, you no longer receive hunt group calls for that group. You are still a member of the group and can re-enable your membership.

21.9 Debug Mode

This topic is tagged for 9600 Series phones only.

In addition to backing up and restoring phone information, it is possible to enter a debug/troubleshooting mode on the 9608, 9611, 9621, and 9641 phones. In Debug Mode, you can save all applicable debug data in a file named nnn_report.gz, where nnn is replaced by the telephone extension, and then send that file to an appropriate server configured by your system administrator. You may wish to send a debug report for any of the following known issues:

  • Phone resetting
  • Phone going blank
  • Sometimes the phone goes to speaker (and other such issues that require manually resetting the phone)
  • Phone faces noise/distortion at the IPO user level (this tends to happen when a user slightly raise his/her voice)
  • Lag in displaying Caller ID when on primary Call Appearance
  • Freezing of phone (and other such unresponsive lock-ups)
  • Contact list import via USB
  • Color contrasts
  • Speakerphone quality

Enabling/Disabling Debug Mode

  1. While the phone is on-hook and idle, press the following sequence: MUTE 2 7 2 3 8 # (MUTE C R A F T #).
  2. Scroll down and select DEBUG. The Debug Mode menu appears.
  3. The first item in the list is “Debug Mode.” As the Status Line indicates, press the Change soft key to change the setting of Debug Mode “On” or “Off.” Once a change has been made, the Save soft key appears.
  4. Press Save to save the setting, or Cancel to return the setting to its previous state. You return to the previous menu.

Note: The option “Send report to server” is not available if the value of BRURI is null or begins with any character sequence other than “http://” or “https://”. See your administrator for more information.
  4. If the file saves successfully, the Status Line on the display reads “Backup successful” for five (5) seconds or until the user takes any action on the telephone. If the debug report file cannot be saved, for whatever reason (for example, the server is not available or refuses request), the Status Line reads “Backup failed” for five (5) seconds or until the user takes any action on the telephone.
  5. Pressing either the Send or Save soft keys will return you to the previous menu. However, when you press Save the telephone will conduct a reset.

Chapter 22. Menus

22. Menus

22.1 Menu Access Control

Some menu options are dynamic and only appear when appropriate. For example, the Features menu cannot be accessed when the phone is locked. Access to other menu options is controlled by your system administrator. They can set system-wide rules for which options phone users can access. They can also set specific rules for each phone user.

Even if you are restricted from accessing an option, it may still be applied to you by your system administrator. For example, the system administrator may configure call forwarding settings for you.

The system administrator can control your menu access to the following groups of functions:

  • Basic Call Functions: Controls whether you can access the phone’s menu options for call pickup, park, unpark and transfer to mobile
    functions.
  • Advanced Call Functions: Controls whether you can access the phone’s menu options for do not disturb, account code, withhold number and internal auto-answer functions. In addition, the Account Code menu is only shown if the system has been configured with accounts codes.
  • Forwarding Functions: Controls whether you can access the phone’s menu options for forwarding and follow me functions.
  • Hot Desk Functions: Controls whether you can access the menu options for logging in and out.
  • Passcode Change: Controls whether you can change your login code (security credentials).
  • Phone Lock: Controls whether you can access the menu options for locking the phone and for setting it to automatically lock.
  • Self Administration: Controls whether you can access the Self-Administration menu option.
  • Voicemail Controls: Controls whether you can access the Visual Voice option through the phone’s Features menu. Your system administrator can also disable the Messages button from accessing the visual voice menus.
  • Group Controls: The system administrator is able to configure if you can access the Membership, State and Fallback options of a group. If you are not configured for any groups then the Group menu is not shown.
  • Mobility Controls: The Mobile Twinning options are only shown if you have been configured to use mobile twinning.

Menus: Menu Access Control

  • System Administration Controls
    The System Admin option is only shown if you have been configured as a ‘System Phone’ user.

Note that restricting menu access does not restrict access using available shortcodes and programmable buttons. However, those can also be removed or added by your system administrator.
