Advanced Telephone Features
Avaya call management systems provide many advanced telephone features such as Directory, Call Forwarding, and

on the associated paper labels. The features that have been administered for your telephone are also listed in the Features Menu
that you can access from the Phone display. For more information about the Features Menu, see About the Features Menu.
The features that are available to you depend on what your administrator has assigned to your telephone. A few of the most
commonly administered features are explained below. For more information about all the features that are available for your
extension, contact your system administrator.
Avaya Menu
You can use the Avaya Menu to adjust and customize phone settings, configure call logging, select the display language, view
network settings, and log out.
The Avaya Menu has six sub-menus:
•Screen/Sound — lets you adjust the display brightness and contrast, select your ringing pattern, turn button click
sounds on and off, and turn error tones on and off.
•Call Settings — lets you turn the call timer display, visual alerting, and show incoming calls on or off; set the redial
option; and set the audio path to speakerphone or headset.
•Applications — lets you turn call logging on and off as well as turn logging of bridged calls, line calls, and line calls
answered by others on and off.
•Advanced Options — lets you select the display language; set automatic gain control on the handset, headset, and
speaker; or initiate a manual backup/restore if you have a backup/restore file server. See your system administrator for
more information.
•Network Information — shows a summary of network-related parameters for your phone, such as IP parameters and
Quality of Service.
•Log Out — lets you log out of your telephone to prevent unauthorized use during your absence.
Note: The sub-menus that appear depend on how your extension was administered. Some submenus may not be available.

Special Instructions
Use the following special instructions for operating your telephone.
•The first time you use these procedures, you will need to customize them for yourself by obtaining the relevant
information from your system manager.
•To operate a feature, you must have the handset off-hook or the speaker or speakerphone on unless otherwise noted.

1608 IP Telephone End User Guide | 7 | Page

return to Step 1. Feature Finder
Answer a Call
Provides the procedures for answering a call. When you receive an incoming call, the green LED associated with the call will
flash. The incoming call is usually selected automatically. However, if you are already on a call or if you receive more than one
incoming call at a time, you may need to select the call you want to answer manually.
Make a Call
Provides procedures for making a call.
Hold
Puts a call on hold until you can return to it. While a call is on hold, you can place another call, activate another feature,
answer a waiting call, or leave your telephone to perform another task. Use when you have a call you do not wish to drop, but
which you have to interrupt briefly to do something else.
Transfer
Transfers a call from your telephone to another extension or outside number. Use when your caller needs to speak further with
someone else.
Bridged Calls
Your phone may show a bridged call appearance on the display screen in addition to your own call appearances. A bridged call
appearance typically belongs to someone else, but bridging allows you to see if that call appearance is in use, answer calls on
that call appearance, or join a call in progress on that call appearance from your telephone. You can also make outgoing calls
on a bridged call appearance when it is not in use. The ringing bridged call appearance may be selected automatically if there
are no other active calls. If the ringing appearance is displayed, you can answer by picking up the handset or by pressing the
Speaker button. If you are on another call when a call comes in to a bridged call appearance, you may have to select the ringing
call appearance button (just like for an incoming call to a primary line).
Conference
Permits you to establish a conference call to speak with up to five people in different locations on the same call. Additional
conferencing options may be available through Expanded Meet-Me Conferencing. Contact your system administrator for more
information about this feature.
Call Forwarding All Calls
Allows you to forward your incoming calls to another number. You must enter the telephone number where the calls will be
forwarded each time you use this feature. You can forward calls only to internal numbers.
Send All Calls
Allows you to send all of your incoming calls directly to a predefined coverage number, typically your voice mail. Incoming
calls ring once at your extension and then go directly to a number which is set by your system administrator.
Directory
Allows you to dial other users in your system by name.
Contacts
Permits you to use your contact list as an address book. You can save up to 100 names and telephone numbers.
Call Log
Lets you view a list of your recent calls or to view separate lists of your outgoing, answered, or missed calls. See the procedures
for turning call logging on or off for information about logging bridged call appearances, line call appearances, and line calls
that are answered by others.
Telephone Settings
Allows you to configure various settings to utilize advanced featuers of your telephone.

Log In/Out Telephone
Permits you to log in and out of your telephone, and maintain your contacts and personal options if you share a telephone with
other users, or if you want to use the same extension from another phone. Logging out also prevents unauthorized use of your
telephone during an absence. Call log information is lost after you log out.
Message
Use the Message button to connect directly to your voice mail system. A red light on the upper right-hand corner of your
telephone indicates when you have messages waiting. Your messages are an administered function. Contact your system
administrator with any questions.
Mute
For turning off (and then back on again) the microphone so the other person on the call cannot hear you. If a call is on mute
and you switch between the handset, headset, or speakerphone, the mute will be turned off. When the Mute button light is on,
the call is muted.
Redial
Permits you to redial a recently dialed number.
