INTER-TEL

Introduction

The Inter-Tel 5000 Network Communications Solutions platform provides many user-friendly
features. To describe the system features, this chapter has been divided into the following sec-

Access to the Features

Inter-Tel endpoints have feature buttons that allow one-button dialing of feature codes. Infor-
mation is programmed in the database to determine the arrangement of the feature buttons and
their default values. If desired, some of the endpoint feature buttons can be designated as user-
programmable buttons. See

Special Button and Hookflash

Depending on the feature and system programming, users can either enter feature codes imme-
diately after lifting the handset or while on-hook, or they must signal the system before enter-
ing the feature code. Inter-Tel endpoint users signal the system by pressing the Special button
(which is represented by
hookflash (press and release the hookswitch quickly). If the user does not enter a code or begin
dialing before the Dial Initiation timer expires, the system sends reorder tones.

Message Lamp

Inter-Tel IP endpoints have a Message Lamp located on the upper, right-hand corner. This lamp
is programmable and is defaulted to the Message feature code (365). If you change the feature
code associated with this lamp, it flashes when the feature is active. For example, if you pro-
gram the lamp for Individual Hold (336), the lamp flashes when a call is held at the endpoint.
