Endpoint Connectors The Model 8600 endpoint has a jack located on the back of the endpoint used to con- nect a handset or headset. In addition to the handset/headset jack, the Model 8600 has a LAN connector required for an IP endpoint. Two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the LAN/Power jack indicate link status and the speed of the connection.
Software and Firmware Updates Your endpoint comes pre-installed with Inter-Tel-provided firmware that allows it to communicate with the telephone system. Firmware is software that is embedded in a hardware device (e.g., your endpoint) that allows it to operate. Endpoints may require updates when a new version of software or firmware is available.
BOUT OICE Voice mail is an application that is part of the Inter-Tel voice processing system. Using voice mail, you and other callers can send and receive recorded messages from any supported endpoint on the system. To use voice mail features, each user (or sub- scriber) is assigned a mailbox, which usually corresponds to the extension number assigned to your endpoint.
