41 Chapter 3 Using Star Codes Overview This chapter provides instructions for using Telego's star codes. When using star codes with Polycom phones, you will need to select the Dial soft key after you have finished dialing. Note: Before you can begin using star codes, your phone must be registered. If you have not yet registered your phone, see your administrator. What are Star Codes? Star codes are two-digit numbers prefixed with a star (*) and are used to tell the system what to do. Each star code maps directly to an action of the system, allowing you to access PBX features more easily. Star codes allow you to activate PBX functions, such as Do Not Disturb (DND), call forwarding, and Call Teach. To view the star codes that are available on your system, go to Lists > Feature Codes..

These star codes must be identical to one another (e.g., *64/*64 and *86/*86) when configurated as a toggle button. Figure 3-1. Telego Star Codes Issue 1, October

43 Basic Using Star Star Codes Codes Basic Star Codes Redial a Number (*66) To redial the last number that was called from your phone, dial *66 and press the Confirm button on the telephone keypad. You can also call the last number that was dialed from your phone by using the Call Log from the web interface (see Chapter 4, "Using the Web Interface," and go to View the Call Log). Example: * 6 6 Dial Call Return (*69) To dial the number of the last call, dial *69 and press the Confirm button on the telephone keypad. The number will be available until you establish a call to that number (not necessarily connect, however). This can help prevent you from calling back the same person twice. (However, if you use *69 and discontinue the call during its ring state, *69 cannot be used to access that number again, unless the caller calls again.) Example: * 6 9 Dial Notes: If you reach an external mailbox, the system will handle your Call Return as if the call had been successfully established and will clear the number. If you reach a mailbox of another extension on the system, the Call Return number will not be cleared and you will be able to make successive attempts to reach that extension by dialing the Call Return code. The system will store a Call Return number only for calls that contain a valid caller-id. Telephones that share the same extension number share the same redial and Call Return number. You can also call the last number that was dialed from your phone by using the Call Log in the web interface (see View the Call Log.) Intercom (*90) The Intercom feature mimics the old secretary-boss intercom systems. Intercom can be thought of as a one-part page with a two way audio. This feature is used for communicating with one other person. The other party must have a separate extension number, as the Intercom feature does not work between two phones that are registered to the same extension. Also, the Intercom feature does not work when multiple registrations are involved with the receiving extension. Note: Permission is needed to use the Intercom feature. If you are unable to activate this feature, see your administrator. Not all vendors support the Intercom feature. Check the user guide that came with your phone for more information. Issue 1, October

44 Telego PBX User Guide, Release 1.2 To activate: 1. Dial *90 and the extension you would like to intercom. 2. Press the Confirm button on the telephone keypad. Example: * Dial You can now begin conversing with the other party. Paging (one-way, one-to-many communication) is another feature that can be used to contact someone. See your administrator to have this set up. Transferring Calls Transfer Calls Calls can be transferred using either the Transfer button on your phone or star codes. The system supports two types of call transfers: blind transfer and attended transfer. Blind Transfer When you activate a blind transfer, the call is transferred with no knowledge as to whether the receiving party is available to receive the call. A blind transfer can be used for transferring calls to your voic or your cell phone. 1. Press the Transfer button on your phone, or press Hold and dial * Enter the extension number (or phone number) of the recipient. A blind transfer offers no confirmation of call connectivity. If the number is busy or does not exist or no one picks up, you will not be notified. Attended Transfer When using attended transfer, you must speak with the party who is receiving the call to ensure that the call is wanted. 1. Put the caller on hold (using the phone's Hold button). The LCD displays the call that is on hold. 2. Enter the destination number. 3. Once the party on the receiving end is prepared to take the call, press the Transfer button twice (the first Transfer connects the call; the second Transfer clears the music so that the parties can speak. (If your phone does not have a Transfer button, dial *77 to transfer the call.) Issue 1, October

