Re: Executone Medley Phone System
Question: I am trying to upgrade my Executone Medley phone system by adding the Expansion card for 8 more extensions and 4 more CO lines.

I have installed the card, and all the extensions from 108 to 115 are working fine. But I cannot get dial tone for Line 5 which is the new line I have added. I have programmed a button for Line 5 ( CO 5 ), But when I press the button, it jumps to HF and beeps.

Have I missed a step in Line Programming somewhere?

Answer: When the system is at default, all you need to do to get outside line access on line 5 is to program a button for it. There are 2 types of beeps, a fast busy (reorder) or a busy. If you are getting the fast busy, verify that the button is actually programmed as a CO Line 5 and not an invalid station key. If you are getting the busy, verify that the line is alive at the Network Interface with a butt set. Also make sure you are punched down on the 66 block in the right location for line 5. It should be Violet-Orange/ Orange- Violet pair for line 5.

Re: Executone Medley or IDS Phone System
Question: I would like to turn down my speaker volume. I have found the volume button, but it doesn't keep. When I dial in to check my voice mail, it is extremely loud (I always use it via the speaker). My ring is also very loud, which I would like to turn down.

Answer: To adjust Ring Volume press the MENU(F1) key. Dial 42. Select 1 for Low Ring Volume, 2 for Medium Ring Volume, 3 for High Ring Volume, or 0 for No Ring.

There is nothing you should have to do to save the volume settings for Handsfree or Handset volumes. To adjust the volume of Handsfree calls, which would include Handsfree calls to your voice mail, do the following:

Press the HF key. You should hear Intercom Dial Tone. Press the More(F2) key then press the Vol- or Vol+ key below the display. When the volume is set to where you like it, press the HF key again to hang up. The Handfree volume should stay for all Handsfree calls.

This will not effect the Handset volume. You can adjust the Handset volume as follows:

Lift the hanset. You should hear Intercom Dial Tone. Press the More(F2) key then press the Vol- or Vol+ key below the display. When the volume is set to where you like it, hang up the handset. The Handset volume should stay for all Handset calls.

On the Executone IDS systems volume is adjusted almost in the same way. However, there are more individual functions. Volume adjustments only apply to the function that you are currently connected.

Re: Executone Medley or IDS Phone System
Question: My new phone's display is not working. Help?

Answer: On the Isoetec Digital Phones there is an adjustment wheel for the display. It is located on the Right side bottom of the phone. Try adjusting that. If that does not work, it is a bad phone.

Re: Executone System
Question: We have 12 extensions, but we have 2 phones at the front desk that ring at the same time when there is an incoming call. We no longer need the 2nd phone to ring. We would like to program a new phone in a different office to ring instead. Can you please let me know what to do?

Answer: There is no easy answer for this question. Executone made all kinds of models of phone systems. Each had their own method of programming. Some were programmed by use of buttons that represented binary code. These systems were Encore and Equity. Some were programmed through an admin phone (EZ36 and 18) Then they made various other models that were programmed using a PC with terminal emulation program installed on it. Each one of these models was different in how you programmed line ringing. These models were System 66, Ssytem 96, IDS42, 84, 108, 228, 432, 648. On these systems the installers would normally password protect the database so you could not get in to change anything.

Also, the flexibility of some of their models of systems makes it difficult to give an easy answer. There are many ways that the original installer could have used to make multiple phones ring. The phones could be in a Hunt Group and the call rings in to the Hunt Group. One or more extensions could be covering a ringing extension using Call Coverage Keys or the stations may be using Direct Ring. Changing the way multiple phones ring could also have an adverse effect on the way your voice mail system handles calls. That is, if you have voice mail on your system.

Re: Isoetec M-series Phone (ISOET84700)
Question: How do I program an individual extension to auto dial another extension or show when that extension is currently in use?

Answer: You will need to put a dss button on your M-18 phone with the extension # of the phone you want to observe and call. This button will allow you to visually see if the extension in question is busy, and if you want to call that extension, you only need to hit that dss button.

You will also need to get into the system programming and go to Menu [A] Station programming. Enter in the extension # of the phone that you want the button on. Go to the [K] Key menu and pick which button you want to be the dss button. Then enter the extension # of the phone you want to call on the button you choose.

Re: Inter-Tel Axxess Speakerphone
Question: I have an Inter-Tel phone. Model: KTS Standard w/LCD , Part Number: 550.4000 .

I moved locations in our office and somehow the speaker phone volume is set really low. For every call I have to raise the volume up. Do you know what the Feature Code is or a way to set the volume up permanently?

Answer: While on a Speakerphone Call, adjust the volume to where you want it, then press the Volume Up and Volume Down key at the same time. This will save the volume for the Speakerphone function.

Re: Inter-Tel Axxess and Axxent Phone Systems
Question: I can set up 3 people on a conference call, but when I try to add a fouth, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Answer: This is a limitation of the Axxess and Axxent systems. According to the Axxess Telephone Tech Manual, "There can be up to four parties in a conference. In addition to the initiating station, the conference can include any combination of up to 3 intercom and/or outside calls" There is some additional hardware necessary to increase the number of 4-party conferences you can have on the systems, but it does not increase the number of parties you can have in a particular conference.

Re: Inter-Tel Axxess Telephones
Question: How can I forward all calls directly to voice mail?

Answer: Use call forwarding to do this. Put your phone in manual forward by pressing the "FWD" key. Then enter the forward destination, which would be the extension number of the voice mail application on your system. If you are not sure what it is, ask the operator as it is the same number they would use to transfer a caller directly to someone's mailbox. Internal and External calls will be forwarded.

Re: Inter-Tel Axxess Telephones
Question: Everytime my phone rings I am unable to pick it up without pushing the flashing key next to call 1 or call 2. Help!

Answer: From your Keyset, press the SPCL or the Infinity key, then dial 360. This is the Feature code for Auto Trunk Access. This feature has to be On to make the phone work in the way you would prefer.

Re: Inter-Tel Telephones
Question: Is there a way for the phone to be set to automatically go to night mode at a certain time? If not, is there a way to lock the phone in night mode and only one person deactiviate it?

Answer: The Inter-Tel Axxess system can be programmed to simulate Automatic Night Mode as long as it is Version 5.1 or higher and you have the Axxessorytalk or EVMC Voice mail on it. At version 5.1 there was a new Voice Mail Application created called STAR (Scheduled Timebased Application Routing). This Application can be programmed to route incomming calls based on Time of Day, Day of the Week, or even Specific Dates. Setting this up involves a lot of system programming and it can not be done through the phone itself.

You asked if there is a way to lock the phone in night mode and only have one person deactivate it. Well, not really, but only a phone that is programmed to be an administrator phone in system programming can use the Night Key or Night Mode Feature Code. So I suppose what you could do is program only one phone to be Administrator, put the system in Night Mode, or Day Mode, then physically unplug that phone and hide it somewhere. When the system Mode needs to be changed plug the phone back in and hit the Night Key or enter the Feature Code.

Re: Inter-Tel Axxess Telephones
Question: How do you change the display name on your telephone?

1. Without pressing "SPKR" or lifting the handset, press the "SPCL" or Infinity key and dial "9932" to enter programming. (If you get a "Reserved Feature" message when you dial "9932" to enter programming, the phone you are using is not programmed as an administrator phone.)
2. Enter password if prompted.
3. Press "1" for station programming.
4. Dial the extension number of the station you wish to program.
5. Press "#".
6. Dial "2" for station information.
