Display and Non-display Digital Endpoints
Display and Non-display Digital Endpoints
The following display and non-display digital endpoints have a built-in speaker and micro-
phone that allow the user to answer intercom calls handsfree, dial while on-hook, monitor
calls, and listen to background music.
•
Model 8500, 8520, and 8560 digital endpoints
•
Standard Display Endpoint
•
Associate Display Endpoint
•
Axxess Basic Digital Endpoint
•
Eclipse Basic Digital Endpoint
These endpoints can be programmed in individual station programming to be allowed to use
system resources for standard and enhanced speakerphones. Enhanced mode allows for full-
duplex operation over a limited volume range (the range depends on trunk characteristics, typi-
cally the range is 1-3). Enhanced speakerphones are explained below.
If a user presses the Speaker button while on-hook, the standard switched speakerphone func-
tion is activated and the speakerphone resource is assigned to that endpoint for the length of
the call. If a user requests the speakerphone function when speakerphone resources are not
available, the user will hear reorder tones, and the display will show NO SPKRPHN AVAIL
STAY OFF HOOK.
If the user attempts to change to the speakerphone and hangs up during a call when speaker-
phones are unavailable, the user will be forced into a monitor-only mode. The user will be able
to hear the other party but will not be allowed to transmit to them. In this mode, the user’s
button will be lit, and the display shows NO SPKRPHN AVAIL COME OFF HOOK.
Pressing the lit button will result in a burst of reorder tone; lift the handset to speak.
NOTE:
On certain handsfree-to-handsfree intercom calls, voice volume levels may cause
feedback to occur. If this happens; one station user should pick up the handset. Two Display
endpoints cannot be in enhanced mode while on a call together; one endpoint must be off-hook
to allow the other endpoint to enter enhanced speakerphone mode. If both endpoints are on-
hook, there is no benefit to having one endpoint in enhanced mode.
Executive and Professional Display Endpoint Speakerphones
Each Executive and Professional Display Endpoint has a built-in, integrated speakerphone that
allows on-hook dialing and handsfree operation on outside calls and inside (intercom) calls.
The speakerphone can be used in standard mode or in enhanced mode which allows for full-
duplex operation over a limited volume range (the range depends on trunk characteristics, typi-
cally the range is 1-3). Enhanced speakerphones are explained on the following page.
The Executive and Professional Display Endpoint’s speakers can also provide background
music if an external music source is installed and the speaker is used to receive pages.
A programming option can be used to disable the endpoint’s speakerphone capabilities. Or, the
user can disable the speakerphone for intercom calls using the Handsfree On/Off and/or Ring
Intercom Always On/Off feature code.
NOTE:
On certain handsfree-to-handsfree intercom calls, voice volume levels may cause
feedback to occur. If this happens, one station user should pick up the handset. Two Display
endpoints cannot be in enhanced mode while on a call together; one endpoint must be off-hook
to allow the other endpoint to enter enhanced speakerphone mode. If both endpoints are on-
hook, there is no benefit to having one endpoint in enhanced mode.
