MANAGING CALLS ADVANCED FEATURES

In addition to performing the regular functions of placing calls and answering
calls, your phone supports several other advanced functions. If you use any of
these features on a regular basis, you may benefit by having your system
administrator assign the desired function to the custom keys on your phone.

Programmable Custom Buttons

The phone has three custom buttons that can be programmed with different
functions. The system administrator can configure the custom buttons via
ShoreWare Director on behalf of a user or can enable permissions for an
individual user so that the user can modify the custom buttons on the IP
phone via the telephone interface.
NOTE IP phone users can only program Call Appearance or Dial Number

(Speed Dial) from their telephone interface.

The list below contains the different functions that can be assigned to the
buttons of a phone, allowing you to create shortcuts for operations that would
normally require pressing two or three buttons.
Barge In Barge In allows users with proper permission to enter into an
existing call. This feature is useful for certain users including operators,
executive assistants, trainers, and ACD supervisors that must enter calls
for important business reasons. A custom key can be programmed to
invoke the barge in feature as well as optionally include a specific
extension for quick, one-touch feature operation. If you need this
feature, please review with your system administrator.
Bridged Call Appearance Bridged Call Appearances shares call
appearance information across many separate IP phones, offering the
benefit of faster call handling between users. The feature is intended for
key system environments (small offices or branch offices), such as an
auto dealership or small bank with 4 trunks and 8 IP phones. Please refer
to Bridged Call Appearances on page 33 for more information about
managing calls using Bridged Call Appearances.
Call Appearance Call appearance represents a phone call on your
extension. Please refer to Answering Additional Calls on page 14 for
more information about managing calls on your extension.
Conference Blind The ShoreTel system allows you to conference up to
three parties (six depending on configuration) without having to consult
with each new party before they enter the conference call. Please see
Making a Conference Call on page 15 for more information.
Conference Consultative The ShoreTel system allows you to
conference up to three parties (six depending on configuration) allowing
you to consult with each new party before they enter the conference call.
Please see Making a Conference Call on page 15 for more information.
Conference Intercom The ShoreTel system allows you to conference up
to three parties (six depending on configuration) allowing you to consult
using the intercom with each new party before they enter the conference
30

call. Please see section Making a Conference Call on page 15 for more
information.
Dial Mailbox The ShoreTel system allows you to call another user's
mailbox without ringing their phone. If you use this feature often,
contact your system administrator about programming a custom key. A
custom key can be programmed to invoke the dial mailbox feature as
well as optionally include a specific mailbox for quick, one-touch feature
operation.
Dial Number (Speed Dial) The ShoreTel system allows you to program
custom keys on your phone for speed dial, allowing you to dial an
extension or an external number with one touch.
Intercom The ShoreTel system allows users with the proper permission
to intercom other users on the system. When you intercom another user,
instead of their phone ringing, the called party will hear a tone then you
will be connected to their speakerphone. The dialed user must be using a
ShoreTel IP phone for proper operation. In addition to the fixed function
key, a custom key can be programmed to invoke the intercom feature
with a specific extension for quick, one-touch feature operation. Please
see Using the Intercom on page 15 for more information.
Monitor Extension The ShoreTel system allows users with proper
permission to monitor the extension of another user. This helps manage
incoming calls for that extension, and it also serves as a shortcut when
performing one of the following functions: dialing that extension,
transfer, conference, call parking, call pickup and intercom to that
extension. Please see Extension Monitoring on page 34 for more
information.
Page The ShoreTel system allows users with proper permission to
access the overhead paging system (or page a group of ShoreTel IP
phones), dial the number given by the system administrator, wait for the
confirmation tone, and then begin speaking. The message will be
broadcast over the on-site loudspeaker or through the speakers of the IP
phones. Please see Overhead Paging on page 36 and Using Group
Paging on page 36 for more information.
Park The ShoreTel system allows users to park a connected call on
another extension. Please see Parking and Unparking Calls on page 37
for more information.
Park and Page This also allows a user to park a call and simultaneously
do an overhead page.
Pickup The ShoreTel system allows users with proper permission to
pick up a ringing extension.
Pickup Night Bell The ShoreTel system allows calls to route to an
extension that will ring on an overhead speaker. This feature can be
convenient for off-hours when a caller needs to speak with anyone at a
site.
Pickup/Unpark The ShoreTel system allows users to park a connected
call on another extension, or unpark the call after it has been parked.
Please see Parking and Unparking Calls on page 37 for more
information.
31

