Introduction
About this manual
This manual contains all that you need to know to operate your PCS 571/572 connected to a SpliceCom
maximiser system using version 3.2 software. This manual assumes that the PCS 571/572 telephone has
been connected and configured by your System Administrator, and is ready for use. If this is not the case
please refer to your System Administrator for further assistance.
How your PCS 571/572 will operate
Your User Account
You are a “User” of the SpliceCom maximiser telephone system and as such you have a User account on
the system. Your User name will be used to identify you as you make, receive and transfer calls. Each of
your colleagues will also have a User account and will be identified in the same way, by their User name.
A list of the Users of your telephone system can be viewed via the Directory as explained in the Contacts
Directory section from page 22.
As a User on the system you will be given an extension number, eg 2021, and possibly a DDI number, eg
01632 563862. So that when a colleague rings your extension number or an external contact rings your
DDI number these will be routed to your User account.
Your User account will store all of your User settings (as described in the User Settings section from page
31) so that when you login to another handset (as described in the Hot Desking/Log In section from page
55) these settings will be available to you and your calls will be routed to whichever phone you are logged
on to.
Logging On
In most implementations the PCS 571/572 will be your permanent desktop phone and such it will have
been automatically allocated to you by your System Administrator therefore there will be no need for you
to log in or log out. However, if you are a Hot Desk User, in other words a User who has been given the
ability to log in to any phone on the system because, for example, you need to move around the building
or you are rarely in the office and do not need a permanent telephone please refer to the Hot
Desking/Log In section from page 55 for further information.
Home Page
The default display on your telephone when idle will display the SpliceCom logo together with your User
Name, extension number and the current date and time. Please refer to your system administrator if you
would like this changed, for example, to display your company logo. You can also determine what is
displayed on the screen when your handset is idle, please refer to the Defaults section from page 37 for
further details.
While using your phone you can return to your home page by pressing the context sensitive
key beside the Home icon.