45 Transferring Using Star Codes Calls You do not need to press the Hold button to free the call. If the person is not available to take the call, you can press the Hold button to reclaim the call and discuss the available options with the caller. Example: Hold Transfer Transfer Transfer a Call Directly to Someone's Voic If your systems administrator has enabled a direct dial number, which allows you to call your voice mailbox directly, you can "blindly" transfer a call to someone else's voice mail. The default for direct dial is "8." If you are unable to use this default, see your administrator. 1. Put the call on hold using the Hold button on your telephone keypad. 2. Press the Transfer key. (If your phone does not have a Transfer button, dial *77 to transfer the call.) 3. Enter the mailbox prefix key. 4. Enter the extension number. Example: Hold Transfer *77 Dial The caller is transferred to the extension's voic . Because the caller bypasses the voic timeout, the caller does not hear any ringing. This method does not need to involve an outside caller. To call a person's mailbox directly, dial Example: Dial Call Park (*85) and Call Park Retrieve (*86) Call Park allows you to send a caller to someone whose whereabouts (within paging proximity) are not known. The receiving party uses Call Park Retrieve (*86) to retrieve the call. Scenario: A call comes in for Diane, but you do not know where she it, so you put the customer on hold, dial *85, and press the checkmark button. You then page Diane, Diane, you have a call on extension 509 (509 is the extension on which the call was received). Diane executes the Call Park Retrieve (*86) feature, dials 509, and retrieves the call. Park orbits can also be used for parking calls (rather than using your extension). When using a park orbit, enter the extension number of the park orbit after *85. Park a call on your own extension 1. Put the call on hold (music plays in the background). If your phone does not have a Hold button, refer to the user guide that came with your phone. Issue 1, October

46 Telego PBX User Guide, Release Press *85 to park the call, then press the Confirm button on your telephone keypad. Hold Example: * 8 5 Dial An announcement indicates that the call has been parked. At this point, the call can be retrieved by any extension by dialing *86 and your extension number. Example: * Dial If the call is not picked up within a specified time (default is 1 minute), you will receive a call from the system reminding you that a call is waiting. Park a call on a specific extension: See your system administrator to determine which extensions are available for parking calls. The system administrator may configure specific park orbits (e.g., 800, 801, 802, and 803) on the system so that all users can park calls to the same place. This is useful for monitoring parked calls and buttons, as well as for applications that need to park calls. Park orbits also ensure that voic does not pick up. 1. Put the call on hold (music will play in the background). 2. Press *85 to park the call. 3. Enter the extension number. Example: Hold 5* Dial An announcement indicates that the call has been parked. At this point, the call may be retrieved by any extension (which has permission) by dialing *86 and the extension number on which the call has been parked. Example: 5* Dial Call Pickup (*87) Call Pickup allows you to pick up a phone that is ringing. It can be used to pick up calls ringing into a specific extension or for ringing calls in general, including calls ringing into a hunt group or agent group. Note: When compared to Call Park Retrieve, Call Pickup has a sense of urgency associated with it. (You must pick up the ringing phone before the call goes to voic .) Call Park Retrieve allows you to take your time, as the caller is already in the system. Issue 1, October

47 Conferencing Using Star Codes Before you can use Call Pickup, you must first put your last call on hold so that the system does not interpret and execute the star key during calls made to external systems that also use star keys. Directed Pickup 1. Dial * Dial the extension on which the call is ringing. 3. Press the Confirm button on the telephone keypad Example: 8 7 * Dial General Pickup Note: The Sipura devices from Linksys by default are not able to support star codes with more than two digits. Call Pickup can also be used without specifying an extension. To activate, dial *87 and press the Confirm button on the telephone keypad. Example: * 8 7 Dial The system searches for calls to pick up in the following order: Hunt groups: For a call that is headed for a specified hunt group, the system sends the call to the extension that dials the pickup code. If several calls ring the hunt group, then the system picks up only the first call that went to that hunt group. Conferencing Conference (*53) Extensions: When the account number is an extension, the system searches for calls that go directly to the specified extension. These calls can come from an auto attendant or through direct extension dialing. Calls that ring the extension because it is part of a hunt group or an agent group are not considered by Call Pickup. Agent groups: As with the hunt group, the system picks up a call from the specified agent group. For calls in the ringing state, the system picks the first call that is in that state. Otherwise, the system picks the call that entered the queue first. The Conference (*53) feature allows the user to quickly bring someone into an in session conference, even though the person is not part of the participant list. The new party can be on a cell phone or regular phone. The benefit of this feature is that the new party is required to do nothing but answer Issue 1, October