 Record Call The ShoreTel system allows users with proper permission
to record active calls they are currently on. This feature is useful for
certain users including writers, interviewers, sales people, lawyers that
must record calls for important business reasons. A custom key can be
programmed to invoke the record feature for quick, one-touch feature
operation. If you need this feature, please review with your system
administrator.
Record Extension The ShoreTel system allows users with proper
permission to record an active call on another extension. This feature is
useful for certain users including ACD supervisors that must record calls
for important business reasons. A custom key can be programmed to
invoke the record feature as well as optionally include a specific
extension for quick, one-touch feature operation. If you need this
feature, please review with your system administrator.
Send Digits Over Call The ShoreTel system allows users to send a
preconfigured set of DTMF tones out a trunk during a call. This feature is
useful to quickly navigate external IVR systems as well as external
systems requiring an account code. A custom key can be programmed to
invoke the send digits feature as well as include desired digits to be sent
for quick, one-touch feature operation. If you need this feature, please
review with your system administrator.
Silent Monitor The ShoreTel system allows users with proper
permission to silently monitor a call on another extension. This feature is
useful for certain users including ACD supervisors that must monitor
calls for important business reasons. A custom key can be programmed
to invoke the silent monitor feature as well as optionally include a
specific extension for quick, one-touch feature operation. If you need
this feature, please review with your system administrator.
Transfer Blind The ShoreTel system allows you to transfer a call to
another party without having to consult with that party before
completing the transfer. Please see Transferring a Call on page 14 for
more information.
Transfer Consultative The ShoreTel system allows you to transfer a call
to another party allowing you to consult with that party before
completing the transfer. Please see Transferring a Call on page 14 for
more information.
Transfer Intercom The ShoreTel system allows you to transfer a call to
another party allowing you to consult with that party using intercom
before completing the transfer. Please see Transferring a Call on
page 14 for more information.
Transfer to Mailbox The ShoreTel system allows you to transfer a call
directly to another party's mailbox. Please see Diverting a Call on
page 14 for more information.
Transfer Whisper The ShoreTel system allows a user with the proper
permission to break into an active call and communicate with one party
without the other party hearing the second ongoing conversation. In this
way, the user can consult with the other party before transferring the call
to him or her. In turn, the call recipient can respond privately (using the
whisper mute feature) without the other party hearing him or her.
32

 Unpark The ShoreTel system allows users to unpark a connected call

from another extension. Please see Parking and Unparking Calls on
page 37 for more information.
Whisper Page The ShoreTel system allows users with the proper
permission to enter a call on another extension and whisper to the
recipient without the other party hearing. The call recipient can talk back
to you privately using the whisper page mute feature.
Whisper Page Mute If you receive a whisper page, you can speak
privately back to the person using the whisper page mute feature.

Bridged Call Appearances

The Bridged Call Appearances (BCA) feature provides "bridged" information
between many separate IP phones, offering the benefit of faster call handling
between users. The feature is intended for key system environments (a small
office or branch office), such as an auto dealership or small bank with 4 trunks
and 8 IP phones.
A custom button on each IP phone is configured for BCA so that when an
inbound call arrives, that custom button blinks green on all of the phones. If
someone answers the call, the LED on that person's phone becomes solid
green while the custom button on all of the other IP phones that have been
programmed with that BCA extension turns red. In this way, the call
appearance information is shared (or bridged) across the many different
phones in an organization.
You can place an outbound call using a bridged call appearance so others users
can view the call activity. To place an outbound call, press the bridged call
appearance, dial the trunk access code and then dial the number. When an
outbound call is placed, the LED on the outbound caller's phone becomes
solid green, and the associated button on all of the other phones become solid
red. If the call is placed on hold, the associated LEDs on all phones blink
green. A button can be programmed for each position in the call stack.
NOTE Pressing the top-most BCA custom button for outbound calls does not

necessarily access trunk 1. There is no one-to-one correlation between

the custom buttons programmed for BCA extensions and a particular
trunk. Trunks can be associated with BCA extensions in any random
manner desired by the system administrator.
Another benefit of the new BCA feature is that an outbound caller-id can be
associated with that button (configured by the system administrator). The
following rules determine which caller-id is displayed when an outgoing call is
made using BCA:
Outbound to an internal extension the name and number of the user
that initiated the BCA call will be used, and if that user is a "private" user,
then the caller-id is blank.
Outbound to an external number the caller-id will be used in following
order, based on availability:
33

