Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 INTRODUCTION Each Inter-Tel Axxess hardware cabinet houses a power supply unit and up to seven circuit cards. Together, the circuit cards perform the switching activities for the system, detect incom- ing calls, process data-controlled features, and control the interaction of station instruments, trunks, intercom calls, and voice processing system applications.
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 STATION INSTRUMENTS To allow system flexibility and cost efficiency, a variety of Inter-Tel and industry-standard third-party station instruments can be used on the Inter-Tel telephone system, including the fol- lowing endpoints: •...
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 System software will support any configuration of station instruments with the limitation that there must be a minimum of one Keyset Card.

When the endpoint is not in use, the LCD shows the station extension number, username, time of day, and date.
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 Keymaps A keymap group determines the layout of the buttons (or keys) for all the stations assigned to that group. If any of the buttons in the keymap group are user-programmable or undefined, they can be changed by the station user.

System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 • DSS/BLF Button: A DSS/BLF button will dial the associated extension number when pressed. If assigned to a button with a lamp, it will also show the status of the associ- ated station, as described for DSS/BLF Units on page 40.
Page 101
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 • Trunk Group Button: These buttons are associated with specific trunk group access codes and are used for placing outgoing calls on trunks in the selected trunk group.

System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 Default Inter-Tel Endpoint Feature Buttons When the system is in the default state, all endpoints are in the same keymap group and have the following feature buttons. Feature code descriptions start on page 117.
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 Secondary Extension Appearances The Secondary Extension Appearances feature allows calls ringing or on individual hold at one “primary” station to appear on a “secondary extension button” at another station. For example, a secretary or assistant can have a secondary extension button for a supervisor’s station, or one station can have several secondary extension buttons, each associated with a different primary station.
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 Normally, the secondary extension button will not show intercom calls. However, if the pri- mary station does not have an IC button, intercom calls will appear under a Call button and, therefore, will appear on the secondary extension button.

System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 If an extension number is dialed and that station is in Do-Not-Disturb, the user will hear Do- Not-Disturb tone through the data device’s speaker (if it has one). Whenever continuous busy, reorder, or Do-Not-Disturb tone is sent by the system, the Inactivity Alarm timer is registered.
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 Termination of a data call may be accomplished in one of three ways: • Your data device can hang up. This causes the trunk or intercom channel to be released, terminating the call to the other data device.
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 There can be as many Desktop Interface devices on the system as there are Model 8560, Model 8520, Executive Display, Professional Display, Standard Display, and Associate Display end- point circuits.
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 SINGLE-LINE SETS Industry-standard, single-line DTMF sets can be installed on the system and/or used as an off- premises extension (OPX). On-premises single-line circuits can be used for installing AC-ring- ing single-line sets, playback devices, and other single-line devices.
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 Single-Line Ring Zones and Extended Ring Cadences In some installations, where more than one single-line device is connected in series to an SLC or SLC-16 circuit, zoned ringing may be necessary. The system can support devices with up to 3 Ringer Equivalences (REs) per circuit.
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 Off-Premises Extensions (OPX) Off-premises extensions are remote single-line DTMF sets that are connected to the Inter-Tel system through telephone company OPX circuits (or customer-provided circuits). Off-premises station users gain access to the features by performing a hookflash/recall (press- ing and releasing the hookswitch quickly) and entering feature codes.
System Hardware ® ® Inter-Tel Axxess Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008 MINI-DSS UNITS Version 7.0 and later software supports a Mini-DSS that has 16 user-programmable buttons.