 Outbound caller-id configured for that BCA

DID number configured for that BCA
External identification or caller-id number of the user that initiated
the BCA call
Outbound to an external emergency number (such as 911) the
emergency identification or a CESID number of that user will be sent.
For more information about Bridged Call Appearances, see your system
administrator. The system administrator can configure your bridged call
appearances to deliver Caller ID on inbound call, display Caller ID on active
calls, as well as turn on, turn off or delay the ringing on inbound calls.

Silent Monitor / Barge In

With the appropriate permissions (set by your system administrator for both
your phone and the target phone), you can listen to a call without being heard,
or join a call as a fully conferenced participant (barge in).
To silently monitor a call, dial
the call is active.
To barge in on a call, dial
call is active.

, then the extension on which

, then the extension on which the

NOTE If you use the Silent Monitor and Barge In features often, you should

have your system administrator configure a custom key to provide

one-button operation. See Programming Your Custom Buttons on
page 25 for more information.

Extension Monitoring
A monitored extension is a custom key (set by your system administrator) that
helps you manage incoming calls for that extension. It also serves as a shortcut
when performing one of the following functions: dialing that extension,
transfer, conference, call parking, call pickup and intercom to that extension.
Additionally, you can see when the monitored extension has unheard
messages by the
icon.
The phone displays icons in the monitored extension's label area to help you
determine the operational status of the monitored extension.

Answering a Monitored Extension's Call

In addition to the visual cues the monitored extension's icons and custom key
LED provide, you will also hear a different ring when a call comes in, and if
you're on a call, you will hear a higher pitched call waiting tone.
An incoming call for a monitored extension appears on your phone like this
(below):
34

Monitored
extension
Caller
Callers
number

Monitored
Extension

You can pick up the call while it is ringing by pressing the custom key or by
pressing the Answer soft key. You can send it to the monitored extension's
voice mail by pressing To VM. You can also answer a call after the owner of
the monitored extension has put it on hold by pressing the Pickup soft key.
When you put a call that has come in to the monitored extension on hold, the
call is parked on the owner's phone, so that either of you may pick up the call
again.
The system administrator can configure your monitored extensions to deliver
Caller ID on inbound call, display Caller ID on active calls, turn on, turn off or
delay the ringing on inbound calls.

Whisper Page
With the appropriate permissions (set by your system administrator for both
your phone and the target phone), the Whisper Page feature lets you break
into an active call in order to speak with an internal user. This occurs without
the remote caller hearing the interruption and without you hearing the remote
caller.
To issue a Whisper Page to another user who is on a call, dial
, plus
the extension of that user. Note that the recipient must be on an IP110, IP210,
IP212k, IP230/230g, IP530, IP560/560g, of IP565 handset. If a Whisper Page
call is sent to any other phone (e.g., IP100, SoftPhone, or analog phone) the
call will be treated as an intercom call.
NOTE If you use the Whisper Page feature often, you should have your

system administrator configure a custom key to provide one-button

Whisper Page operation. See Programming Your Custom Buttons on
page 25 for more information.

35

Picking Up the Night Bell

A night bell, when activated by your system administrator, allows calls to
route to an extension that will ring on an overhead speaker. This feature can
be convenient for off-hours when a caller needs to speak with anyone at a site.
If you have access to the night bell function (set by your system
administrator), dial
to answer the call at your site.
If you hear an error tone when you try to pick up the night bell, the night bell
may not be configured at your site or you may not have the necessary
permissions. Contact your system administrator if this occurs.
NOTE If you use the Night Bell feature often, you should have your system

administrator configure a custom key to provide one-button Night Bell

operation. See Programming Your Custom Buttons on page 25 for
more information.

Toggling the Hunt Group Status

With the appropriate permissions, you can toggle the hunt group status from
busy to not busy (or vice versa) by dialing
, plus the extension of
the hunt group. This feature is especially useful when hunt group members
are in a meeting or leave work early. If you are a member of more than one
hunt group, you must enter the extension associated with the desired hunt
group after dialing the access code above.

Overhead Paging
If you have permission (set by your system administrator) to access the
overhead paging system, dial the number given to you by your system
administrator and wait for the confirmation tone, and then begin speaking.
Hang up when you are finished.
If you hear an re-order tone or intercept tone when you try to page, paging
may not be configured at your site or you may not have the necessary
permissions. Contact your system administrator if this occurs.

Using Group Paging

Similar to the paging feature, you can also send an audible message to a select
group of users that have been configured for group paging. By dialing the
paging group extension associated with those users, you can record a message
that will be broadcast over the individual speakers of those users ShoreTel IP
phones.
To use this feature, dial the Group Paging Extension given to you by your
system administrator and wait for the confirmation tone. After you hear the
tone, begin speaking. Note that you are creating a recording that will be
36

broadcast to the other members of the Paging Group. Hang up when you have
finished recording.

Parking and Unparking Calls

With the appropriate permissions (set by your system administrator), you can
park a connected call on another extension by doing the following:
Step 1

Press the Park soft key.

Step 2

Dial the extension, press its custom key, or use the Directory
to find the party.

Step 3

Press the Park soft key again. To unpark the call, press
Unpark, repeat step 2, and press Unpark again.

NOTE If you use the Park or Unpark feature often, you should have your

system administrator configure a custom key to provide one-button

park operation. See Programming Your Custom Buttons on page 25
for more information.

37

CALL MANAGER SOFTWARE

In addition to using the telephone interface of your IP phone to access the
ShoreTel features, you can accomplish many of the same tasks with ShoreTels
Call Manager software. ShoreTel's Call Manager software provides a visual,
information-rich interface for managing and controlling communications
both telephone calls and voice mail.
The user-friendly interface lets you access all of the features and functions of
your ShoreTel IP phone system, including unified messaging, point-and-click
call management, customizable call-handling, and visual voice mail from your
Windows-based PC.
The software works in concert with your IP phone to let you perform the
following tasks:

dial by name or number

change the call handling mode
open a SoftPhone session
keep a 1000-line call history of inbound, outbound, and missed calls
interact with voice messages from your PC

Call Manager frees you from fruitless tasks like playing phone tag, looking up
numbers, struggling to set up conference calls, or interacting with voice mail
messages. Integrated presence eliminates phone tag by letting you know if a
line is busy or if an employee has redirected calls to another destination all
before dialing. And a visual display of up to 16 callers lets you switch from one
caller to another, transfer callers to another destination, or initiate a
conference with a simple mouse click.
ShoreTels Call Manager software comes in five flavors, each offering access to
slightly different capabilities and feature sets:

Personal Call Manager

Advanced Call Manager
Workgroup Agent Call Manager
Workgroup Supervisor Call Manager
Operator Call Manager

For more information about Personal Call Manager and what features are
available to you, see your system administrator.

38

WEB ACCESS
ShoreTel Web Access is a browser-based interface by which users can manage
personal options and settings from any web browser from anywhere in the
world. Call handling details and notification settings can be managed securely
and easily from anywhere.
For more information about web access and what features are available to you,

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: The voice mail system is notifying your callers that your mailbox has
exceeded its limit and is unable to accept new messages.
Solution: The voice mail system includes recently deleted messages still

your mailbox is full the next time you log into voice mail. If your mailbox is
full, first purge any backlog of deleted messages:
Step 1

Step 2

Problem: No one can hear you when you talk on the speakerphone.
Solution: Check for objects (e.g. coffee cups, books, etc.) blocking the
microphone. Also, you should check your volume settings.

Problem: Your display is blank.

Solution: You have no power. Ensure the network cable is connected to the
LAN port on the phone and the appropriate network data port in your office
space. Additionally, verify that you have a local AC power adapter plugged in
for your phone or that power is supplied by a PoE switch on your corporate
network. Contact your system administrator if this does not correct the issue.

Problem: You have no dial tone when you go off hook, but otherwise your

phone is working normally.

Solution: You have activated "Handsfree Mode," which is a feature used by
someone with an analog phone using a headset. See Enabling or Disabling
Handsfree Mode on page 27 for information on how to turn this feature off.
